38 Since Caleb Porter's debut as Timbers head coach at the beginning of the 2013 season, Portland has recorded 38 shutouts in regular-season matches. Only Sporting Kansas City has more in that timespan with 39.

68Midfielder Diego Chara leads the club with 68 tackles (second in MLS) while defender Zarek Valentin has 51 tackles for the season, which is the 11th highest total in the league respectively. The Timbers are one of only two MLS teams with multiple players with 50 or more tackles in 2016, along with Sporting Kansas City.
3With a strong performance in a scoreless draw against the New York Red Bulls on Sunday, goalkeeper Jake Gleeson was named to the MLS Team of the Week for Week 18. Gleeson has been named to the Team of the Week on three different occasions this season, which is the most of any Timbers player.
