COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

1988 LB Devin Bush was the first NFL rookie with at least 100 tackles, 4 fumble recoveries, 2 interceptions, 1 forced fumble and 1 sack in the same season since Bennie Blades of the Detroit Lions in 1988.

1970 LB Devin Bush was the first NFL rookie since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger with at least 85 tackles, 4 fumble recoveries, 2 interceptions and 1 TD fumble return in a season.

281 Since 2014, the Steelers have recorded 281 sacks, which is the most sacks among all NFL teams.

200 WR JuJu Smith-Schuster had three receptions, including his 200th career catch, in the Steelers’ 26-24 win over the Colts on Nov. 3, 2019. At 22 years and 346 days old, Smith-Schuster was the first player to record 200 career receptions before his 23rd birthday in NFL history.

167 Since 2014, the Steelers’ offensive line unit has yielded 167 sacks, which is the third-fewest sacks allowed among all NFL teams.

137 Since entering the NFL in 2010, CB Joe Haden has recorded 137 passes defensed, which is the most of any NFL player since 2010. He also ranks fifth overall among active NFL players.

96 S Minkah Fitzpatrick registered a 96-yard interception return for TD in the 26-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 3, 2019. The 96-yard interception return for TD was the second-longest in regular-season franchise history. The longest interception return for TD in regular-season franchise history is a 99-yard interception return for TD by Martin Kottler on Sept. 27, 1933 (the first year of the Steelers existence).

87.1 Pittsburgh completed 27 of 31 passes against Cincinnati on Sept. 30, 2019 (QB Mason Rudolph went 24 of 28, while RB Jaylen Samuels went 3 of 3). The 87.1 completion percentage is a team franchise record.

85.7 QB Mason Rudolph’s 85.7% (24 of 28) completion percentage (min. 20 completions) against Cincinnati (Sept. 30) was the highest for a quarterback in his second career start or earlier since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger.

81.4 QB Mason Rudolph was the third quarterback since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger to re-cord a passer rating of at least 81.4 and throw a TD in each of his first 6 career starts.

109 LB Devin Bush set a franchise rookie record with 109 tackles, which is the most by a Steeler in a season since Lawrence Timmons had 114 in 2016

85 WR Diontae Johnson returned a punt 85 yards for a TD at Arizona on Dec. 8, 2019. The punt return for a TD was Pittsburgh’s first since Antonio Brown raced 71 yards for a TD vs. Indianapolis on Dec. 6, 2015. The 85-yard punt return for TD is the longest punt return for a TD in franchise history and second-longest punt return in franchise history.

80 OL Alejandro Villanueva extended his regular-season games played streak to 80, which is tied for the third-longest active streak among active NFL offensive tackles.

74 OL Alejandro Villanueva extended his regular-season games started streak to 74, which is the fourth-longest active streak among active NFL offensive tackles.

57 Pittsburgh has registered at least 1 sack in 57 consecutive games, which is the longest active streak in the NFL. The 57-game streak is also the longest in regular-season fran-chise history and sixth-longest in NFL history. The NFL record for consecutive games with at least 1 sack is 69 games by Tampa Bay (1999-2003). Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin was on the Buccaneers staff during the final three seasons of the streak.

54.0 DT Cameron Heyward’s 54.0 career sacks are the second-most by a Steelers’ defen-sive lineman, fifth-most among active NFL DT and eighth-most by any Steelers defender (since 1982).

54 Pittsburgh registered an NFL-best 54 sacks in 2019. The 54 sacks were the most for theSteelers in a season since 2017 -- when Pittsburgh recorded 56. The 54 sacks were tied for the fourth-most for the Steelers in a season since 1982 (when sacks became an officially recognized stat by the NFL).

38 Pittsburgh forced 38 turnovers in 2019, which led the NFL. The 38 takeaways were the most for the Steelers in a season since 1996 -- when Pittsburgh forced 40.

34.5 Since entering the NFL in 2017, LB T.J. Watt has recorded 34.5 sacks, which ranks fifth overall and first among all NFL linebackers over that span.

26.0 LB T.J. Watt (14.5) and LB Bud Dupree (11.5) combined for 26.0 sacks in 2019, which was the second-most of any tandem in the NFL. Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul of Tampa Bay combined for 28.0.

COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

22-297 At 22 years and 297 days old, JuJu Smith-Schuster, who now has 2,895 career re-ceiving yards, surpassed Randy Moss (22 years, 310 days) as the youngest player to reach 2,500 career receiving yards in NFL history

20 RB James Conner has 20 rushing touchdowns since the start of the 2018 season, which ranks tied for ninth in the NFL. Seven of the eight players with more TD runs than Conner have played in at least five more games than the Steelers running back.

13 LB T.J. Watt needs at least 13 sacks to join Pro Football Hall of Famers Reggie White (four seasons) and Derrick Thomas (three) as the only players to record at least 13 sacks in three of their first four seasons since 1982, when the individual sack became an official NFL statistic. Watt recorded 13 sacks in 2018 and 14.5 sacks in 2019.

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

11.5 LB T.J. Watt (14.5) and LB Bud Dupree (11.5) were 1 of 3 duos in the League (Za’Darius Smith, 13.5, and Preston Smith, 12.0, of Green Bay; Aaron Donald, 12.5, and Dante Fowler, 11.5, of Los Angeles Rams) with at least 11.5 sacks apiece.

9.0 Pittsburgh had 3 different players record at least 9.0 sacks in 2019 (T.J. Watt with 14.5, Bud Dupree with 11.5 and Cameron Heyward with 9.0). The Steelers were the only team in the NFL with 3 players that recorded at least 9.0 sacks.

8 S Minkah Fitzpatrick was involved in 8 of the Steelers’ 38 takeaways in 2019 (5 interceptions, 1 forced fumble and 2 fumble recoveries), despite playing in 14 games for Pittsburgh. Fitzpatrick’s 8 total takeaways (interceptions and fumble recoveries) led the NFL.

5 LB T.J. Watt put together an NFL Defensive Player of the Year-caliber season in 2019.He ranked in the top-five in the NFL in sacks (14.5, t-4th), quarterback hits (36, 3rd), forced fumbles (8, t-1st) and fumble recoveries (4, t-2nd). Watt also ranked tied for 12th in tackles for loss (14).

5 S Minkah Fitzpatrick ranked tied for fourth in the NFL with 5 interceptions in 2019. His 5 interceptions were the most by a Steeler in a single season since Troy Polamalu had 7 picks in 2010.
