• With a shutout win over the Washington Redskins (W, 24-0) and a Minnesota Vikings loss to the Chicago Bears (L, 10-24), Philadelphia has clinched a playoff berth for the second consecutive season and for the 26th time in franchise history.

• All-Time Postseason Appearances: 2018, 2017, 2013, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2006, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1996, 1995, 1992, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1960, 1949, 1948, 1947

FOLES TIES NFL RECORD FOR CONSECUTIVE COMPLETIONS

• Nick Foles completed 25 consecutive passes between the first and third quarters, which tied an NFL record shared by Philip Rivers (25 – 11/25/18 vs. Arizona) and Ryan Tannehill (7 – 10/18/15 at Tennessee, 18 – 10/25/15 vs. Houston). Foles and Rivers are the only NFL QBs to accomplish the feat in a single game.

• Foles completed 28-of-33 (84.8%) attempts for 221 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT and a 102.1 passer rating. It was the highest single-game completion percentage of his career and his 17th career game (13th as an Eagle) with a 100+ QB rating (min. 18 attempts).

SCORING DRIVES

• Philadelphia took a 10-0 lead in the second quarter following a 19-play, 87-yard drive that lasted 11:49 and resulted in a 2-yard TD pass from Nick Foles to Alshon Jeffery. The scoring drive marked the NFL's first 19-play TD drive since N.Y. Giants on 11/30/14 at Jacksonville. According to Elias Sports, it was the Eagles' longest drive by plays since 9/7/97 vs. Green Bay (also 19 plays).

• The Eagles made it 17-0 in the third quarter when Nick Foles hooked up with Nelson Agholor for a 6-yard score. Agholor has caught a TD pass in each of his last 2 games (83-yard TD in Week 16 vs. Houston).

• Philadelphia went up by a 24-0 score when Nate Sudfeld threw a 22-yard TD to Nelson Agholor, marking the first TD of Sudfeld's career and first multi-TD performance of Agholor's career.
