Over the last four weeks, we have showed you that Brian Westbrook just may be in the middle of the best season by any running back in Eagles history. Here is our weekly update of how Westbrook's stats through the 11 games in which he has played project through the rest of the season against the Eagles' single-season leaders.

Westbrook was fantastic in a losing effort to Seattle, and amazingly his numbers have been so eye-popping so far this season that it was just, statistically, just another day at the office. As the Eagles get closer to the end of the season, Westbrook is entering the home stretch. Here's how he stands with four games remaining.
