The victory marked the first time since the league expanded to 32 teams in 2002 that any quarterback under 30 defeated 31 opponents, including the playoffs, according to the team website.
He is also now one of just 10 quarterbacks to have accomplished the feat. Only Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre have beaten all 32 teams.
