Bell in Range of Top 5 in SacksRinging the Bell – Beau Bell has put on a season for the ages in 2017. The Defensive Player of the Year candidate has a league-leading 10 sacks heading into Week 16. Should Bell return to the lineup after missing Week 14's win over the Washington Valor, he'll have a chance to etch his name into Philadelphia Soul history. Bell is one sack shy from the franchise record for sacks in a season held by Bryan Robinson (11, 2013), and he's two sacks shy from moving into the top five in AFL history in sacks.
Most Sacks in AFL History
Sam Hernandez: 60
Mike Lewis: 59
Joe Sykes: 53.5
Jermaine Smith: 51
James Baron: 50
Tom Briggs: 49
Beau Bell: 48
Benson Bulling Way To 1,500 – There aren't many in AFL history who have rushed for at least 1,500 yards – four men, to be exact. Mykel Benson is right on the verge of becoming the fifth. With 10 yards, Benson will reach the coveted 1,500-yard mark for his career, and with 24 yards, he'll hop into fourth place all-time on the career rushing list in AFL history.
Most Rushing Yards in AFL History
Derrick Ross: 3,245
Bernard Morris: 1,705
Bo Kelly: 1,571
Bob McMillen: 1,514
Mykel Benson: 1,490
More Marks for T.T. – T.T. Toliver has come on strong at the end of the season for the Valor, and in doing so, he's kept his team in the playoff race. Toliver had his best game as a member of the Valor in Week 16, amassing six receptions for 113 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winning score. Toliver, who already owns the records for the most career receptions, receiving yards and all-purpose yards in AFL history, can reach some big accolades between now and the end of the campaign. He needs 75 all-purpose yards to become the first man in AFL history to amass 22,000 yards in his career, and he's eight points shy of moving into fourth place all-time on the AFL's scoring list.
Most Points Scored in AFL History
Barry Wagner: 2,490
Damian Harrell: 2,172
Eddie Brown: 2,076
Chris Jackson: 2,052
T.T. Toliver: 2,044
No Gray Areas Here – Reggie Gray continues to be one of the most dominant wide receivers in the AFL. He is hoping to clinch up a playoff spot for his Baltimore Brigade in Week 17 against Philadelphia. Gray is currently tied for the 12th most receiving touchdowns in the history of the AFL, and he has a good chance this week to move into 16th all-time in career receptions as well.

Carden's Continues Assault on Rookie Records – When the dust settles on Shane Carden's rookie season, it'll go down as one of the most accomplished in the history of the AFL. Carden won't ultimately run down Nick Davila for the most passing yards in a rookie season (4,858), but Davila played in 16 games in the 2010 season, while Carden is effectively playing in 13.5. Already, Carden has the 16th most passing yards for a rookie in AFL history, and he still has two games to continue to move up the ladder.
Most Passing Yards By a Rookie in AFL History
12: Jeff Smoker: 3,466
13: Tommy Maddox: 3,378
14: Adrian McPherson: 3,297
15: Sonny Cumbie: 3,241
16: Shane Carden: 3,124
