Crazy numbers on the way – NBC Sports Philadelphia

On Monday we put together a weekly collection of absurd Saquon Barkley stats. So this is the non-Saquon version of Roob’s Eagles stats. And even without the jaw-dropping Saquon numbers, there’s still plenty of good stuff.

The Eagles’ road dominance, Jalen Hurts’ consistency, huge yardage gains, Nick Sirianni’s win-loss record and much more this week.

1A. First team in over 30 years: Not only have the Eagles won seven straight times, they have outrebounded their opponents by at least 100 yards in all seven games. They are the first NFL team to outrebound opponents by 100 or more yards in seven consecutive seasons since the Steelers in 1993. The only longer streak in NFL history belongs to the 1942 Bears, who outgained ten teams in a row by 100 or more yards. The only other teams to do this are the 1949 Eagles and the 1975 Vikings. The Eagles have outrebounded their last four opponents by at least 170 yards, ranking them 2ndnd– Longest streak ever behind the 1949 Eagles, who outgained seven consecutive teams by at least 170 yards. The only other teams in the last 50 years with four straight games with a gain of over 170 yards are the 2011 Texans and the 2019 49ers.

1B. Huge Yard Margin: In the last seven games, the Eagles have outrebounded their opponents by 1,260 yards, their largest seven-game margin since 1954. And in the last four games, they have outrebounded their opponents by 795 yards, also their largest margin since 1954.

1C. Destroy your opponents: The Eagles are already the first team since the Chargers in 2010 to outscore six different opponents by at least 170 yards. With six games left, the Eagles already have the 7thTh– In most games a season, a team’s lead is 170 or more. The 1949 Eagles hold the record with nine such games and the 1968 Raiders had eight.

1D. Insane Yard Clearance: Overall, the Eagles outgained their first 11 opponents by 1,259 yards, their largest yardage gain in 11 games since 1953, when they outgained their first 11 opponents by 1,693 yards.

2. Blow Up Teams on the Street: After wins by 25 points over the Giants at MetLife, the Bengals by 20 points at Paul Brown Stadium, the Cowboys by 28 points at AT&T and the Rams by 17 points at SoFi, the Eagles have outscored their last four road opponents by 90 points. They are the 12th team in the last 50 years to win four straight away games by a total of 90 points, and it is the first time they have won four straight away games by a total of 90 or more points in the same season. In the 1949 and 1950 seasons, they won four straight road games by a total of 113 points – 38-7 in Pittsburgh, 44-21 in Washington and 24-3 in New York in 1949 and 45-7 in Chicago against the Cardinals in 1950 .

3A. More good stuff from Hurts: With a passer rating of 108.0 against the Rams, this was Jalen Hurts’ sixth game this year with a rating of 108.0 or higher. With six games remaining, that’s just one shy of the franchise record of seven shared by Donovan McNabb in 2004 and Nick Foles in 2013. In total, Hurts now has 20 career games with a rating of 108 or higher. Only McNabb (29) had more in Eagles history.

3B. Piling up the wins: Hurts now has a 43-19 win-loss record as the starting quarterback. Only 12 QBs in history have won more games in their first 62 starts, and that group includes Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Roger Staubach, Russell Wilson, Dan Marino, Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger.

3C. Getting into the end zone: Hurts had 132 touchdowns — 80 passes and 52 runs — in his first 62 starts. Only six quarterbacks in NFL history have scored more touchdowns in their first 62 starts: Patrick Mahomes, 157 (149, 8), Dan Marino, 156 (154, 2), Aaron Rodgers, 147 (131, 16), Josh Allen , 142 (110, 32), Daunte Culpepper, 135 (108, 27) and Deshaun Watson, 133 (114, 19).

4A. I hammer on the stone: The Eagles are the first team with 22 rushing touchdowns in 11 games since LaDainian Tomlinson and the 2006 Chargers, who had 24. Over the past 45 years, the Cowboys have been the only other team with more than 22 rushing touchdowns in 11 games with Emmitt in 1995. That’s the most the Eagles have had since the 1949 NFL championship team had 24 after Week 11. The Eagles are the first team with 22 rushing TDs and a rushing average of over 5.0 yards per carry in 11 games since the 1958 Browns.

