Stats of the week

On a weekly basis, I will bring you a few interesting tidbits from around the NFL:

Stat of the week No. 1: On the first seven third and long situations (7 yards to go or longer) of his NFL career, Mark Sanchez was seven of seven, with five first down conversions.

Stat of the week No. 2: In his last 22 series, Jake Delhomme has thrown nine interceptions and lost two fumbles. In 2008, three quarterbacks played complete seasons and turned it over less than Delhomme has done in the last seven quarters: Jason Campbell – seven turnovers in 553 combined passes/rushes, Kerry Collins – eight turnovers in 440 combined passes/rushes and Chad Pennington – eight turnovers in 506 combined passes/rushes.

Stat of the week No. 3: Baltimore, which surrendered only 29 yards rushing against Kansas City, has not allowed a 100-yard rusher since 2006.

Stat of the week No. 4: Cleveland has two offensive touchdowns in its past seven games.

Stat of the week No. 5: Two years ago on MNF, Buffalo lost to Dallas 25-24 by giving up nine points in the final minute; yesterday on MNF, Buffalo lost to New England 25-24 by giving up 12 points in the final two minutes.
