By The Numbers

October 27, 2009

* With last night's win, Andy Reid improved his record on Monday Night Football to 12-7.

* The Eagles' win over the Redskins was just their fifth win in their last 13 games against NFC East foes.

* Will Witherspoon's first-quarter interception return for a touchdown was the first regular-season pick for a score since Asante Samuel returned one 50 yards last December against Cleveland. Samuel also had a 44-yard interception return for a TD against Minnesota in the playoffs last season.

* Donovan McNabb's 57-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson late in the second quarter was the 200th TD pass of his career. McNabb also went over 30,000 career passing yards on the play.

* McNabb's TD pass to Jackson came on a third-and-22 play. The Eagles had been 0-for-16 on third-and-10 or more this season before converting that one.

* McNabb, who didn't have an interception last night, has thrown 15 touchdown passes and just two picks in his last nine regular-season games, dating back to last season.

* McNabb hasn't thrown an interception in his last six starts against the Redskins.

* With their three takeaways against the Redskins, the Eagles have forced 17 turnovers in their first six games. Through six games last year, they had 12. The Eagles have scored 53 points off of those 17 turnovers, including 13 against the Redskins.

* The Eagles committed a season-high 12 penalties in last night's win. They've got 45 in their first six games.

* The Eagles have held five of their six opponents to 17 points or less.

* The Eagles haven't allowed a rushing touchdown in their last four games and have given up just three all season.