4B. Hammering the Stone II: The Eagles’ 409 rushing attempts are the most of any NFL team through 11 games since the Steelers had 438 in 2004. The only other team with more since 1988 was the 1996 Bills, who had 422.

5. History of Winning Streaks: The Eagles’ current seven-game winning streak is the eighth in franchise history with seven or more games (single-season streaks only). The Eagles also won eight times in a row in 2022. This makes Nick Sirianni only the second coach in franchise history and the first in 75 years to oversee two winning streaks of at least seven games. Greasy Neale’s Eagles won eight straight in 1948 and 1949, winning the NFL championship in both seasons. The longest winning streaks in franchise history were nine games in 1960, 2003 and 2017. The Eagles have had more winning streaks of at least seven games since 2003 than they did from 1933 to 2002.

6. Kenny G. moves up the list: Kenny Gainwell’s 13-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter was the 12thTh of his career, putting him in one of the fastest rushing touchdowns in NFL history – a player with three or fewer starts. Najeh Davenport had 13 rushing TDs with the Packers, Steelers and Colts from 2002 to 2008. Davenport and Gainwell both have three career starts under their belts. Gainwell is also up to 1,114 career rushing yards, 11thTh-most among players with three or fewer career starts.

7. On land and on water: With 2,127 rushing yards and a passer rating of 101.6, the Eagles are only the third team in NFL history with more than 2,000 rushing yards And a passer rating of over 100 after 11 games. The others are the 1971 Dolphins (2,080 rushing yards, 100.7 passer rating) and the 2019 Ravens (2,316, 110.4). The 2019 Ravens and 2024 Eagles are the only teams in history to have 2,100 yards in both rushing and passing after 11 games. Only five teams have averaged 7.5 yards per passing attempt and 5.2 yards per rushing attempt in 11 games since 1966. Two of them are the 2024 Eagles and Ravens, who meet on Sunday in Baltimore.

8. Let’s not forget AJ: AJ Brown’s 16Th 100-yard performance in just his 45thTh This game moved him past Fred Barnett as an Eagle and into sixth place on the Eagles’ all-time 100-yard receiver list. He trails only Pete Retzlaff (23), Harold Carmichael (21), Mike Quick (21), DeSean Jackson (21) and Tommy McDonald (17). Since joining the Eagles in 2022, only Justin Jefferson (18) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (17) have more 100-yard games than Brown. With 15.5 yards per catch and 78.5 yards per game in his career, Brown is now one of only three players in NFL history to average over 75 yards per game and over 15 yards per catch. The others are Hall of Famer Lance Alworth (18.9, 75.7) and Calvin Johnson (15.9, 86.1).

9. Crazy Rushing Margins: In their last six games, the Eagles have rushed for 1,396 yards and allowed just 476 rushing yards. There have only been four larger six-game rushing margins since 1953: the Ravens in 2018 and 2020, the Steelers in 1976 and the Rams in 1973. The 920-yard margin is the Eagles’ largest since they outrebounded six opponents by 1,079 yards in 1949. The Eagles have outrebounded opponents by at least 90 yards on six consecutive occasions, something only three other teams in NFL history have accomplished, including this year’s Ravens.

10. Climb even higher: Nick Sirianni climbed from 8th place with another win on SundayTh-Highest winning percentage in NFL history through 6Th-Highest value among head coaches who have coached for at least four years. Sirianni started the weekend 42-19, which is .689. With the win, he improved to .694, passing Blanton Collier, who coached the Browns in the 1960s, and moving into a tie with Tommy Hughitt, who coached the Buffalo All-Americans in the 1920s. And then on Monday night, he moved up another spot as the Ravens beat the Chargers and John Harbaugh fell from .696 to .680. This means Sirianni now has the 5Th-best win-loss record of any head coach in NFL history, behind only four Hall of Famers: Guy Chamberlin (.784 in the 1920s), John Madden (.759 with the Raiders in the 1970s), Vince Lombardi ( .738 with the Packers in the 1960s) and George Allen (.712 with the Rams and Washington in the 1960s and 1970s).
