The Philadelphia Eagles rebounded from an embarrassing Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers with a convincing 43-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon.

It was the fifth consecutive loss for the Titans, who fell to 2-9 on the season. The Eagles remain atop the NFC East with an 8-3 record.

Here's what you need to know:

  • The game got off to an exciting start for the Eagles, as rookie wide receiver Josh Huff returned the opening kickoff 107 yards for a touchdown. It was the longest kickoff return in team history.
  • Not to be outdone, fellow rookie Cody Parkey kicked his 17th consecutive field goal, tying the second-longest streak in Eagles history.
  • Eagles running back LeSean McCoy posted his third 100-yard game of the season, rushing for 130 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries.
  • Eagles tight end Zach Ertz left the game in the first quarter with an oblique injury but was able to return a short time later.
  • Titans wide receiver Nate Washington caught four passes for 63 yards, putting him over 6,000 yards for his career.
  • Zach Mettenberger had the unfortunate luck of being the 50th quarterback to be taken down by Eagles linebacker Trent Cole. It wasn't all bad for Mettenberger, though, as he threw for a season-high 345 yards.
  • Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez completed 30-of-43 passes for 307 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
  • Titans tight end Delanie Walker caught five passes for a career-high 155 yards
  • Second-year safety Daimion Stafford recorded the first interception of his career for the Titans.
  • Titans rookie left tackle Taylor Lewan was carted to the locker room in the fourth quarter after suffering an ankle injury and did not return.
