Compiling statistics can take hours upon hours in order to find the proper numbers. To save you the trouble, here are some of the best statistics about the Steelers from this past week.
I will begin with a few statistics of my own before going on to other various Steeler sources. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @STLRSuperFanDad in order to get some of BTSC’s geekiest stats.
Since Ben Roethlisberger came in the league in 2004, the @steelers have only been underdogs in 3 games during the final 2 weeks of the season. In those games, the Steelers are 3-0.

All 4 AFC North teams won this past week (Week 15). The last time all 4 teams won the same week was in Week 15 of 2005 where the Steelers went on to win the Super Bowl. Coincidence? I think not.

With a reception on Sunday, @AB84 will break a tie with Wes Welker (2007-12: 672) for the most catches in any 6-year span.
For Cam Jordan's researcher: Ben Roethlisberger has the best record (143-68-1), most yards per game (259.5) and most yards per attempt (7.9), not only among Eli Manning and Philip Rivers, but also John Elway, Dan Marino and Jim Kelly in their careers.
