The Jets were a Top 10 defense in all but 1 of 6 seasons (2013) under Rex Ryan. They ranked 6th in total defense last season, but are actually better (4th) this year. The Bills are allowing 23.8 PPG, while the Jets are allowing 20.3 PPG. The Jets lead the NFL in rush defense, giving up just 80.6 rushing YPG, while Buffalo has allowed 93.6 rushing YPG (6th in NFL).

In NFL history, there has never been a team with a QB-RB-WR trio all over the age of 30 to amass 4,000 pass yards, 1,000 rush yards & 1,000 receiving yards. However, the 2015 Cardinals are on their way to becoming the first with QB Carson Palmer on pace for 4,772 passing yards, RB Chris Johnson on pace for 1,352 rushing yards, and WR Larry Fitzgerald on pace for 1,412 receiving yards.

The Packers have defeated the Lions in 24 straight home games (including playoffs), the longest streak in NFL history. The last time the Lions won at GB came in Week 16, 1991 (21-17) -- when Erik Kramer defeated Mike Tomczak. Lions interim general manager Sheldon White was a CB on that Lions team. That offseason, the Packers traded for Brett Favre.

Peyton Manning has now thrown an INT in 8 straight games, the longest single-season streak by a Broncos QB since Jacky Lee went 11-straight games with an IND in 1964. The last NFL QB to go 9 games with at least 1 INT was Blake Bortles in 2014.

Of the seven head coaches hired prior to the 2014 season, Mike Zimmer is the only one with a winning record (13-11). Jim Caldwell, Bill O'Brien, Mike Pettine, Jay Gruden and Lovie Smith are all at-or-below .500. Ken Whisenhunt was fired after posting a 3-20 record since the beginning of 2014.

Cam Newton is on pace to be the first player in NFL history to throw 25+ TD passes and score 10+ rush TD in a single season. As it stands now, only Newton (2011) and Kordell Stewart (1997) have finished a season with 20+ pass TD and 10+ rush TD.

Tom Coughlin is 5-1 in his career vs Bill Belichick (3-1 with NYG vs NE and 2-0 with JAX vs CLE). His .833 win pct is the highest of any coach to face Belichick at least 5 times. The Giants have defeated the Patriots in 3 straight games, including 2 Super Bowls. Since Bill Belichick arrived in New England in 2000, no team has defeated the Patriots 4 straight times.

Here's a scary thought: J.J. Watt has 1.5 more sacks, 5 more tackles for loss, and 2 more QB hits through 8 games this season than he did last year at this point. Watt is just 0.5 sacks behind Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas for the 2nd-most sacks in a player's first 5 seasons.

If Ben Roethlisberger misses the start as expected, no one will miss him more than Antonio Brown. In the 5 games Roethlisberger has started this season, Brown is averaging 10.4 receptions and 153.4 receiving yards per game. In the other 4 games, those averages have plummeted to 4.3 receptions and 58.8 receiving yards per game.

Jameis Winston has gone 4 straight games without throwing an INT. Since 1950, no rookie QB that was the #1 overall pick has gone 5 consecutive games without an INT.
