- Want to know why the Chargers are 2-9? Well, they have allowed 426 rushing yards in their past two games (Broncos and Bengals), and that includes a 16-year high of 225 set last weekend by the Bengals.
- This is the benefit of practicing against Randy Moss all year. The NFC's top three interception leaders play for the Vikings: safety Corey Chavous has eight, safety Brian Russell has six and cornerback Brian Williams has five.
- Since 2000, the Eagles are an NFL-best 24-5 in November and December, including 15-2 in November. During that span, the Eagles are a league-best 42-17.
- Last weekend, 12 games were decided by seven or fewer points, the most since 1993. All games were decided by 13 or fewer for the first time in history.
- For the first time since losing to the Bucs 17-0 in the season opener, the Eagles secondary will be at full strength today against Carolina. Free safety Brian Dawkins and cornerback Bobby Taylor, who have played in just two of the first 11 games, likely will play.
