Andy Dalton:
#1 in the NFL in passing yards
#1 in yards per attempt (min. 100 attempts)
#3 in TD passes
#3 in QB rating
#2 in Total QBR (pointless awful stat, but there it is if you care)

Giovani Bernard:
#6 in rushing yards
#4 in yards per attempt

Jeremy Hill:
#2 in rushing TDs

A.J. Green:
#3 in receiving yards
#8 in yards after catch

Tyler Eifert:
#2 in receiving TDs (overall)
#4 in receiving yards (among TEs)

Kevin Huber:
#4 in net punting average
#6 in punts inside the 20

Carlos Dunlap:
#1 in sacks

Geno Atkins:
#2 in sacks (among DTs)

Vincent Rey:
#3 in combined tackles (as counted by ESPN)

I'm sure there are a bunch of others, but these are just what I saw at a glance.  A few of them surprised me.  Dalton might rank higher in total TDs if his rushing TDs are accounted for, I'm not sure.  I know that none of these numbers really means much of anything, but whatever it's just eye candy.

Note:  Phillip Rivers is close enough to Dalton in TD passes and passing yards that he could eclipse him in both tonight.

This is great stuff

Where is AD in QB rushing TD's so far?
