Single Digits, Eagles Training Camp Edition

♦ Nick Foles threw his only two interceptions last season in back-to-back games. In between (covering a little over five quarters), he was 24-for-39 (61.5%) for 356 yards and one touchdown.
♦ No fewer than four non-QBs listed on the Eagles’ training camp roster played quarterback in high school: WR Josh Huff, T Lane Johnson, LB Marcus Smith II and DB Jaylen Watkins.
♦ Guard Evan Mathis has been on the field for 120 of the Eagles’ last 121 offensive touchdowns.
♦ The Eagles and Panthers (each 7-1) had the best records in the NFL over their final eight games of 2013.
♦ LeSean McCoy’s 217 rushing yards against the Lions last season was a single-game franchise record. Just his 148 rushing yards in the fourth quarter of that game would have tied for the 26th best “game” in team history.
♦ Nick Foles had more rushing yards than the opposing quarterback in 7 of his 10 regular season starts in 2013.
♦ Of the 90 players that attended Andy Reid’s final training camp in 2012, only 25 were around for Chiop Kelly’s second training camp in 2014.
♦ Michael Vick started 40 games at quarterback in his Eagles’ career. The Birds were 20-20 in those games.
♦ Most points in the NFL over the final eight regular season games of 2013: Eagles 266, Patriots 265, Broncos 263.
♦ Only two franchises have gone longer than the Eagles (1960) since their last NFL title: Cardinals (1947) and Lions (1957). (Note: The Vikings won 1969 NFL title before losing in Super Bowl IV, the last one before the merger.)
♦ The 53 plays the Eagles ran in the first half of their first game of the Chip Kelly era was the most they would run in any half all season.
