Quarterback
Eagles-Broncos scouting report
Eagles: Donovan McNabb had multiple interceptions last week for just the second time this season. His 72.2 passer rating was his lowest in a complete-game win since the 2005 season. That said, he's still having one of the best seasons of his career.
Broncos: Kyle Orton is a solid game manager. He's smart, reads coverages well, has an above-average arm and enough mobility to buy time in the pocket when he needs it. But he needs a productive running game to maximize his skills and strengths. He's not somebody you want throwing the ball 35-40 times a game.
PICK: EAGLES
Running back
Eagles: Brian Westbrook is expected back this week after missing seven of the last eight games, but probably will get a limited amount of touches as the Eagles ease him back in. During their five-game win streak, Eagles have run the ball on 45.8 percent of their offensive snaps (142 of 310).
Broncos: Rookie Knowshon Moreno and ex-Eagle Correll Buckhalter give the Broncos a solid 1-2 backfield punch. They've combined for 1,834 yards from scrimmage. Both can run inside or outside. Both have good hands. Moreno, a stop-and-start type runner, has a little more avoidability than Buckhalter.
PICK: EAGLES
Receiver
Eagles: The Eagles have five different players on pace to catch at least 40 passes this season for the first time in the Andy Reid era. DeSean Jackson and TE Brent Celek clearly have become the go-to guys. Thirty-one of Donovan McNabb's 62 attempts the last two games have been targeted for them.
Broncos: Brandon Marshall is one of the best wideouts in the league. He caught 104 passes last season and already has 93 this year. He's big (6-4, 230), strong and fast with outstanding hands. He has great leaping ability and is an excellent yards-after-the-catch guy. Eddie Royal is an excellent compliment to Marshall.
PICK: EAGLES
Offensive line
Eagles: The Eagles' line is gelling at just the right time. LT Jason Peters, who was nicked up much of the early part of the season, finally is healthy and playing at a Pro Bowl level. The Eagles didn't allow a sack last week and have given up just five in the last four games.
