Eagles vs. Commies on Thursday night football. 7-2 vs. 7-3 with first place in the NFC East on the line:

What were Saquon Barkley and Micah Parsons laughing about after the Eagles beat the Cowboys?

What were Saquon Barkley and Micah Parsons laughing about after the Eagles beat the Cowboys?

The Penn State alumni have been friends since college, and they reconnected Sunday after the Birds won in Dallas.

They might have always been division opponents since entering the league, but Saquon Barkley and Micah Parsons started out as close friends and teammates at Penn State.

The friends reconnected after the Eagles beat the Cowboys in Dallas, 34-6, and despite the loss, Parsons was all smiles...

The Eagles should listen to all of Fangio’s suggestions. The man seems to know a thing or two. Baun and Nakobe Dean both tackled very well, especially out in space. Small-ball works best when guys get short throws and add yards after the...
