In Roob's Eagles Stats: Historic milestones for A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert

By Reuben Frank • Published December 30, 2025

Milestones for A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert, incredible success in road games and some ridiculous giveaway-takeaway numbers.

Here’s this week’s edition of Roob’s Eagles Stats. Just one this week. But with a few bonus stats because this stuff is fun! And once I get going, I can’t stop!

1. With 68 yards Sunday, A.J. Brown not only went over 1,000 yards for the fourth straight year, he became the first Eagle ever with four total 1,000-yard seasons. Mike Quick, DeSean Jackson and Harold Carmichael had three apiece. The only other NFL receivers to go over 1,000 yards in each of the last four seasons are Ja’Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Justin Jefferson needs 53 yards in the Vikings’ finale against the Packers to join them. With his 68 yards Sunday in Buffalo, Brown beat DeVonta Smith to the 5,000-yard mark as an Eagle. Brown now has 5,034 yards and moved past Brent Celek (4,998) and into ninth place in Eagles history. Smith had 25 yards against the Bills, giving him 4,967, so he's 32 shy of passing Celek for 10th in Eagles history and 33 yards shy of joining Brown in the 5,000-yard club.

2A. The Eagles’ success on the road really is remarkable. With the win over Buffalo, the Eagles finished 6-3 on the road this year, their fifth consecutive winning season in road games after going 6-3, 7-1, 5-4 and 6-2 in Nick Sirianni’s first four seasons. That 30-13 road record for a .697 winning percentage is the best in the NFL over the last five years. Thanks to Katie at Stathead for this special stat request: The Eagles are only the 19th team in NFL history – and just the seventh since 1983 – with five consecutive winning seasons on the road. The other recent ones are the Cowboys from 1991 through 1995, the 2000 through 2004 Eagles, the 2003 through 2008 Patriots, 2018 through 2024 Chiefs and 2019 through 2023 49ers.

2B. The Eagles have a better road winning percentage in five years under Nick Sirianni at .697 than 29 of 32 NFL teams have at home. The only teams with a better home record since 2021 than the Eagles’ road record are the Bills (34-8, .810), Chiefs (32-11, .744) and Eagles (29-12, .707). And the Eagles handed both the Bills and Chiefs home losses this year.

3. The Eagles have allowed just 30 points in their last three games, the fewest points they’ve allowed in any three-game span since the first three games of 2016, when they gave up 27 in the first three games of Doug Pederson’s coaching career. The Eagles have also allowed just eight passing touchdowns in their last 11 games, the first time they’ve done that since 2001.

4. Thirteen weeks after beating the Bucs despite being outgained by 176 yards (376-200) the Eagles beat the Bills despite being outgained by 141 yards (331-190). The Eagles were 16-139-1 in franchise history before the Tampa game when outgained by at least 140 yards before winning two in a row.

5. The Eagles improved to an NFL-best 8-0 this year when they win turnover margin. They’re 3-5 when they don’t. Since 2021, they’re 42-2 in the regular season when they win turnover margin, 2nd-best in the league behind the 49ers, who are 35-1. Their only losses when winning turnover margin are to the Chiefs in 2021 in Nick Sirianni’s fourth game as a head coach and Washington last year.

6. Sunday’s game was the Eagles’ first on record that they won with fewer than 200 net yards and worse than 25 percent on third down. The Eagles went 3-for-13 on third down for 23 percent and netted 190 yards. Since the NFL began tracking 3rd-down conversions in 1991, the Eagles had been 0-18 when they netted fewer than 200 yards and were worse than 25 percent on third down.

7A. With the win Sunday, Jalen Hurts recorded his fourth straight 11-win season and became only the fourth quarterback in NFL history with four 11-win seasons in his first six years. The others are Patrick Mahomes – who had five – along with Josh Allen and Donovan McNabb. Hurts and McNabb are the only Eagles QBs with four total 11-win seasons. Ron Jaworski had two and Carson Wentz and Randall Cunningham had one each.

7B. Hurts has now won nine games this year while throwing for fewer than 200 yards. He’s the first QB to win nine games in a season while throwing for fewer than 200 yards since Kerry Collins won nine for the Titans in 2008. The last QB to win more games in a season with fewer than 200 yards was Ron Jaworski with the Eagles in 1979 with 10 such games.

8. Josh Allen has played 140 games in his career, and this was only the fourth in which he was sacked five times and didn’t throw a touchdown pass, and it was his first in 73 career starts at home.

9. With six touchdown passes and no interceptions in his last three games following a four-INT game against the Chargers, Jalen Hurts is the first quarterback in 22 years to follow a game with four INTs and no TDs with a three-game span with at least six TD passes and no INTs. Jeff Garcia did that in 2022, with four interceptions against the Ravens, then four, two and two TD passes without an INT against the Cards, Bengals and Eagles in an overtime Eagles loss at the Linc.

