The Daily Numbers: 10 straight games the Eagles have lost at Lincoln Financial Field.
0 touchdowns scored by the Giants, who still banked a 15-7 win.
5 field goals for kicker Josh Brown.
0 TDs score by Eagles offense in last 2 games.
14 years, how long it’s been since that happened.
3.4 yards per carry average in last 4 games for LeSean McCoy, whose game has followed the Eagles’ offense into the toilet.
8 catches for just 63 yards for DeSean Jackson, including a brutal mistake on a key 3rd down when instead of sticking his head in there and getting a first down, he cut back and wound up losing ground - and the chance to keep a drive alive.
6 turnovers for Eagles quarterbacks in the last 5 quarters.
1 game out of first place, where the anemic Birds continue to set since the Cowboys choked up another game to the Lions.
39 of 80 passing for Michael Vick in his last 4 starts.
27 yards for the Eagles offense in the 4 series with Vick at QB.
17 of 26 for 158 yards passing on the day for Barkley.
6 of 7 passing for Matt Barkley in his 1st series after coming in to relieve the ailing Vick. All that went out the window when he held the ball too long, was chased out of the pocket, and fumbled by the sideline, recovered by the Giants.
201 yards offense for the Birds.
21 points or less, what Eagles defense have held their foes to in the last 4 weeks.
48 yards on 15 carries for McCoy.
2 games behind the Cowboys, that would be where the Giants sit at 2-6, 1 game worse than the Eagles 3-5.
8 game road losing streak snapped by the Giants. The last Eagles win at home was against the Giants on Sept. 30 of last year.
0 interceptions thrown by Eli Manning for the 2nd straight week. He threw 15 in the first 6 games.
40, 44, 33, 46 and 27 yard field goals for Giants kicker Josh Brown.

This one’s on Kelly. The decision to hope for Vick to be healthy instead of committing to Barkley in the week blew up in his face. Instead he had 2 QBs who weren’t ready. Nearly as bad was that call on 1st and goal at the 2, not giving LeSean McCoy a couple of cracks, instead having Barkley throw.
I Don’t Get It: Raise your hand if you thought Vick was going to be fine going into this game? If we all saw it, what was Chip Kelly watching.
Today’s Upper: Kudos to the Eagles defense, which continues to get better every week.
