Eagles fans chant “Thank you, Giants” after Saquon Barkley’s big game against the Commanders

On Thursday night, in a Week 11 divisional game, Eagles RB Saquon Barkley reached 1,000 yards rushing. It’s not the first time he’s ever reached the feat in his career, but it is the fastest he’s ever done it — and with seven weeks left, there will be plenty of opportunities to add to that milestone.

Barkley was stuffed most of the game but had two huge breakout runs for touchdowns late in the fourth quarter. Those TDs sealed the Eagles win and extended their lead at the top of the NFC East. As the RB was interviewed after the...

Skip Bayless Predicts Which Team Will Win The Super Bowl

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the rival Washington Commanders on Thursday night, improving their record to 8-2.

After the team’s 26-18 win, Fox Sports personality Skip Bayless took to social media to share his thoughts on the team’s current outlook.

“I am a Cowboy fan. Since I was 10 years old, I hated the Philadelphia Eagles. Still do…I picked the Philadelphia Eagles to win this year’s Super Bowl and I hate to admit it, I think I’m right,” Bayless said in his video.

Mitchell was not targeted on any of his coverage snaps against McLaurin and was targeted just once all night (0 receptions allowed).#WASvsPHI | #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/ivlaRKu6rx

Jake Elliott is 14 for 19 on Field Goal Attempts this Season

Jake Elliott is 14 for 19 on Field Goal Attempts this Season

Jake Elliott missed two field goals and an extra point on Thursday night in the 26-18 win against the Washington Commie Commanders.

Classic sports radio question today: “what’s your level of concern with the Eagles kicker?”

On one hand, the guy has been so clutch for so long, that if anyone has earned a free pass, a grace period, what have you, it’s Elliott. He’s hit clutch kick after clutch kick and played on the Super Bowl team. On the other hand, he’s 14 for 19 this year, which is about 73%, and he’s 0 for 4 from 50+. Coming...

Dominant Defense Leads to Win - Iggles Blitz
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense were once again a tricky group to evaluate. The final stats showed 26 points and 434 yards. Most teams would kill for that. The Eagles only had 10 points in the first three quarters and the offense bogged down in crucial situations. They were 1 for 3 in the red zone. They had some bad moments that hurt promising drives. Saquon Barkley had another monster game, going 26-146-2 on the ground...

The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 11 home win over the Washington Commanders are in! Let’s take a look and run through some analysis.

OFFENSE

  • Jordan Mailata was able to play 100% of the snaps in his first game starting at left tackle after missing four weeks due to hamstring injury. Good to see.
  • Landon Dickerson got banged up on the Eagles’ first drive. He returned to the game on their second drive. Tyler Steen briefly filled in at left guard.
  • Saquon Barkley played his third-highest snap count percentage this...

Eagles vs. Commanders: 14 winners, 4 losers, 3 IDKs

Highlight performances from Philadelphia’s Week 11 win.

The Philadelphia Eagles are 8-2 after beating the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. Six wins in a row!

Kind of crazy that they were down 10 to 6 entering the fourth quarter ... only to quickly go up 26 to 10.

Regardless of how they got it done, this was a very important victory for the Birds. They’re on a good track to win the NFC East. Even better, they’re very much in contention for the No. 1 seed.

Time to hand out some winners, losers, and IDKs.

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

Highlights and lowlights from Philadelphia’s Week 11 win.

The Eagles look an awful lot like they did last season—only in reverse. What started as a struggling team through the first four games looks stronger with each game since.

The Eagles won for the sixth-straight time Thursday night in what was a microcosm of their season—a slow start followed by an irrepressible push towards a 26-18 victory over the visiting Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles are now 8-2 and may arguably be the best team in the NFC, behind only the Detroit Lions. The Eagles now hold a...

7 tackles and one TFL in this game. And the stats tell maybe 5% of the story because the guy was blowing up what felt like every third or fourth play at the line of scrimmage. Wrecking shop over and over again. Chris Jones and Dexter Lawrence are probably the best interior defensive linemen in the game today, 1 and 2 in whatever order, but Carter’s not far behind. Cam Heyward? Quinnen Williams? Christian...

She lost out on $590 because Jalen Hurts took a knee on the final play of the game and went from 40 rushing yards to 39 rushing yards. An insanely bad beat. This is one of those things where someone has to make it right for this woman. Throw her a signed Hurts jersey or something like that. Yeah, she only lost 10 bucks, but this is one of those that haunts you forever. $590 can go a long way in this economy. You can buy...
