The longest-tenured Eagle, tight end Brent Celek, leads off this week's edition of Eagles Milestone Watch.
Celek, now in his 11th year with the Eagles, has a chance to join some pretty elite company Sunday when the Eagles face the Bears at the Linc.
Let's dive right in!
• Celek has 4,968 career receiving yards, all in an Eagles uniform. With 32 more yards, he will become the eighth player in Eagles history with 5,000 receiving yards and only the 12th tight end in NFL history with at least 5,000 receiving yards all with the same team. The only other players with at least 5,000 yards all in an Eagles uniform are Pete Retzlaff (7,412), Mike Quick (6,464), Hall of Famer Pete Pihos (5,619) and Bobby Walston (5,363).
• Rodney McLeod has an interception in three straight games, and with an interception Sunday, he'll tie the franchise record of four straight games with an INT. Bill Bradley opened the 1972 season with an interception in four straight games.
• Carson Wentz is seeking his seventh straight game with two or more touchdown passes and one or fewer interceptions. That would match the 11th-longest such streak in NFL history.
• The Eagles have rushed for 197 and 215 rushing yards in their last two games. The last time they had 190 or more rushing yards in three straight games was in 1978 when they did it against the Colts, Dolphins and Saints.
• The Eagles have held three straight opponents to less than 240 total yards of offense for the first time since 1993. If they hold the Bears to 240 or fewer yards, it would equal their longest such streak since a seven-game streak in 1954. In 1991, they held the Giants, 49ers, Saints and Buccaneers below 240 yards in consecutive weeks.
