Eagles vs. Falcons comparison

This Sunday at 3:00p.m. ET the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons will play to decide which team will play in the Super Bowl. The game should be a close one. Various statistics show the two teams to be pretty comparable. For example, this season both teams have averaged over 300 yards per game. Also, both quarterbacks have similar completion rates. Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb has a 60% completion rate this season, while Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has a 56.4% completion rate. However, the Eagles rank higher than the Falcons in overall offense and overall defense. The Eagles have the 9th best overall offense in the NFL, while the Atlanta Falcons have the 20th overall offense. Also, the Eagles overall defense is ranked 10th overall, and the Falcons overall defense is ranked 14th.

GO EAGLES!

  • I was hoping someone might post on this topic. There are a lot of statistics in both baseball and football, but it seems easier to get a feel for a baseball player's or baseball team's ability by looking at the numbers than it is for football.

    Why might that be?
