Philadelphia Eagles'
Stats Of The Week
The Giants gained 219 rushing yards against the Eagles 8th-ranked NFL
defense. It's the most the Eagles allowed at home in 15 years, since the
Cowboys had 271 in 1993. It;s also the most they've allowed in any game
since the Colts had 237 in 2006. Brian Westbrook only gained 26 rushing
yards on 13 carries, the 2nd fewest yards he's ever had on 13 or more
carries. Mike Patterson's 21-yd INT return was the longest by an Eagles
defensive tackle in 9 years, since Brandon Whiting had a 22-yarder after
an INT of Peyton Manning for a TD in the Colts' 44-17 win at the Vet
on Nov. 21, 1999. The Giants 36 points are the most they've scored
against the Eagles in their last 74 meetings. The last time they
scored more was Nov. 26, 1972, when they beat the Eagles 62-10,
at Yankee Stadium. It's the most points they ever scored in Philadelphia.
The previous high was 34 in a 34-25 win in 1968 at Franklin Field.
