Here are 10 things to know about the matchup between the Eagles’ offense and the Cardinals’ defense Sunday afternoon. If you missed the first cheat sheet, which focused on the Eagles’ D and Arizona’s offense, click here.

When observers discussed the difference in the 2010 and 2011 versions of Michael Vick all offseason, the conversations almost always focused on turnovers.
But there was another difference: his performance in the fourth quarter.
In 2010, Vick threw six touchdowns and no interceptions in the final 15 minutes of games. He led four fourth-quarter comebacks and engineered three game-winning drives. Last season, however, was a different story. Vick threw three touchdowns and three interceptions in the fourth. He led zero fourth-quarter comebacks and zero game-winning drives.
We’re only two games into the 2012 season, but so far, the results from Vick in crunch time are encouraging.
In the second half of last season, tight end Brent Celek was one of the Eagles’ most reliable, productive options in the passing game.
He averaged 69.6 yards per game and had an outstanding catch rate (receptions per targets) of 73 percent in the final 10 games. Celek led all tight ends (yes, that includes guys like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham) in yards after the catch.
But when Jason Peters injured his Achilles in the offsesason, a reasonable question to ask was: How would it affect Celek? Specifically, would he be called on to block more in passing situations?
