3. STATISTICS YOU NEED TO KNOW
We're six games into the season and the facts and figures of the campaign will change, but here are some numbers you can gnaw on as you count down the minutes until Sunday's kickoff against Dallas ...
• NFC East QBs have posted a combined 66.6 quarterback rating against the Eagles defense, completing just 54 of 101 passes (53.5%), while throwing 5 interceptions ... The Eagles defense has also limited NFC East teams to 127 rush yards on 35 attempts (3.6 ypc) and an average of just 63.5 yards per game
• The Eagles rank t-4th in the NFL with 38 total points scored off of 10 defensive takeaways
• This is just the 4th team in NFL history to accumulate at least 1,800 passing and 1,200 rushing yards through the first seven games of the season - 1951 LA Rams (1,933 pass; 1,265 rush); 1954 LA Rams (1,888 pass; 1,314 rush); 2011 Philadelphia Eagles (1,886 pass; 1,259 rush); 2013 Philadelphia Eagles (1,628 pass; 1,071 rush – 6 games)
4. WHAT THE COWBOYS ARE SAYING ...
Meanwhile, in Irving, Texas the Cowboys are weighing in on the Eagles' quarterback situation. Will Michael Vick get the start on Sunday? Or will it be Nick Foles? One player expressed his preference for Foles.
"I would like to see Foles," said Cowboys defensive tackle Jason Hatcher. "Vick is like a rabbit. He's all over the place. Foles is more like a stationary guy in the pocket. Both of them are awesome quarterbacks. Foles is playing his butt off these last couple of games. Either one, but I would take Foles over Vick. Foles can throw it. It's going to be a challenge either way."
Head coach Jason Garrett said that both Vick and Foles present challenges.
"I think they're both good quarterbacks, and I think they've proven that over their careers, and I think they've proven that in this offense," said Garrett. "They've both been productive. Again, they do it a little bit differently. You don't see Foles make the dynamic plays with his feet that Michael Vick has become known for, but Michael Vick can throw the ball from the pocket, he can make those plays, and Nick Foles shows he can move the ball around the field. He's a mature quarterback. He showed that last year in the time that he played and he's certainly shown that this year in the couple chances he's had to play."
