More Eagles running backs have had 100-yard postseason rushing games at the Superdome in New Orleans than in any other stadium. Including their own stadiums! Wilbert Montgomery had the only Eagles 100-yard rushing game at the Vet (194 yards in the 1980 NFC Championship Game) and Brian Westbrook has the only one so far at the Linc (141 yards against the Giants in a 2006 wild-card game). But both Heath Sherman (105 yards in 1992 wild-card game) and Westbrook (116 yards in 2006 conference semifinals) have done it at the Superdome.

The Eagles have scored fewer than 30 points in 16 straight playoff games, just one shy of the NFL record of 17 straight games shared by the Chiefs from 1967-1998 and the Chargers from 1983-2014 (and still active). The last time the Eagles scored 30 points in a playoff game was the 33-19 win over the Bears in the 2001 conference semifinals at Soldier Field. The Eagles have also gone nine straight home playoff games without scoring 30 points, the third-longest streak in NFL history behind two 12-game streaks - the Bears from 1963-2007 and the Chargers from 1965-2010 (still active). They scored 31 against the Buccaneers in a wild-card game the week before that Bears game in 2001.
