Roob’s 10 Eagles Stats: The non-Saquon edition originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Even with all the insane Saquon Barkley stats going in a separate post – you can find that one here – we still have plenty of amazing stats, numbers and trends from the Eagles’ 28-3 win over the Giants to fill a 10 unbelievable non-Saquon stats post.
The way Saquon is playing, this may become a regular occurrence.
1. We’ll start off with some crazy defensive stats. The Eagles’ eight sacks equals the 9th-most in franchise history, but their 13 sacks over the last two weeks are the 2nd-most the Eagles have ever had in a two-game span. In 1991, they sacked Troy Aikman a franchise-record 11 times in a 24-0 win over the Cowboys at Texas Stadium and a week later they recorded three sacks of Bubby Brister in a 23-14 win over the Steelers at the Vet. Last time they had eight sacks was at Washington early in the 70-sack 2022 season, when they had nine. The eight sacks matches their most ever against the Giants – they’ve actually had eight six times now. It’s the most sacks the Giants have allowed in 14 years, since the Bears had 10 in a 17-3 win at MetLife in 2010.
2. The Eagles held the Giants to just 1.16 net yards per pass play, the lowest figure they’ve allowed in 23 years and 5th-lowest in franchise history. The last time they held a team to fewer yards per pass play was in 2001, when the Seahawks averaged just 0.68 net yards in a 27-3 Eagles win that was played at the University of Washington’s Husky Stadium in Seattle. In that game, Matt Hasselbeck threw 24 times for just 62 yards and was sacked seven times for 41 yards. That’s 21 net passing yards on 31 pass plays.
3. The Giants’ 119 yards of offense are the fewest against the Eagles since they held Washington to 89 yards in a 24-0 win at FedEx in 2018 and the 6th-fewest they’ve allowed since 1955. It was the Giants’ fewest yards against the Eagles in 71 years. They had 92 yards in a 30-7 loss at…