10. The Eagles have allowed just seven sacks in their last eight games, tying the fewest in franchise history in an eight-game span. The Eagles also gave up seven sacks in eight games from Week 2 to Week 10 in 2014.

OMG, BONUS STATS

10 ½. The Bills on Sunday became only the seventh team since 2000 to go for two in the final 10 seconds of a game in a win-or-lose situation, down by one point. They’re the fourth in a row to fail on that attempt, joining the Dolphins vs. Washington in 2019 (Ryan Fitzpatrick incomplete), the Raiders vs. the Broncos in 2019 (Derek Carr incomplete) and the Saints vs. the Commanders last year (Spencer Rattler incomplete). The last team to convert a two-point conversion in the final 10 seconds and win the game by a point was the 2018 Chargers, who beat the Chiefs 29-28 on Philip Rivers’ completion to Mike Williams with four seconds left. Late in the 2016 season, the Eagles went for two late in 2016 trailing by one to the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium with four seconds left. Carson Wentz’s pass to Jordan Matthews fell incomplete, and the Ravens won 27-26.

10.6. Jalyx Hunt’s 19-yard sack of Josh Allen was the Eagles’ longest sack in 38 years, since Clyde Simmons sacked Danny White for a 22-yard loss in the Eagles’ 37-20 win over the Cowboys at the Vet in 1987.

10.65. The Eagles led the Cowboys 21-0 at halftime and didn’t score in the second half, they trailed the Giants 20-17 at halftime and didn’t score in the second half and they led the Bills 13-0 at halftime and didn’t score again. This is the first time in 26 years the Eagles have had three games in a season where they scored at least 13 points in a first half and didn’t score again. In 1999, they led the Cards 24-6 at halftime of Andy Reid’s first game as an NFL head coach and lost 25-24, in Week 6 they led the Bears 20-6 at halftime and won 20-16 and in Week 8 they led Giants 17-3 at halftime and lost 20-17 in overtime.

10.7. How rare is what the Eagles did in Buffalo Sunday? The Bills were 32-4 in their previous 36 games at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., and their 34-8 home record since the start of 2021 was best in the NFL. Their 12 points are their fewest at home in their last 36 home games, dating back to a 14-10 loss to the Patriots late in the 2021 season. The Eagles’ five sacks matched the 5th-most ever against Josh Allen.

10.8. With his sixth sack Sunday, Moro Ojomo became only the 16th defensive tackle ever drafted in the seventh round or later to record 6.0 or more sacks in a season. Ojomo is only half a sack off the most career sacks as an Eagle by a 7th-round pick. Harvey Armstrong, a 7th-round pick in 1982, had 6 ½ sacks over the 1982 through 1984 seasons. The only other Eagles at any position drafted in the seventh round or later with 6.0 sacks in a season are 1986 9th-round pick Clyde Simmons, who did it six times, including an NFL-leading 19 in 1992, and 1986 8th-round pick Seth Joyner, who had 6.0 or more sacks three times.

10.85. Dallas Goedert’s touchdown catch was his 11th this year and that’s tied for 5th-most in franchise history, behind T.O. (14 in 2004), Tommy McDonald (13 in 1960 and 1961) and Mike Quick (13 in 1983). That’s elite company. It’s also tied for 17th-most in NFL history by a tight end. Of those 11 TDs, 10 have come in the red zone. Only Davante Adams, with 12, has more red-zone TDs this year than Goedert. Goedert’s 10 red-zone TD catches are the most ever by an Eagle in a single season. Cris Carter in 1989 and Calvin Williams in 1993 had nine apiece.

10.9. With their 10-7 win over the Packers, 16-9 over the Lions and 13-12 over the Bills, this is only the fourth time in franchise history and the first time in 25 years the Eagles have won three games in a season while scoring 16 or fewer points. In 2000, they beat the Bears 13-9, the Cowboys 16-13 in overtime and the Bengals 16-7 on the final day of the season. They also did it in 1938 and 1997. The last team to win three games in a season while scoring 16 or fewer points was the 2012 Super Bowl-champion Ravens, who beat the Chiefs 9-6, the Steelers 15-10 and the Chargers 16-13 in overtime.

10.98. Over the last eight games, the Eagles have an NFL-best sack differential of plus-19 with 26 sacks recorded and seven allowed. They have the 5th-most sacks during that span and they’ve allowed the 2nd-fewest. The plus-19 over eight weeks is the Eagles’ largest sack differential in an eight-game span since 2014, when they had 29 sacks and allowed seven from Week 2 through Week 9.

Smitty’s numbers are crazy! To only be like 60 yards behind AJ is pretty damn good. I mean I know he’s been here a year longer but he’s the #2 WR or at least for the most part has been. And he’s going to surpass AJ at some point because the likelihood is he’s going to be here longer.

10.65 is why Patullo needs to go.
