The nephew of Peyton and Eli and grandson of Archie had a stat line that hasn't been done in football in recent history.
First, the stat combination provided by OptaStats:
200+ passing yards
150+ rushing yards
Multiple passing TDs
Multiple rushing TDs
No sacks
No turnovers
15.0+ yards per rush
According to OptaStats, Arch is the only FBS or NFL quarterback in the last 30 seasons to have a game with all those statistics.
The highlight of Arch's day was a 60-yard TD run, but he was special throughout.
He completed 21-of-34 passes for 221 yards and two scores.
He ran nine times for 155 yards and two more scores.
It was a special way for Arch to end this season.
He'll be coming back for next season, hoping to make the College Football Playoff while raising his NFL Draft stock as high as possible.

This wasn't a bad way to propel him toward that future.
