Records: Philadelphia 10-4, Denver 8-6.
Last week: The Eagles clinched an NFC playoff berth with a 27-13 victory over San Francisco.
Who’s hot: Second-year wide receiver DeSean Jackson, from California, caught six passes for 140 yards against the 49ers and has 1,087 yards on 56 receptions this season (19.4 yards per catch). He has 11 touchdowns — eight on plays longer than 50 yards, an NFL record.
Who’s not: The Philadelphia defense has played fairly well this season, ranking in the middle of the NFL pack in most statistical categories. But the Eagles have missed the leadership of veteran safety Brian Dawkins, a 13-year Philadelphia standout who now is with the Broncos. Though the secondary has been productive (especially at cornerback, with Asante Samuel and Sheldon Brown combining for 13 interceptions), the back end lacks the same intensity without Dawkins.
Key stat: Plus-17 — Philadelphia’s turnover margin this season. That ranks second in the 32-team league, behind Green Bay. The Broncos are tied for fifth, at plus-7.
FYI: Philadelphia coach Andy Reid said Monday he expects veteran running back Brian Westbrook to be cleared to play Sunday. Westbrook played in only one of the Eagles’ past eight games because of concussions.
Coachspeak: “There’s so much still on the line that you have to stay focused on Denver and exhaust yourself there, and that’s kind of how I approached it last night and through the morning.” — Reid, talking to reporters Monday Lindsay H. Jones, The Denver Post
