Chicago Tribune (Sunday)

AFC FROM A TO Z

-

Bengals

They are 8-25 against the Steelers under Marvin Lewis and have lost 10 of 11, including in Week 6 when Antonio Brown scored with :10 left.

Bills

Josh Allen is the first Bills quarterbac­k to throw for more than 200 yards in five straight games since Tyrod Taylor from Nov. 30-Dec. 20, 2015.

Broncos

Bradley Chubb has 12 sacks and needs 2½ more to tie the NFL rookie record of 14½, set by the Titans’ Javon Kearse in 1999.

Browns

They need a victory Sunday against the host Ravens to secure their first winning season since 2007 and only their fourth in the last 26 seasons.

Chargers

A win Sunday would be the Chargers’ sixth straight on the road — the longest road winning streak in franchise history since the merger.

Chiefs

DE Chris Jones has a sack in an NFLrecord 11 consecutiv­e games. He has 15½ on the season while LB Dee Ford has 12 and six forced fumbles.

Colts

Andrew Luck looks to become the first player to go 11-0 against one team since 1970 in this week’s matchup against the Titans.

Dolphins

Playing the Bills in December isn’t ideal for the Dolphins, who are 1-6 on the road this season and have lost five of their last six at Buffalo.

Jaguars

They have taken two of the last three against the Texans. Yannick Ngakoue had two sacks, forced two fumbles and recovered one last time.

Jets

Rookie Sam Darnold threw for a careerhigh 341 yards and 3 TDs last week. He’s looking for his third straight game with 2plus TD passes and no INTs.

Patriots

They are trying to finish 8-0 at home in the regular season for the seventh time since 2002. No other teams are undefeated at home this year.

Raiders

They have allowed an opposing QB to throw for 300 yards only once — Phillip Rivers in Week 5. Patrick Mahomes had 295 in Week 13.

Ravens

Lamar Jackson’s 5-1 record in his first six starts is tied for third-best in NFL history. He is 37 yards behind Gus Edwards for the team rushing lead.

Steelers

Ben Roethlisbe­rger set franchise records for completion­s and TD passes. His 4,842 yards rank first, and he would be the first Steeler to lead the league.

Texans

With a half-sack against the Jaguars, J.J. Watt can become the second player since 1982 with four or more seasons with 15-plus sacks.

Titans

They have allowed 28 TDs, fewest in the NFL. Derrick Henry leads the league in rushing yards (532) and rushing TDs (eight) in December.
