The Daily Numbers for Monday, Sept. 14

The Daily Numbers: 60, age of NBA Hall of Famer and Sixers great Moses Malone, who died yesterday. Gone way too young.

3 great Sixers we’ve lost this year. Caldwell Jones and Darryl Dawkins also left us too soon.

2 local heroes honored with casket flag-raising ceremonies Sunday at the Delaware County Veterans Memorial. Great tributes for Jason McClay and Steve Neri.

1 victim sent to hospital after shooting in Darby Borough.

17, age of teen killed in Bucks County crash; 3 passengers were injured.

2nd term officially being sought now by U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey. The Republican announced his candidacy Sunday.

1 person killed, 180 homes destroyed by wildfires still raging across California.

31, age of Kentucky state trooper who was shot and killed overnight.

1, as in Game 1 tonight for the Eagles as they hit prime time in a Monday night matchup with the Falcons in Atlanta.

7:10 kickoff for the 1st of 2 Monday night games.

18 of 27 for 297 yards and 0 picks for Nick Foles, in leading Rams to stunning win over Seattle.

17 carries for just 41 yards for LeSean McCoy, as his new team the Bills beat the Colts.

13 of 16 and 4 TD passes for Marcus Mariota in 42-14 rout of the Buccaneers.

27-26 win for the Cowboys over the Giants Sunday night, although they lost Dez Bryant for a month with a broken foot.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan. Sure, Nick Foles had a good day yesterday. I’ll still take Sam Bradford any day. Of course, if that left knee blows up again I reserve the right to revise that opinion.

I Don’t Get It: Incredibly, the Sixers have lost another icon. The ‘Chairman of the Boards,’ Moses Malone died Sunday. He was only 60.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Eagles Fever. We can now put the Phillies and a summer of angst behind us. All together now: E-A-G-L-E-S!

Quote Box: “I feel your pride and your pain. I admire you and your family for your strength.

- Dennis Murphy, to family of slain CVS manager and veteran Jason McClay during service at Delco Veterans Memorial.
