Inside the numbers

  • Antonio Gates has six TDs already and has scored in every game this year.
  • Dustin Keller has five TDs in his last three games.
  • Dallas Clark is averaging seven receptions per game.
  • Kevin Kolb struggled to get the ball to his WRs against Washington. He has a good rapport with Brent Celek and will use him as a safety net.
  • Brandon Pettigrew is averaging seven catches per game since Week 2.
  • Benjamin Watson has 11 catches for 107 yards and a score over the past two weeks.
