When the Philadelphia Eagles came up short against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12, it felt like a fluke.

When news broke that Darius Slay and the Pittsburgh Steelers had agreed to mutually part ways after their single-season partnership went south, fans around the NFL pegged one specific team with whom “Big Play” should take the field next: the Philadelphia Eagles.

With the College Football Playoff rapidly approaching, fans, pundits, and coaches alike seemingly all have opinions on who should and shouldn’t get a chance at the January dance.

After spending the 2024-25 NBA season as the captain of a sinking ship, Tyrese Maxey returned to the Philadelphia 76ers on a mission to prove he can be the top option on a championship-caliber team.

When the dust had settled and the World Series parade confetti had been cleared away, fans openly wondered if Game 7 was Max Muncy’s final hurrah in a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform.

Of all the changes that have come to the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense in 2025, one of the most surprising has been the declining frequency at which Jalen Hurts has called his own number and run the ball.

Could that […]

After a weekend’s worth of rumors, speculation, and late-night reporting, Lane Kiffin made his next coaching destination official: LSU.

To say the 2025 college football season went the way South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer expected would be a massive mischaracterization.

On paper, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts outgunned Caleb Williams on Black Friday. Hurts finished out the game with more completions on fewer attempts, recording one more touchdown with the same number of interceptions to go with an RTG of 84.2, which is 27.3 higher than the Chicago Bears’ signal caller’s 56.9.

They’ve lost to three teams with a combined record of 16-17-1 through Week 12, have had games where they can’t run and/or throw the ball, and have seemingly forgotten how to play football for entire halves of games, many of which they somehow won.

Why can’t Kevin Patullo just run a normal offense with the Philadelphia Eagles? Initially joining Nick Sirianni’s staff in 2021 after working together with the Indianapolis Colts, Patullo has watched the offense shine under Shane Steichen, struggle under Brian Johnson, and then become a run-heavy juggernaut helmed by Kellen Moore and through it all, he’s […]

In 2024, the Philadelphia Eagles turned in one of the best rushing seasons of all time.
