Fun off-the-wall statistics from Eagles Week 10 win over the Dallas Cowboys
As quickly as it came, it ended. There were rough moments during the first half of the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys game. Then, it happened. Our Birds rebound and kick major arse during the final offensive drive of the first half. The hits kept coming during the second.
Vic Fangio's defense made our bold predictions look good. The Cowboys were shut out during the final two quarters and limited to 146 total yards.
We can dig it! Football was fun in Week 10. Here are a few numbers you won't find on the stat sheet, but we think you'll probably enjoy re4ading them.
Jalen Hurts extends his own record.
No Eagles signal-caller in franchise history has notched more games with a passing AND rushing TD than Jalen Hurts. In Week 9, QB1 passed Donovan McNabb who accomplished that feat 21 times. Jalen has extended his record to 23 games with two more rushing TDs and two passing TDs on Sunday.
Cooper DeJean allowed four yards receiving on three pass completions.
There isn't much else that needs to be said here, other than these rookie Eagles corners are amazing. They perform like they've been playing professionally for five seasons.
Quinyon Mitchell plays on an island constantly with no help and succeeds. Cooper DeJean allowed three completions for four yards receiving vs. the Dallas Cowboys.
How does that even happen?
Thanks to this loss, the Cowboys currently rank 29th in point differential.
We have absolutely no issues with kicking the Cowboys when they're down. Remember the season finale during the 2021-22 season? Dallas ran up the score by pumping out 51 points during a game the Eagles weren't trying to win.
Thanks to this loss, the Cowboys' season might be over. They also now rank 29th in the NFL in point differential. The only teams trailing them are the Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders, and Carolina Panthers.
The Eagles have scored 33 points of turnovers since Week 8.
This is kind of cool. These past three weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles have scored 33 points off forced turnovers. That ranks first in the NFL over that span.
One of those turnovers was forced by someone who we've been waiting to make an impact. It was nice to see him enjoy a memorable moment.
Bryce Huff checks in with a sack and forced fumble.
It's hard to hide when one of the most popular brands in all of professional sports signs you to a three-year, $51.1 million contract. It doesn't help that the contract included $16.125 million and a guaranteed $34 million signing bonus.
Saying Philly hasn't received the proper return on their investment is an understatement. We've even seen him spend extended time on the sideline.
So, it was nice to see him enjoy his moment in this one. He cracked the stat sheet with a solo tackle for loss, a sack/forced fumble, and an additional hit on the quarterback.
Check this one out.
Bonus: Kenny Pickett enjoyed a perfect 100% conversion rate on Brotherly Shove attempts.
Did you see that Brotherly Shove attempt and that smile on Kenny Pickett's face following its conversion. Yes, we know that had NOTHING to do with Philly winning this game. We just wanted you to know how happy this made us.
We're going to enjoy this for a few more hours before moving on to the Commanders.
Eagles come ten points short of the most famous score in the Eagles vs. Cowboys rivalry.
Say the numbers 44 and six in succession, and you won't find a Birds fan walking that doesn't know what you mean. Even now, a smile creeps across my face while I'm typing this.
As the game wore on, we noticed there was a chance that this one could end with an identical score. It wasn't meant to be, but we won't complain. 34-6 sounds pretty damn awesome too!
