For only the fourth time since 1960 (as far back as we can check), four different players have led the Eagles in receiving yardage in their first four games.
Of the previous three times (1989, 2005, 2006), only the 2006 club had a fifth different player do so in Game 5.
If wide receiver Jason Avant or running back LeSean McCoy (or somone out of the blue) were to lead the Birds in receiving yardage Sunday against the Steelers, they would match that 2006 club.
Below are the leading receivers from the first five games from each of those seasons:
