When Joe Flacco makes his first start for the Bengals, he will join Ryan Fitzpatrick as the only QBs since 2002 realignment to start for 3 teams in the same division. Flacco also started for Browns and Ravens. Fitzpatrick started for Jets, Bills and Dolphins

Andy Reid's 18 losses (playoffs included) in games his team led by 14+ points are most for any coach in NFL history. Next highest is 12 (Chuck Knox, Don Shula, Dan Reeves).

Reid's .910 win % in those games ranks 57th out of 66 coaches with 50+ leads of 14+ points
