Keep your eye on ...
Jackson going deep: The Eagles figure to take their shots against a Seahawks pass defense that ranks near the bottom in the NFL, yielding 245 yards per game. Rookie DeSean Jackson leads all rookie wideouts with 505 receiving yards and is first in the NFC with 32 receptions.

Who's running for Seattle: Maurice Morris, who has worked his way back into the Seahawks' running-back rotation, had a team-high 11 attempts (for 16 yards) against the 49ers. Julius Jones had a couple of big games early but has seen his carries decrease steadily since then.

Wallace seeing the blitz:Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has a "dead-leg" feeling and hasn't been cleared to play against that Eagles. That means Seneca Wallace could start his third consecutive game. Look for Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson to put the pressure on the inexperienced quarterback. The Eagles rank second in the NFC with 23 sacks.
