WENTZ SETS NEW EAGLES RECORD

• Carson Wentz has established a new single-season franchise record with a career-high 33 passing TDs, breaking the previous mark of 32 set by Sonny Jurgensen in 1961.

• Wentz’s 33 passing TDs are tied with Daunte Culpepper in 2000 (33) for the 4th-most ever by an NFL QB in his first or second year, behind Dan Marino in 1984 (48), Kurt Warner in 1999 (41) and Blake Bortles in 2015 (35).

• Wentz (33-7) is just the third QB in NFL history to throw 33+ TDs and no more than 7 INTs through 13 games, joining Tom Brady in 2015 (33-6) and 2007 (45-5) and Aaron Rodgers in 2014 (35-3) and 2011 (39-6).

• Wentz has recorded the 2nd-most 4+ passing TD games (4) in Eagles single-season history, trailing only Donovan McNabb in 2004 (5). Wentz’s 6 games with 3+ passing TDs are tied with Norm Snead in 1967 for the most such games in Eagles single-season history.

• Wentz has thrown 1+ TD and no more than 1 INT in 15 consecutive games, which is tied for the 6th-longest streak by an NFL QB since 1950, trailing only Matt Ryan (21 games, 12/20/15-9/17/17), Aaron Rodgers (19 games, 12/26/10-9/13/12), Vinny Testaverde (19 games, 11/30/97-9/17/00), Steve Young (17 games, 10/9/94-10/15/95) and Trent Green (16 games, 11/1/98-11/26/00).

FOLES LEADS COMEBACK

• Nick Foles relieved an injured Carson Wentz and engineered his 7th career game-winning drive and 6th career fourth-quarter comeback. Foles finished the game 6-of-10 for 42 yards.

TOUCHDOWNS BY TIGHT ENDS

• Despite missing Zach Ertz on Sunday, tight ends accounted for 3 of Philadelphia’s 4 receiving TDs. Each of those 3 TDs came during the first half when the Eagles scored 21 unanswered points on 3 consecutive scoring drives.

• Trey Burton, who now has a career-high 4 receiving TDs this season, caught TDs of 20 and 11 yards to record his first career multi-TD game. Burton became the first undrafted Eagle with 2+ receiving TDs in a single game since Greg Lewis on 11/25/07 at New England (2 TDs). Burton finished the game with a career-high 71 receiving yards.

• Brent Celek caught his 31st career TD on a 5-yard pass from Carson Wentz in the first quarter to tie the game, 7-7, marking his first receiving TD since 11/26/15 at Detroit (2-yard TD).

MORE FROM THE GAME

• Alshon Jeffery caught a 2-yard TD from Carson Wentz in the third quarter to put the Eagles on top by a 31-28 score. Jeffery now leads the Eagles with 8 receiving TDs, his most in a single season since catching a career-high 10 TDs with Chicago in 2014. Jeffery has now combined for 6 receiving TDs in his last 6 games.

• Brandon Graham sealed the victory with a 16-yard fumble recovery TD, which was the first score of his NFL career. The last time Graham scored a TD was when he returned a blocked punt for a TD vs. Delaware State (10/17/09) while playing collegiately at Michigan.

• Jake Elliott converted 3-of-3 FG attempts from 22, 41 and 33 yards (his 33-yard FG gave the Eagles a 37-35 advantage with just 3:45 remaining in the game). Elliott, who now has 100 points this season, has converted the 2nd-most 40+ yard FGs (16) in Eagles single-season history, trailing only David Akers in 2004 (17).

• Torrey Smith caught 6 passes for a season-high 100 yards (16.7 avg.) in Sunday’s win, marking his first 100+ yard game since 9/20/15 at Pittsburgh with San Francisco (120 yards).
