2018 NFL Divisional Round: 10 fast facts for Steelers v Jaguars

Ben Roethlisberger said he would love to prove the five interceptions he threw against the Jaguars in a 30-9 loss in week five was a fluke. He gets his chance to show just that when the Pittsburgh Steelers face Jacksonville in the NFL AFC divisional round on Sunday.

Jacksonville looked like the better team that week, but after that loss the Steelers won 10 of their last 11 games with the only defeat coming at the hands of reigning Super Bowl champions the New England Patriots on a controversial no-catch call in the final minutes.

The Steelers are good but the Jaguars' defense is more than formidable. Jacksonville cornerback A.J. Bouye warned Roethlisberger to "be careful what he wished for" because the Jags are back to prove what they did was not an accident.

Opta dove deep into the books to find 10 stats for Sunday's game. Here they are:
