GAME NOTES

COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

319Since 2014, the Steelers have recorded 319 sacks, which is the most sacks among all NFL teams. Pittsburgh has 34 more sacks than the next best team.

265WR JuJu Smith-Schuster is the third player in NFL history to register 250 career receptions before his 24th birthday. His 265 catches rank second in League history among players 23 or younger.

177Since 2014, the Steelers’ offensive line unit has yielded 177 sacks, which is the second-fewest sacks allowed among all NFL teams.

146Since entering the NFL in 2010, CB Joe Haden has recorded 146 passes defensed, which is the most of any NFL player since 2010. He also ranks second overall among active NFL players.

125Mike Tomlin and QB Ben Roethlisberger have teamed up for 125 regular-season wins, which are the third-most by a head coach-quarterback pairing in NFL history.

90OL Alejandro Villanueva extended his regular-season games played streak to 90 which is tied for the second-longest active streak among active NFL offensive tackles.

84

WR Chase Claypool hauled in an 84-yard TD from QB Ben Roethlisberger that gave the Steelers a 14-3 lead in Week 2 vs. Denver. The 84-yard TD reception was tied for the fourth-longest by a rookie in franchise history. The 84-yard TD reception marked the longest scrimmage TD by a Canadian-born player in NFL history.

69With the Week 11 victory vs. Jacksonville (27-3), Mike Tomlin remained 12th in NFL history with a career record of 69 games over .500.

67

Pittsburgh has registered at least 1.0 sack in 67 consecutive regular-season games, which is the longest active streak in the NFL. The 67-game streak is also the longest in regular-season franchise history and second longest in NFL history. The NFL record for consecutive regular-season games with at least 1.0 sack is 69 games by Tampa Bay (1999-2003). Head coach Mike Tomlin was on the Buccaneers staff during the final three seasons of the streak.

59Pittsburgh leads the NFL with 59 takeaways since the start of the 2019 season. The Steelers have forced at least one turnover in 23 of their last 26 games, including nine games in 2020.

43.5Since entering the NFL in 2017, LB T.J. Watt has recorded 43.5 sacks, which ranks fourth overall and tops among all NFL linebackers over that span.

29.0 LB T.J. Watt has recorded 29.0 sacks in 29 career games at Heinz Field.

14-2

Pittsburgh toppled 4-1 Cleveland in Week 6, 5-0 Tennessee in Week 7 and 5-1 Baltimore in Week 8.

The Patriots only won two of those three games but would ultimately win Super Bowl XXXIX.

14LB Vince Williams and LB T.J. Watt are tied for second in the NFL with 14 TFL, which rank first in TFL over the first 10 games of a season in franchise history.

12With his five catch, 103-yard effort against Miami Dolphins on Oct. 28, 2019, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster became the first wide receiver in NFL history to post 12 100-yard receiving games prior to his 23rd birthday.

10Pittsburgh rallied from second-half deficits of 10 or more points in two straight weeks (Week 8 at Baltimore, Week 9 at Dallas). The Steelers have not erased 10-point deficits and won back-to-back games on the road since Week 11 and 12 of 1953.

9In the Week 8 victory at Baltimore (28-24), LB Bud Dupree sacked QB Lamar Jackson and forced a fumble. He forced his ninth turnover caused by pressure since the start of 2019, most in the NFL in that span.

9RB James Conner registered his ninth career 100-yard rushing game vs. Cleveland in Week 6, which is the seventh-most in franchise history.

10-0With the Week 10 victory vs. Jacksonville (27-3), Pittsburgh improved to 10-0 on the season, which is the best start in franchise history. The previous mark was established by the 1978 club when it opened 7-0, finished 14-2 and won the Super Bowl.

10WR Chase Claypool’s 10 TDs are the most by a wide receiver in his first 10 career games in the Super Bowl era.

8WR Chase Claypool’s eight TD receptions are tied with four other players for the second most by a rookie in his first 10 career games since 1970.

7.0Pittsburgh already has three players with at least 7.0 sacks in 2020 (LB T.J. Watt with 9.0, LB Bud Dupree with 8.0 and DE Stephon Tuitt with 7.0).

6.0

LB T.J. Watt, DE Stephon Tuitt and LB Bud Dupree were the first trio of teammates to each record 6.0 or more sacks over the first seven games of the season since 1998 when San Francisco’s Roy Barker (8.5), Chris Doleman (7.0) and Bryant Young (6.5) accomplished the feat. Watt, Dupree and Tuitt are the fourth trio of teammates to each record 6.0 or more sacks through seven games since 1982.

4.0

LB T.J. Watt needs at least 4.0 more sacks this season to join Pro Football Hall of Famers Reggie White (four seasons) and Derrick Thomas (three) as the only players to record at least 13.0 sacks in three of their first four seasons since 1982, when the individual sack became an official NFL statistic. Watt recorded 13.0 sacks in 2018 and 14.5 sacks in 2019.

4TH

WR Chase Claypool became the fourth rookie since 1970 with at least two receiving TDs and one rushing TD in a single game in the Steelers’ 38-29 win over Philadelphia in Week 5. He joined Lynn Cain (Oct. 14, 1979), Joey Galloway (Nov. 12, 1995) and Kareem Hunt (Sept. 7, 2017).

5-0With the 27-3 victory over Jacksonville in Week 11, Pittsburgh has opened three seasons in franchise history with victories in its first five road games (1975, 1983 and 2020).

3RD

WR Chase Claypool registered seven receptions for 110 yards and three TDs, and added a rushing TD, in the Steelers’ 38-29 win over Philadelphia in Week 5. He is the third rookie wide receiver to record four TDs in a single game in NFL history, joining Jerry Butler (Sept. 23, 1979) and Harlon Hill (Oct. 31, 1954).

0Pittsburgh has not allowed a sack over each of its last three games. The Steelers’ three-game streak without surrendering a sack is the franchise’s longest streak since 1982 when sacks became an official category.
