* After allowing the Packers and Lions to convert 12 of 29 third-down opportunities (41.4), the Eagles held the Jaguars to five first downs on 17 third-down tries (29.4).

* The Eagles held an opponent without a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 1 of the '09 season. They had given up 15 TD passes in their previous seven games, dating back to last season.
