From the Seahawks: Philadelphia leads the all-time series by a 6-4 advantage but Seattle took the most recent match-up on December 5, 2005, on Monday Night Football by the score of 42-0, led by Seattle’s three defensive touchdowns including two by Andre Dyson in his 11 defensive plays on the night (ankle). Seattle has outscored Philadelphia 80-0 in its last two trips to the City of Brotherly Love; 42-0 in 2005 and 38-0 on September 6, 1998. Philadelphia won the most recent trips to Seattle in 2001 and 2002. With a win this weekend, Mike Holmgren will tie Chuck Knox for most career Seattle victories. Holmgren is currently 79-60 in the regular season (3-5 postseason) while Knox compiled an 80-63 regular season record (3-4 postseason) in his nine years at the helm. Holmgren can also become the winningest active career head coach this weekend with a Seattle win and a Washington Redskins loss to the Buffalo Bills. His 166-107 career record trails Joe Gibbs’ 167-99 record. Denver’s Mike Shanahan ranks third with 144 wins. In last week’s game, Nate Burleson set Seattle records for most punt returns (42) and punt return yards (473) in a single season. Last week also marked the first time in team history with two kickoff returns for touchdowns in a season. |
