The Dozen

Twelve facts and figures in advance of tonight's game between the Eagles and Redskins:

3. One team has swept the season series in seven of the last 8 years - the Eagles in 2009, 2006, 2004, 2003 and 2002; Washington in 2008 and 2005. The teams split in 2007. Washington won the first meeting this season, 17-12, on Oct. 3.

4. At one point in Andy Reid's tenure, the Eagles had lost 14 of 16 night games, but have since gone 6-2 and are 14-6 all-time on ESPN.

5. The Eagles are 5-1 this season when scoring 20 points or more and also 5-1 when leading after three quarters (although they made a few of those closer than necessary).

6. The Eagles have steadily climbed the rankings in run defense. They were 24th after Week 1, 27th after Week 4 and entered this week at 12th. They have held four consecutive opponents to 75 total rushing yards or less for the first time since 1994.
