In Roob’s Eagles Stats: Historic pass defense and Nick Foles loses a record originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Nick Foles loses a franchise record, the Eagles continue playing elite pass defense and something that’s never happened to Mike Tomlin before.
All that — plus a generous dollop of Jalen Hurts stats and lots more — in this week’s edition of Roob’s Eagles Stats.
This team is a stat lover’s dream, and we’re here for it.
1. Let’s talk pass defense
The Eagles have allowed an average of 147.9 net passing yards during their 10-game winning streak. That’s the fewest passing yards they’ve allowed in any 10-game span (within the same season) since Week 6 through Week 16 of the 1991 season, when they allowed 142.3 per game. The Eagles are the first team since the Super Bowl-champion 1975 Steelers to allow fewer net passing yards during a 10-game winning streak. The Eagles have allowed 225 or fewer net passing yards in 10 consecutive games, their longest streak since an 11-game run in 1974.
2. Smashing a Nick Foles record
LeSean McCoy isn’t the only Eagle to lose an all-time franchise record lately. Nick Foles lost one on Sunday. Foles finished his Eagles career with a passer rating of 93.2. Jalen Hurts came into the Steelers game with a passer rating of 93.1, but with 25-for-32 for 290 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, he raised his career rating to 93.6 and replaced Foles atop the Eagles’ all-time passer rating leader board. Hurts came into the season at 91.9 and he actually dropped as low as 90.7 going into the bye. But he raised his rating to 91.2 after the Browns game, 91.5 after the Giants, 91.9 after the Bengals, 92.5 after the Jaguars, 92.7 after the Cowboys and Commanders, 92.8 after the Rams, 92.9 after the Ravens, 93.1 after the Panthers and now 93.6 after the Steelers. Hurts ranked 27th in NFL history coming into the season but is now tied for 21st with Josh Allen.
