The Philadelphia Eagles’ secondary has emerged as a defensive powerhouse, transforming from a solid unit to arguably the most formidable in the NFL.

Their recent six-game winning streak underscores a defensive performance that’s been nothing short of exceptional, characterized by precise coverage, strategic playmaking, and impeccable communication.

ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky didn’t mince words when discussing the Eagles’ defensive backs.

On NFL Live, he boldly declared, “I’m gonna make two comments about Philadelphia’s defense. Number one, I think this is the best secondary in football right now. And then I’ll say Quinyon Mitchell is probably the favorite for Defensive Rookie...

The Philadelphia Eagles have thus far rebounded nicely from their disastrous finish last season, and with an 8-2 record, they’re arguably the second-best team in the NFC behind the Detroit Lions.

In Week 12, the Eagles will travel to play the Los Angeles Rams before they visit the Baltimore Ravens in a Week 13 showdown.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was recently limited in practice because of an ankle injury, but he said it’s all part of a plan.

“Hurts told reporters it’s part of a ‘mini-program’ to be healthy for the stretch run and he’ll fully practice the next...

NFL fans are still buzzing over one recent play that ranks among the greatest, or at least the most dazzling, anyone has seen in recent memory.

It took place when Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley hurdled a defender while going backward in the air against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Now, gamers can re-enact that special move in Madden NFL 25, as it has been added to the iconic video game, according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter.

Starting today, Saquon Barkley’s backwards hurdle has been added to Madden NFL 25:

The latest news on Philadelphia and Los Angeles.

The Philadelphia Eagles issued their first official injury report on Wednesday in advance of their Week 12 road game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Eagles listed four players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: DeVonta Smith, Milton Williams, Bryce Huff, and Jalyx Hunt.

Smith has been dealing with a hamstring injury that’s led to the Eagles managing his practice workload to help get him to game day. The guess here is he’ll be ramped up over the next two days before playing on Sunday night.

Williams suffered a foot injury in Week 11....

Opponent perspective on Philadelphia’s upcoming matchup.

The Philadelphia Eagles are traveling to SoFi Stadium this weekend to take on the Los Angeles Rams. It’s a sneaky important game for the Birds.

In order to preview this Week 12 battle, I reached out to our enemies over at Turf Show Times. The ebullient Evan Craig kindly took the time to answer my questions about this upcoming tilt. Let’s take a look at the answers. [For my answers about the Eagles, stay tuned to TST.]

**1 - The Rams are 5-5 after starting 1-4. What went wrong initially and what’s since...

Bryce Huff will miss time with his wrist injury. That’s according to all of the beats, who MYSTERIOUSLY tweeted the same thing at the same time, citing a “source” –

Huff was playing better during the winning streak. He’s got 2.5 sacks and a stuff since the Cleveland game. The Eagles will look to Jalyx Hunt for increased snaps, or so we thought. The beats say he was off to the side at Wednesday’s practice. The Birds still have Josh Sweat, Nolan Smith, and Brandon Graham at the EDGE position.

Interestingly enough, in the fallout of the Jets being...

Philadelphia’s primary punt returner could be back on the field soon.

The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced three roster moves on Wednesday afternoon. An overview:

• WR Britain Covey’s 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve was opened.
• DT Siaki Ika was signed to the practice squad.
• WR Kyle Philips was released from the practice squad.

Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.

BRITAIN COVEY

Covey suffered a shoulder injury back in Week 3. At the time, he said he expected to miss at least six weeks. The Eagles placed him on injured reserve.

At...

Philadelphia’s big free agent signing could be set to miss multiple games.

Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Bryce Huff is set to undergo a procedure on his wrist this Thursday, according to multiple reports. Nick Sirianni confirmed as much during his Wednesday press conference.

Huff is expected to have a chance to return to the field later this season.

Huff originally suffered an injury in warmups prior to the Eagles’ Week 9 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 3. He was limited to a season-low six snaps in that contest. Playing with a cast on his left hand (as pictured...

The Eagles’ tackles are stalwart defenders of the free market because they didn’t allow the Commies to get their grubby Marxist mitts on Jalen Hurts:

Mailata had just come off IR and was playing his first game in a month. Johnson is 34 and has played nine of 10 games this season.

In six Mailata games, Pro Football Focus says he’s allowed seven hurries and one sack, so eight total pressures. He’s pass blocked on 220 of his 396 snaps, which is 55.5%, and committed...

Vic Fangio speaks every week, but doesn’t say much. One-sentence answers, maybe two or three if you’re lucky. That being said, this was somewhat interesting from Tuesday’s press conference:

When you have such a young defense, what are the biggest concerns you have? Especially as you get deeper into the season with a young secondary. Really, all three levels, you have young guys. (Bob Brookover)

*VIC FANGIO: Nothing, really. Back in the day, you used to hear rookies hitting the ‘rookie wall.’ I don’t think that rookie wall exists anymore because back in the day, you’d have...

We’re back for another day of the Bleeding Green Nation in-5 daily trivia game, and we’re returning to our system of a new article each day for the game.

We tried using a single article for the game, updated with the latest game each day, but it was creating a bit of an unwieldy experience in the comments. So, we’ll have the current day’s game plus the previous three days in each new article. That way,...
