The Philadelphia Eagles got some bad news after making the playoffs yesterday. Roughly a dozen Eagles players including Fletcher Cox, Dallas Goedert, and Jason Kelce have all tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday.

Fortunately for Philadelphia, based on the updated Covid protocols, they all have a chance to be cleared in time for Saturday's game versus their rival, Dallas Cowboys. Even if these players are not back, it doesn't do too much for Philadelphia because they should still be able to get them back by the time the playoffs come around unless something very odd happened.

After starting the season as a team that looked like they did not have a chance of making the playoffs, Philadelphia really turned it around. They took care of business against teams that they were supposed to beat. Many people expected the Eagles to be a 5 win team this year, but they have won nine games and are now going to be a part of the NFC playoffs.
