The Daily Numbers: 6-2 mark for the Birds after a big win over the Texans yesterday.
2 key injuries in the process, as both QB Nick Foles and defensive QB linebacker Demeco Ryans went down.
4 weeks likely for Foles, who may have a broken collarbone; Ryans is out for the season with a torn Achilles.
15 of 22 for Mark Sanchez in relief of Foles.
2 TD tosses and 2 interceptions for Sanchez.
10 of 13 for Foles before he went down.
1 beautiful TD pass to Maclin and 1 ugly interception for the streaky Foles.
117 yards rushing on 23 carries for LeSean McCoy.
8 rushes for 50 yards for Chris Polk.
4 stright rushing plays that blew through the Texans for 70 yards in a key 2nd half drive.
184 yards rushing for the Eagles, who took control of the line of scrimmage after Todd Herremans, struggling with a torn biceps, was replaced by Andrew Gardner.
3 for 3, what Sanchez went in the red zone, something Foles has struggled with this year.
45 tackles for Demeco Ryans, the team leader in that category.
2 TDs and 158 yards with his 6 catches for Maclin.
3 TDs of 50 or more yards for Maclin this year.
4 game streak of rushing for 100 yards snapped for the Texans star Arian Foster yesterday. He left with an injury in the 2nd half.
0 Eagles who have had 4 consecutive 100-yard rushing games.
28-17 loss for the Cowboys to the Cardinals. That puts the Eagles lone in 1st place in NFC East.
43-21 victory for Tom Brady and Patriots over Peyton Manning and the Broncos.

The Eagles lost 2 QBs yesterday, 1 on offense, 1 on defense. The loss of linebacker Demeco Ryans will be harder to overcome.
I Don’t Get It: I still say LeSean McCoy just does not seem to have the same burst of speed he has shown in the past.
Today’s Upper: Kudos to Mark Sanchez, who starred in relief of Nick Foles and likely will take over the team for at least the next month.
