Factoid
Lee Evans and Plaxico Burress are top talents -- both No. 1 receivers on their respective teams. Their histories in this week's matchups, however, are about as different as could be.
Evans faces the Patriots, a team that has almost totally shut him down throughout his career. Burress faces the Eagles, a team that basically hasn't been able to cover him in his seven games against them as a Giant. History isn't everything -- New England's secondary is now worse, and Philadelphia's is better -- but it shouldn't be ignored, either. The numbers for both players in these matchups are presented below.
