Since there are no more bye weeks for the remainder of the 2010 season (and every NFL team has played 9 games), it's probably a fair time to take a quick look at how the Eagles have fared in comparison to the rest of the NFL is some key team statistical categories:
| Offense | Eagles Rank | NFL Leader | NFL Loser |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Points | 2nd (257 points) | Patriots (258) | Panthers (104) |
| Total Yards per game | 3rd (400.2 yards per game) | Chargers (420.2) | Panthers (250.6) |
| Passing Yards per game | 9th (249.1 per game) | Chargers (312.4) | Panthers (156.8) |
| Rushing Yards per game | 3rd (151.1 per game) | Chiefs (165.3) | Broncos (76.8) |
| Defense | Eagles Rank | NFL Leader | NFL Loser |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Points | 22nd (209 points) | Packers (143) | Cardinals (261) |
| Total Yards per game | 11th (325 yards per game) | Giants (270.2) | Redskins (415.3) |
| Passing Yards per game | 16th (221 yards per game) | Saints (166.3) | Texans (301.3) |
| Rushing Yards per game | 12th (104 yards per game) | Steelers (63.2) | Bills (166.9) |
| Sacks | 6th (tied with 26) | Packers (28) | Buccaneers (8) |
| Interceptions | 1st (16) | (Falcons are second with 14) | Bills (2) |
| Offense/Defense | Eagles Rank | NFL Leader | NFL Loser |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turnover differential | 1st (+12) | (Falcons are second with +9) | Vikings (-11) |
| Point differential | 6th (+48) | Packers (+78) | Panthers (-111) |
| Time of Possession per game | 9th (31:55 per game) | Giants (34:54) | Cardinals (26:02) |
The offensive numbers are pretty easily explained - It's an explosive offense that's putting up big numbers both in the passing game and the running game. Really not much more to say than that. Michael Vick is clearly a serious candidate for MVP of the NFL, and the weapons he has around him are incredibly fast and dynamic.
The defensive side of the ball is a little more interesting - While the yardage and point total numbers aren't impressive, the Eagles are dong a fantastic job getting pressure on the QB and creating turnovers. They're 1st in the NFL in interceptions (16) 1st in turnover differential (+12), and 6th in sacks (26).
