Beyond the numbers
AN OFFENSE CHILDRESS CERTAINLY RECOGNIZED
The ratios the Eagles threw at coach Brad Childress and the Vikings yesterday weren't a whole lot different than when he was in Philly as offensive coordinator. The Eagles passed more than they ran and went to Brian Westbrook more than 40 percent of the time. Westbrook now has more than 59 percent of the carries (110-of-185) and 24.3 percent of the receptions (35-of-145) despite missing a game.
