Inside The Numbers: Vick's Record And More

Oct 10, 2011 at 02:21 AM

Here are some news and notes in the wake of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills ...

Rushing into the Record Books ... Quarterback Michael Vick posted his second-consecutive 300-yard passing game and the seventh of his career, throwing for 315 yards and two touchdowns. He now has 101 career touchdown passes ... Vick also rushed for 90 yards, and now has 4,948 in his career, surpassing former Eagle Randall Cunningham (4,928) for the most in NFL history by a quarterback ... Vick's 53-yard rush in the third quarter was the second-longest of his career. He had a 58-yarder in 2004 vs. Arizona.

McCoy's McNuggets ... Running back LeSean McCoy rushed for 80 yards and his seventh touchdown of the season (five rushing, two receiving). He became the first Eagle ever to score a touchdown in each of the first five games of the season.

The Slot Machine ... Wide receiver Jason Avant had a career-high nine receptions for 139 yards, marking his third-career 100-yard receiving game, and his first since at San Diego in 2009. Avant became the third Eagle this season to eclipse 100 receiving yards in a game ... Avant has had at least six catches in each of the last two games.

Offensive Quick Hits ... Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin caught his third touchdown of the season. It was Maclin's 17th-career touchdown and his 10th red-zone score ... Wide receiver DeSean Jackson scored his second touchdown of the season on a 31-yard catch-and-run. Including postseason games, 20 of Jackson's 28 career touchdowns have covered 30-plus yards ... The Eagles netted 489 yards of total offense after compiling 513 last week. It was just the second time since 1950 that the Eagles amassed over 475 yards of total offense in back-to-back weeks. In 1953, they did so three straight weeks.

Defensive Nuggets ... Linebacker Jamar Chaney registered his first-career interception ... Defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins notched his fifth sack of the season. He has at least one sack in four of the team's five games. Since 2010, Jenkins has 12 sacks, tying Ndamukong Suh for the most among defensive tackles.
