Found this on the Eagles Website: What Would Beating The Redskins Mean? (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/homeNewsDetail.jsp?id=42333)
The Eagles can prevent the Washington Redskins from making their first playoff appearance since 1999 with a win Sunday. Ironically, the last time the Eagles did not make the playoffs was also 1999.
The Eagles will become the fifth straight team to lose in the Super Bowl and finish the following season with a losing record. The Titans, who lost Super Bowl XXXIV, went 13-3 following their Super Bowl loss and are the last runner-up to make the playoffs.
Since the start of the NFC East division in 1970, the Eagles have only been winless against their division rivals once. That was in 1972. They were 0-7-1 in the division with their tie coming against the Giants.
Sean Landeta averaged 50.1 yards per punt Saturday against the Cardinals. It was his highest single-game punting average since Oct. 18, 2004 against Tampa Bay. In all, it was the seventh time he had accomplished the feat since 2000.
Wide receiver Billy McMullen recorded his first NFL touchdown Saturday. He is the fifth Eagle to record his first regular season touchdown this season. Sheldon Brown, Reggie Brown, Greg Lewis and Ryan Moats are the others.
Speaking of Reggie Brown, he leads all rookies in receiving yards with 494.
Bruce Perry leads all kickoff returners, who have at least five returns, with an average of 31.7 yards per return.
The Eagles have allowed 23 touchdown passes this season. They allowed 16 last season.
