- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have called the most plays in the NFL this year, averaging a colossal 63.9 plays per game.
- The Cincinnati Bengals defensive front has gotten pressure on opposing quarterbacks 2.58 seconds after the snap (on average), grading out as the 2nd-most sluggish in football since the start of last season.
