Stat of the week No. 1: On Sunday, Dallas becomes the fifth metropolitan area to host a World Series and a Super Bowl in the same “season” (Tampa – 2008, Atlanta – 1999, Minneapolis – 1991, Los Angeles – 1966).
Stat of the week No. 2: Five of the past six teams to reach the Super Bowl -- Green Bay this year, New Orleans and Indianapolis last year, Pittsburgh and Arizona the year before – did not have a 1,000 rusher.
Stat of the week No. 3: The Packers’ and Steelers’ offenses have allowed a combined 95 sacks, about the same amount as allowed by New Orleans, New England, Indianapolis and Atlanta combined.
Stat of the week No. 4: Green Bay’s six regular-season losses were by a combined 20 points.
Stat of the week No. 5: Since the start of the 2009 season, the Steelers are 16-4 when Troy Polamalu plays and 6-8 when he doesn’t.
Bonus stat of the week: 5,082 members of the media were accredited to cover Super Bowl XLV and related events, which is the most in SB history.
