FROM A TO Z
Compiled by CHUCK SCHILKEN Baltimore:
Alex Collins, who leads the Ravens in rushing with 393 yards and six TDs, faces a Bengals defense that has allowed 500 total yards in each of last three games.
Buffalo:
The Nathan Peterman era ended last week when the Bills released the second-year quarterback, who threw three TD passes with 12 picks in eight games.
Cincinnati:
Head coach Marvin Lewis takes over defensive coordinator duties against the Ravens, whose recordsetting defense in 2000 was coached by Lewis.
CHARGERS:
If he throws two or more touchdown passes Sunday, Philip Rivers will become the sixth NFL quarterback to do so in 10 straight games.
Cleveland:
Nick Chubb’s workload has increased from 16 touches over the first six games to 78 carries in the last month. He’s rushed for 406 yards during the latter stretch.
Denver:
QB Case Keenum, who has been booed by frustrated Broncos fans this season, said with no apparent irony, “I feel like I’ve got the best job in the world.”
Houston:
DeAndre Hopkins has four games with 10 or more catches, 100plus yards and at least one TD in the last two seasons, the most in the NFL during that stretch.
Indianapolis:
Andrew Luck needs one more 300-yard game — he has four this year — for an NFL-record 31 such games in a player’s first seven seasons.
Jacksonville:
Leonard Fournette rushed for 290 yards and five TDs in two games against the Steelers last year. Back from a hamstring injury last week, he had 29 touches.
Kansas City:
Chiefs fans didn’t know how to react after Patrick Mahomes revealed he likes ketchup on every- thing — even steak and macaroni and cheese.
Miami:
Frank Gore is the first player to rush for at least 500 yards in 14 straight seasons. Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton did it 13 years in a row.
New England:
With a six-yard reception last week, Tom Brady, 41, became the oldest player to catch a pass since Jerry Rice did it at age 42 during the 2004 season.
N.Y. Jets:
Coach Todd Bowles’ job appears to be safe, at least for now, despite losing four straight heading into their off week. He is 23-35 overall with the Jets.
Oakland:
Derek Carr has gone four straight games — since Oct. 7 against the Chargers — without having a pass picked off, the longest such streak of his five-year career.
Pittsburgh:
Ben Roethlisberger had five passes intercepted by Jacksonville in October 2017. Months later in the playoffs, he threw for five TDs against the Jaguars.
Tennessee:
Dion Lewis has a shot at hitting 2,000 career yards rushing and 1,000 receiving Sunday. He needs 20 yards rushing and 13 receiving to reach the milestones.
