In this week’s Roob’s Eagles Stats: The arduous search for something positive originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Have you ever tried coming up with 10 positive stats off a 42-19 loss?
Can’t be done.
But I didn’t want to make this week’s Roob’s Eagles Stats piece all about how badly the Eagles got blown out by the 49ers Sunday, so we’ll start out with a bunch of stats that won’t make you sick – and trust me, they weren’t easy to find. And then we’ll finish up with a few maybe not so positive.
Seem fair? OK, here we go.
1. With five games to go, A.J. Brown tied a franchise record with his seventh 100-yard game this year. The only other Eagle with seven 100-yard games in a season was Terrell Owens in 2004. Tyreek Hill, with eight, is the only receiver with more 100-yard games this year. Brown now has 12 100-yard performances as an Eagle. That’s already 11th-most in Eagles history in just 28 games. Brown’s 1,164 yards so far are most in franchise history through 12 games. T.O. had 1,130 in 2004. Brown’s 81 catches are 2nd-most by an Eagle through 12 games. Zach Ertz had 93 in 2018.
2. Brown is on pace for 114 catches, 1,649 yards and nine TDs, and DeVonta Smith is on pace for 90 catches, 1,181 yards and eight TDs. Only eight teams in NFL history have had two receivers the same season with at least 90 catches, 1,150 yards and eight TDs, most recently both the Packers and Broncos in 2014 – Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas for Denver and Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson with the Packers.
3. With one rushing touchdown and one passing touchdown, Jalen Hurts reached 100 total touchdowns as a starter in his 46th career start. Only six quarterbacks in NFL history have gotten to 100 total TDs – rushing and passing combined – in fewer starts:
39 starts … Patrick Mahomes [97 passing, 6 rushing]
43 starts … Dan Marino [99 passing, 2 rushing]
44 starts … Deshaun Watson [85 passing, 15 rushing]
45 games … Kurt Warner [99 passing, 1…
