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....

Sunday Night Football: Colts vs. Vikings

Watch SNF here!

The NFL Week 9 slate of Sunday games will cap off with a Sunday Night Football matchup between the Indianapolis Colts on the road against the Minnesota Vikings.

Colts’ head coach, and former Eagles OC, Shane Steichen made the surprising decision to bench QB Anthony Richardson following last week’s game, and announced early in the week that Joe Flacco would be their starter moving forward. Flacco has already taken plenty of snaps due to Richardson’s inability to stay healthy, so it shouldn’t take long for things to develop for Indy’s offense.

Here’s everything you need to know...

Winning Ugly – 30 Immediate Takeaways from Eagles 28, Jaguars 23

Oof. That was a rough one. It felt like the Eagles were well on their way to their easiest win of the season, but too much dicking around resulted in a 22-point lead becoming a six-point lead, requiring a 3rd and 22 miracle touchdown grab from DeVonta Smith and an end zone interception from Nakobe Dean to put the Jags away.

Pick your cliche of choice. They didn’t step on the opponent’s throat. They took their foot off the gas. The Eagles LET ‘EM OFF THE HOOK, as the late Denny Green once said. It felt like they didn’t think...

The Philadelphia Eagles are 6-2 after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday! Final score: 28 to 23.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Eagles made this one harder than it had to be.

A 22 to 0 lead with 9:25 left in the third quarter should’ve felt better than it did with the offense leaving points on the field due in part to more questionable decision-making by Nick Sirianni.

The Jags got back into the game with the combination of a...

The Eagles’ WR avoided a concussion early on, but ended up questionable to return in Week 10.

[UPDATE]: The Jaguars climbed back into Sundays game, and despite a small 22-16 lead, the Eagles downgraded A.J. Brown to out with a knee injury.


The Eagles’ offense finally got off to a decent start and was able to put points on the board early against the Jaguars on Sunday afternoon. Despite A.J. Brown being evaluated for a concussion in the first half, the WR was cleared and able to return to play, but unfortunately it didn’t last long.

Saquon Barkley might be a wizard

Barkley can’t be stopped, can’t be reasoned with, and your Earth weapons only make him stronger.

I have been watching football for over three decades at this point and, well, what Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley just did to the Jacksonville Jaguars defense is, without a doubt, one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on a football field. Just...just check it out.

What the hell, dude?!?!?! WHO EVEN THINKS TO ATTEMPT JUMPING OVER ANOTHER GROWN UP BACKWARDS?!?!?!?!?!?! Saquon Barkley, that’s who. And he did all of this after an already impressive run after catch.

Never seen anything like it. The hurdle was incredible by itself, but he got there by first breaking a tackle and then juking a second guy out of his shoes. To even attempt that is one thing, but to pull it off is something else entirely. If he gets clipped there, he’s doing a back flip and maybe landing on his head. Difficulty? 10 out of 10. Execution? 10 out...

Dak Prescott injury: Cowboys quarterback dealing with hamstring issue ahead of Eagles game [UPDATE]

Dak Prescott injury: Cowboys quarterback dealing with hamstring issue ahead of Eagles game [UPDATE]

The Eagles play their rival next week, but the Cowboys might be without their starting QB.

[UPDATE]: More tests are needed, but initial reaction from Jerry Jones is not encouraging, with the Cowboys owner reportedly concerned about Dak Prescott’s injury.


The Cowboys season is going from bad to worse with an impending loss to the Falcons. Not only did Dallas look about as bad as they have the past few weeks, but QB Dak Prescott was sidelined with a hamstring injury shortly before WR CeeDee Lamb exited the game with a shoulder injury.

Prescott was 18-of-24 for 134 yards...
