Three Things You Should Care About
1. Big Game Tony? Hardly. It's no myth: Tony Romo pretty much stinks in important games. Consider these numbers: Since becoming a starter in October 2006, he's 8-10 with a pedestrian touchdown-interception ratio of 1.6:1 against teams that have finished their season above .500 (and using current records for 2009 opponents). Against the league's patsies, he's a whopping 24-4, with a 2.24:1 ratio.

2. These Eagles are equally familiar with the big play. Through seven games. Andy Reid's offense has scored on what STATS.com describes as "big plays" (plays of 20 yards or more) 12 times already. Projected out over 16 games, these Eagles are on pace to notch 27 such big-play scores this season. To put that into perspective, no Andy Reid-coached team has ever scored on big plays more than 18 times in a season. -

3. ...But none of that matters if Donovan McNabb can't stay upright. The Eagles' line has been a spotty bunch, keeping a clean sheet in wins against Carolina and K.C., but allowing 14 sacks over the past four weeks. Six of those came in Week 6 against the Raiders, perhaps offering a template for stifling the Eagles' offensive juggernaut.
