BELL AMONG STEELERS BEST IN THREE RB Le’Veon Bell set a Steelers franchise record for the most yards from scrimmage by a rookie with 1,259 in 2013 - becoming the third rookie in team history to eclipse 1,000 yards from scrimmage.

WILLIAMS IN BLACK AND GOLD RB DeAngelo Williams led the NFL in rushing yards through the fi rst two weeks of the 2016 season with 237 yards on 58 carries (4.1 avg.) and two rushing touchdowns. Through the fi rst six games of 2016, Williams has totaled 275 rushing yards and 91 receiving yards for 366 yards from scrimmage. He led all NFL players with 143 rushing yards to go along with two rushing touchdowns and six catches for 28 yards in Week One at Washington to open up the 2016 season. In Week Two, Williams totaled a game-high 132 scrimmage yards (94 rushing and 38 receiving) with one receiving touchdown - his 39th career regular-season games with at least 100 scrimmage yards and eighth with Pittsburgh. Williams scored the 60th rushing touchdown of his NFL career on Sunday Night Football in Week Four vs. Kansas City to become the third active player in the NFL with at least 60 rushing scores (Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore).

WILLIAMS: 10,000 YARD MARK10,000

RB DeAngelo Williams eclipsed the 10,000 yards from scrimmage mark in Week Two of 2016 to become the 13th

active NFL player to hit the milestone.

JONES’ DEBUT FOR THE AGESQB Landry Jones led the Steelers to a 25-13 come-from-

behind victory in Week 6 vs. Arizona in 2015 after entering the game and seeing regular-season action for the fi rst time in his NFL career. In the game, Jones:

• Completed 8-of-12 passes for 168 yards with two touchdowns for a passer rating of 149.3.

• He connected with WR Martavis Bryant for both touchdowns, one coming from eight yards and the other from 88 yards. The 88-yard touchdown is tied for the eighth-longest pass play in team history.

• His 149.3 passer rating is the second-highest for an NFL quarterback in their fi rst career game (min. 10 attempts) behind only Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota’s 158.3 in 2015.

Jones made his fi rst career NFL start in Week 7 at Kansas City in 2015, and completed 16-of-29 passing for 209 yards with a touchdown.

In Week 9 vs. Oakland in 2015, Jones entered the game in relief of injured QB Ben Roethlisberger in the fourth quarter and completed 4-of-6 passes for 79 yards, including a 57-yarder to WR Antonio Brown to set up the game-winning fi eld goal.

Jones made his fi rst career home start in the regular season in Week 10 vs. Cleveland in 2015 and completed 3-of-4 passes for 23 yards before leaving the game in the fi rst quarter due to injury.

He became the eighth Steelers quarterback in the Super Bowl era to earn a win in his fi rst career home start. (Dennis Dixon: Sept. 12, 2010 vs. Atlanta, Charlie Batch: Nov. 13, 2005 vs. Cleveland, Ben Roethlisberger: Oct. 3, 2004 vs. Cincinnati, Tommy Maddox: Oct. 21 2002 vs. Indianapolis, Steve Bono: Oct. 18, 1987 vs. Indianapolis, Mark Kruczek: Oct. 17, 1976 vs. Cincinnati and Joe Gilliam: Sept. 15, 1974 vs. Baltimore).

WILLIAMS HITS 8,000 RUSHING YARDS8,000

RB DeAngelo Williams became the fi fth active NFL running back with at least 8,000 rushing yards during Week Three’s

game at Philadelphia.

WILLIAMS AMONG ACTIVES RB DeAngelo Williams has rushed for 8,028 yards on 1,706 rushing attempts and scored 60 rushing touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2006 (2006-14: Carolina and 2015-pres.: Pittsburgh).

HEYWARD AMONG THE STEEL DL DE Cameron Heyward set a single-game career-high with 3.0 sacks on Sunday Night Football vs. Kansas City in Week Four, marking his second career multi-sack game, and became just the fourth defensive end in team history to record at least 3.0 sacks in a single game (since sacks became an offi cial statistic in 1982), and fi rst since Ray Seals in 1994 (11/6 at Houston). Heyward has recorded fi ve sacks or more in each of the pre-vious three seasons (2013: 5.0, 2014: 7.5, 2015: 6.0) and joined Keith Willis (1983-86 and 1989-91) as the only Steelers defensive ends to record fi ve sacks in three consecutive seasons since sacks became an offi cial statistic in 1982. His 25.0 quarterback takedowns are tied as the fourth-most by a Steelers defensive lineman since 1982 and he is the seventh Steelers defensive lineman to reach 20 sacks with the team since sacks became an offi cial statistic in 1982.

It marked Gay’s fi fth consecutive interception return for a touchdown, setting a new NFL record, and his fi fth pick six with the Steelers, tying Rod Woodson for the most in team history:

HARRISON’S RETURN LB James Harrison, who announced his retirement on September 5, 2014 returned to the Steelers for a 12th season in the NFL in 2014 (11th with Pittsburgh: 2002, 2004-12 and 2013 with Cincinnati) and re-signed with the franchise on March 22, 2015. Harrison hauled in an interception in the fourth quarter on Kickoff Weekend at Washington – his eighth career interception and seventh as a Steeler - and forced a fumble in the fourth quarter of Week Two’s game vs. Cincinnati. Harrison ranks second in Steelers history with 74.5 quarterback sacks since the stat became offi cial in 1982, and his 18 multi-sack games are the most since 1982 by a Steeler:

MITCHELL IN THE BACKFIELD S Mike Mitchell is one of three Pittsburgh defenders with at least 30 total tackles in 2016 and has added two pass break-ups through the fi rst six games of the season. Mitchell made his 52nd consecutive regular-season at the Miami Dolphins in Week Six - the fi fth-longest active consecutive games played streak among NFL safeties.

SHAZIER ON THE INSIDE LB Ryan Shazier is one of eight on the Steelers’ defense with at least 20 combined tackles in 2016, including 12 solo stops, along with two passes defensed, a tackle for a loss, one forced fumble and an interception. In Week One on Monday Night Football at Washington, Shazier totaled 6 tackles (5 solo) and recorded his second career inter-ception in the third quarter, one play after forcing his third career forced fumble. Shazier led all defenders with a game-high 11 total tackles (5 solo), and a tackle for a loss in the team’s Week Two win vs. Cincinnati - his third career double-digit tackle game and fi rst of the season.

GAY’S MILESTONE AT 150 CB William Gay extended his consecutive regular-season games played streak to 150 in Week Six at Miami - the longest active consecutive games played streak among NFL cornerbacks.
