HOME, SWEET HOME

· Blount is the first Eagle with rushing TDs in back-to-back playoff games since Brian Westbrook during the 2006 playoffs (1/7/07-1/13/07).

ROBINSON RETURNS INTERCEPTION

· Patrick Robinson helped swing the momentum of the game when he intercepted Case Keenum at the 50-yard line in the first quarter and returned the pick for a touchdown to tie the game, 7-7. The Eagles went on to score 38 unanswered points (including the pick-six).
