With Chip Kelly’s high-octane Philadelphia Eagles offense sputtering since halftime of Week 3 against the Washington Redskins, the defense and special teams have been carrying the scoring load. They’re doing so at a historic pace.

With yet another blocked punt returned for a touchdown on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, the Eagles scored their sixth return TD of the year, which is tied for an NFL record through five games. Here are three other things to know about Philly’s historic run on non-offensive TDs:

1. A blocked punt TD on Sunday was Philadelphia’s 28th-straight point courtesy defense or special teams.

In Week 4 against San Francisco, the Eagles scored all of their 21 points without help of the offense (blocked punt, interception, punt return). A James Casey block on Sunday that was returned for a 10-yard touchdown by Chris Maragos extended the streak to 28, which would be mind-boggling for any team, but especially one that features what was expected to be one of the best offenses in the NFL. The offense’s offensive streak was finally snapped when Cody Parkey kicked a 26-yard field goal on Philadelphia’s second possession on Sunday against the Rams.

The blocked punt TD came 23 seconds into the game, right after the Rams threw three quick incompletions on their first possession. Though I couldn’t find any data on it, I’d have to guess the blocked punt TD was one of the fastest in NFL history. How many other punts could possibly have been blocked after a three-passes-and-out on a game’s opening possession.

2. Until Philly pulled the feat, no team since the 2002 Baltimore Ravens had returned a blocked punt for a TD in consecutive games.

The Eagles themselves hadn’t blocked a punt for a touchdown since 1992, then did it in back-to-back weeks. The team has only had three special teams touchdowns in a single season twice in team history: 1944 and 1966.

3. The Eagles are looking to become the first team in NFL history to score a touchdown eight different ways in a single season.

This stat was courtesy NFL RedZone’s Scott Hanson, who shared it on Sunday after the blocked punt touchdown (which was actually Philly’s second such TD of the year). Evidently, no team in NFL history has ever scored a touchdown eight different ways, but the Eagles have the rest of Sunday and 11 more weeks to accomplish the unheralded feat. Here’s how the Eagles have scored their touchdowns so far this year, with the first such TD listed. (For example, though the Eagles have three rushing touchdowns on the year, only their first rushing score is listed.)

a. Rushing TD (Darren Sproles, 49 yards, Week 1)

b. Receiving TD (Zach Ertz from Nick Foles, 25 yards, Week 1)

c. Fumble return TD (Fletcher Cox, 17 yards, Week 1)

d. Kickoff return TD (Chris Polk, 102 yards, Week 3)

e. Blocked punt return TD (Brad Smith, 0 yards, Week 4)

f. Interception return TD (Malcolm Jenkins, 53 yards, Week 4)

g. Punt return TD (Darren Sproles, 82 yards, Week 5)

All that’s left? A blocked field goal return for a TD. Given that the Eagles still have one remaining game with the Redskins, that’s not a bad bet.
