Early reports indicate A.J. Brown avoided serious knee injury

The Eagles WR will still undergo further testing, but initial thoughts are encouraging.

It’s no secret that the Eagles offense is measurably better with A.J. Brown on the field, and after leaving Sundays game against the Jaguars due to a knee injury, early reports indicate there’s room for optimism.

Brown came out after halftime to try sprinting on the sideline, but shortly afterward, returned to the locker room before he was ultimately declared out for the rest of the game. That he was able to even try and run was a good sign, and that he didn’t appear to have...

Dan Orlovsky Says He Doesn’t Trust 1 NFL Team’s Coach

Dan Orlovsky Says He Doesn’t Trust 1 NFL Team’s Coach

The Philadelphia Eagles escaped Sunday with a narrow win, but it should’ve never been that close.

The Eagles were up 22-0 against the Jacksonville Jaguars before Doug Pederson’s team put a scare in them.

They still hung on to beat them 28-23, but once again, this team looked vulnerable.

That’s why, as much as he likes what the players and their other coaches are doing, Dan Orlovsky cannot trust Nick Sirianni.

Talking on ESPN Radio’s “UNSPORTSMANLIKE,” the former quarterback admitted that he didn’t trust this version of Sirianni, adding that no one took more points off the board than him....

Four Games in a Row Without a Jalen Hurts Turnover

Four Games in a Row Without a Jalen Hurts Turnover

Let’s start positive on a Monday morning. Jalen Hurts finished Sunday’s win with a 75% completion rate, going 18 for 24 for 230 yards and two touchdowns, playing a portion of the second half without A.J. Brown. He ran the ball 13 times for 67 yards and a score and didn’t turn the ball over for the fourth-straight game.

The last time he threw a pick or lost a fumble was on 9/29 in Tampa Bay.

After nine weeks, bye included, Hurts is now tied for 22nd among NFL quarterbacks with only six giveaways. He’s two lost fumbles and four...

Eagles-Jaguars snap counts: Bryce Huff limited to 6 plays

Playing time analysis.

The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars are in! Let’s take a look and run through some analysis.

OFFENSE

  • Fred Johnson missed one snap on a two-point conversion try after getting banged up on Saquon Barkley’s touchdown run. Jack Driscoll filled in at left tackle for that play.
  • Grant Calcaterra actually led the Eagles in receptions with five on five targets. But he only gained 30 yards.
  • Saquon Barkley played his third-lowest snap count percentage but produced his most yards from scrimmage in a game...

NFL Week 9: Biggest questions, takeaways for every game - ESPN
Should Saquon Barkley be in the conversation for Offensive Player of the Year? Absolutely. Barkley entered Sunday with the second-most scrimmage yards in the league (872) and tacked on nearly 200 more, along with a pair of touchdowns. He mesmerized the crowd with a backwards leap over a defender in the second quarter and showed off his pass-catching chops with a 20-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. It wasn’t all pretty, as Barkley...

Eagles vs. Jaguars: 13 winners, 2 losers, 5 IDKs

Highlight performances from Philadelphia’s Week 9 win.

The Philadelphia Eagles are 6-2 after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars!

Weird one.

The Eagles had a 22-point lead ... that quickly got cut to six points with just 14 seconds coming off the clock.

A game where the Eagles ...

  • outgained their opponent by 232 yards
  • possessed the ball for nearly 16.5 minutes longer
  • finished +2 in turnover differential

... somehow came down to the wire with the Jags 13 yards away from scoring what feasibly could’ve been the game-winning touchdown.

Much to discuss from a game that was jam-packed...

NFL Playoff Picture: Eagles move up after Week 9 win

The latest update on Philadelphia’s postseason outlook.

Good news and bad news for the Philadelphia Eagles when it comes to the NFL playoff picture.

The good news is they held on to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars to win their fourth straight game and advance to 6-2. After leaving Week 8 as the No. 7 seed, they moved up to the No. 6 seed with the Green Bay Packers losing. Note that the Birds also hold a valuable head-to-head tiebreaker over the Pack after beating them in Week 1.

The bad news is that the Eagles continue to chase the [Washington...

Dak Prescott admits the Cowboys suck

Dak Prescott admits the Cowboys suck

He’s not wrong.

With the Eagles managing to survive against the Jaguars on Sunday, we enter Beat Dallas week. The two NFC East rivals will face off in Week 10, and while the Eagles didn’t finish strong, the Cowboys haven’t played well in weeks — longer than that, but things have really spun out of control lately.

In the midst on key injuries, effort has again been called into question, and there’s an obvious lack of discipline as evidenced by Ezekiel Elliott being late to, or missing, so many meetings that he didn’t even travel to Atlanta this week. On...

NFL Week 10 odds: Eagles significantly favored in road game against Cowboys

NFL Week 10 odds: Eagles significantly favored in road game against Cowboys

Philadelphia might be facing a Dallas team missing Dak Prescott.

The Philadelphia Eagles opened as 6.5-point road favorites in their Week 10 game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to FanDuel.

That’s ... a big number.

For perspective, consider that the Eagles opened as 6.5-point home favorites against the Jacksonville Jaguars entering Week 9.

Also consider that the Eagles haven’t won at AT&T Stadium since ... 2017.

This line seems to suggest that Dak Prescott is in serious jeopardy of missing next weekend’s game. The Cowboys’ starting quarterback suffered a hamstring injury in a loss to the Atlanta Falcons. CeeDee Lamb...

Here’s the Zebras’ Explanation for Saquon Barkley’s Fumble

Jacksonville returned a Saquon Barkley fumble for a touchdown on Sunday evening, a call that stood despite contact from a Jags’ player. Vice President of Replay Training and Development Mark Butterworth explained why after the game:

A “pool report” is when a designated reporter speaks to a person and then relays the information back to the group. It’s usually done when getting official word from the refs.

It’s really hard to tell if Saquon was...

Eagles vs. Jaguars: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Highlights and lowlights from Philadelphia’s Week 9 win.

With 9:25 left in the third quarter, the Jacksonville Jaguars had a total of 36 yards of offense and zero points. Jacksonville was there at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday—and that seemed about it.

For once, it looked like the Eagles were doing what they were supposed to do against one of the worst teams in the NFL, smack them around, and then pounce on them.

But something happened on the way to the pouncing. The Jaguars gained new life, and the resuscitation may have come from Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni....
