PHILADELPHIA - Eagles place-kicker Alex Henery is in the zone.

He's in such a groove that when he gets ready to attempt a field goal, the space between the uprights actually looks wider.

"You develop a certain confidence level sometimes," Henery said. "It's like playing golf when you have it. When the fairway looks huge, it's a lot easier to hit it."

Henery has been hitting his kicks at a record level. He has made a franchise-record 19 straight field goals and has made 21 of 22 attempts this season.

With the possible exception of guard Evan Mathis, Henery could be the only Eagle to make the Pro Bowl this season.

"Making the Pro Bowl would be really cool," Henery said. "But until it actually happens, I won't believe it."
