1 - Number of sacks per game James Harrison is averaging in 2011. After his three-sack performance against the Ravens, Deebo now has five sacks in five games played.
2 -- Number of games Mike Wallace has played in Cincinnati; also number of 100-yard receiving games he has in Cincinnati (102 in '09, 110 in '10).
3 -- Number of consecutive 300-plus yard passing games for Ben Roethlisberger heading into Week 10, the first time a Steelers quarterback has had back-to-back-to-back 300-yard performances.
4 -- Roethlisberger's rank among active quarterbacks in terms of passing yards accumulated since 2004. Here's the list: 1) Drew Brees (32,657)... 2 ) Peyton Manning (29, 943)... 3) Tom Brady (27,214).... 4) Ben Roethlisberger (25,134)
5 -- Number of touchdown receptions for A.J. Green, tops among rookies in '11. Green also leads all rookies with 40 receptions.
6 -- With a win over the Steelers, Andy Dalton would become the first rookie quarterback since Vince Young (2006) to lead his team to six consecutive victories at some stage during the season.
10 -- Number of red zone touchdown passes for Dalton through 8 weeks compared to zero interceptions.
11 -- Number of AFC teams that are in or within 1 game of the lead in their respective divisions, the most in either conference since the NFL reshuffled its divisions in 2002.
12 -- Number of fumbles forced by the Bengals defense, tied for second most. The Bengals have recovered 9 of them, a high percentage that history suggests will taper off as the season progresses.
