The numbers are in. All but one or two, that is.
RB Chris Johnson, with Curtis Martin's 28 off limits, finally settled on 21. And three touchdowns are almost as good as four.
But who lost No. 21? That was CB Ellis Lankster, who jumped up 10 to No. 31. (Would that have anything to do with honoring Antonio Cromartie? We don't know.)
And Jeremy Reeves, who had been 31, moved to 41 in this game of musical uniforms.

Punter Ryan Quigley, who passed on his No. 1 to Michael Vick, announced his decision to take No. 4 just a few moments ago.

Also, in case anyone missed it, the new No. 10 at WR is Clyde Gates, whose 19 from last year is now being worn by free agent WR Jacoby Ford.
Top draft pick Calvin Pryor has tweeted that he's not going with 25, his number as Louisville's hard-hitting safety, but with 35. We have not announced Pryor's number officially yet. RB Alex Green wore No. 25 last year.
