The previous rookie record for longest kickoff return was a 99-yard touchdown by Wilbert Montgomery on 12/11/77 vs. NY Giants.

Movin' On Up ... WR DeSean Jackson led the team with 5 receptions for 47 yards. He now has 47 catches this season, which is the fifth-highest single-season total among Eagles rookies and the most by a rookie wide receiver since Don Looney caught 58 in 1940.
