Monday Night Football: Giants vs. Steelers

Watch MNF live with us!

The final game of Week 8 will be a Monday Night Football contest between the New York Giants (2-5) on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2).

The Giants lead the all-time series between these teams, 44-31-3, but the Steelers have won the three most-recent meetings. They last faced off back in 2020, with the Steelers pulling off a road win, 26-16.

Russell Wilson is still the Steelers starting quarterback after his Week 7 return from injury. The veteran QB led Pittsburgh to a win, their fifth of the season, but Justin Fields probably could’ve...

Eagles vs. Bengals: 22 winners, 2 losers, 1 IDKs

Highlight performances from Philadelphia’s Week 8 win.

The Philadelphia Eagles are 5-2 after beating the Cincinnati Bengals!

Three wins in a row! Dare I say, the Eagles are ... back?!

Sure feels that way after that kind of complete performance going up against a quality team on the road. The quarterback played great, the offense had rhythm, and the defense made big plays.

Multiple games this season have frustratingly felt like the 2023 Eagles all over again. Last week’s run-heavy approach was reminiscent of the 2021 Eagles. Beating the Bengals had more of a 2022 feel and makes one wonder...

The Eagles head coach spoke to reporters after their Week 8 win and talked about how important it is to win the turnover battle, and noted what makes Jalen Hurts so impressive.

Eagles Rookie Report Card: Cooper DeJean makes big plays in Bengals game

The Eagles played their best, most complete game of the season after a road win in Cincinnati. Offense, defense, and special teams came together to deliver a 37-17 smack down of a surging Bengals team to get the Eagles to 5-2. While the Birds only had two rookies making major contributions, they were major.

Quinyon Mitchell: C

Quinyon Mitchell has set the bar so high this season that yesterday’s solid game is sub-par for him. Mitchell had to guard Ja’Marr Chase, who might be the best receiver in the NFL this year, and he had some good snaps and...

Report: Jaguars might be without their top 3 receivers against the Eagles

Report: Jaguars might be without their top 3 receivers against the Eagles

Jacksonville is looking banged up ahead of Week 9.

The Philadelphia Eagles are facing a Jacksonville Jaguars team that might be missing some combination of their top three wide receivers in Week 9. Here are some updates on Brian Thomas Jr., Christian Kirk, and Gabe Davis ... among others.

BRIAN THOMAS JR.

The Jags’ receiving leader “could miss two-to-four weeks with a chest/rib injury suffered Sunday,” according to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. But apparently there’s some optimism Thomas Jr. might actually be available for this week’s game?

If Thomas Jr. can’t play, the Jags will be without their rookie...

The Eagles Lead the NFL in Offensive Plays of 40+ Yards

If I asked you to recall a handful of big offensive plays from the Eagles’ three-game winning streak, what’s the first one that comes to mind?

Is it DeVonta Smith’s end zone bomb from Sunday afternoon? Saquon Barkley’s big run(s) in the Meadowlands? Jalen Hurts hitting A.J. Brown down the sideline on fourth and 3, for a touchdown?

There have been a lot of those plays in recent weeks, so much so that the Birds are one of the best big play offenses in the NFL. Here’s what the Sportradar data says:

Three Things to Love About Jalen Hurts’ Cincinnati Performance

Three Things to Love About Jalen Hurts’ Cincinnati Performance

Jalen Hurts played his best game of the season on Sunday afternoon in Cincy, leading the Eagles’ offense to 37 road points and a third-straight win.

There are a lot of places to start with that performance.

You can talk about the deep bomb to DeVonta Smith (we will). You can talk about his success in the running game, even putting the Brotherly Shove to off the side. I personally thought the best thing he did all day was audible to a zone read on the touchdown run where he cooked first-round draft pick Myles Murphy and got a great...

Fresh off the Cowboys’ defense giving up 30 points and 469 yards, Trevon Diggs went to confront a Cowboys reporter about a tweet during the game and hit him with a “deez nuts” line like it’s 2013 and Vine is back:

Roob’s Observations: Eagles blow out Bengals in Cincinnati - NBCSP
3. This was the best Jalen Hurts has looked in a long, long time. Probably since the first Dallas game last year. He completed 16 of 20 passes for 236 yards with a 45-yard TD to DeVonta Smith, three rushing TDs and for the fourth straight game no interceptions. He spread the ball around, he made great decisions, he got rid of the ball fast, he just looked super engaged and it seemed like his...
