Some interesting stats...

I'm sorry, but I'm definitely a stats guy. I'm the kind of guy that remembers exit numbers instead of exit "names" when driving on the highway (that's why I'm all discombobulated ever since I-279 changed its exit numbers within the last few months).

So with that said, here are some stats from today that I found interesting...

Rashard Mendenhall had more rushing yards in one game (165) than Willie Parker has had all season (159).

Also, it's shocking to know that Adrian Peterson is not the NFL leading rusher. There are four other players in front of him, and Chris Johnson is on pace for 1,700 yards for the season (and the Tennessee Titans are still 0-4? Crazy!)

We have had 3 different receivers with 100-yard games (Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes & Mike Wallace). Limas Sweed, on the other hand, has had 100 drops.

Ben Roethlisberger is the third-leading quarterback in the NFL with 1,193 passing yards. His 73.2 percent completion, however, is the best among all quarterbacks (Mewelde Moore, of course, has a 100 percent completion with his TD pass to Heath Miller). Payton Manning's completion percentage is 70.8.

Hines Ward is the 6th leading receiver and is on pace for 1,400 yards. That's nuts. Santonio Holmes is on pace for 1,100 yards. Holmes has converted 18 first downs, and Ward 15. Who is our "possession receiver" now?

Our offense (6th) is ranked the same as our defense (6th) in yardage imposed/allowed.

We have 8 sacks in 4 games, on pace for 32 ... a vast downgrade from the 51 sacks we logged last year.

Also, Ben is on pace for getting sacked 40 times, but I don't think we can blame the O-Line this year. They're playing tremendous football.
