It has been smooth sailing for the Philadelphia Eagles for most of this season, but from time to time, they’ll also have to deal with some bad breaks. Take for example the sudden appearance of wide receiver Alshon Jeffery’s name on the injury report with an ankle issue on Thursday, per Josh Alper of Pro […]

Jay Ajayi made quite a debut for his new team, the Philadelphia Eagles. The third-year running back had 77 yards on just eight carries, including a 46-yard run for a touchdown against the league-best Denver Broncos run defense in a 51-23 Eagles win. This has, apparently, set well with head coach Doug Pederson. After that […]

2017 has been a year filled with high expectations for the Dallas Cowboys. Unfortunately, things have taken a turn for the worst after their 27-7 thrashing at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons. Things do not get any easier for ‘America’s Team’ either with a Week 11 matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Although the Eagles […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are firing on all cylinders after getting off to a league-best 8-1 start to the 2017 NFL season. Although most of the credit has gone to the stellar play of quarterback Carson Wentz and their high-octane offense, the defense has also been one of the most formidable units in the league. The […]

The Philadelphia Eagles scored a ton of points against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. A relatively shocking thing, as Denver has one of the better defenses in the entire National Football League. Though, to be fair, it appears the Eagles do have one of the best offenses. In terms of points scored, Philly hung 51 […]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is having an MVP caliber season. Not too shabby for a player in only his second season of National Football League action.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi’s status remains uncertain for this Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. Ajayi joined the Eagles via a trade with the Miami Dolphins prior to the trading deadline. Head coach Doug Pederson noted that no decision has been made on Ajayi’s availability during Friday’s press conference. Pederson still has solid […]

The Philadelphia Eagles made a huge splash at the trade deadline, acquiring Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi for only a fourth-round pick.

Happy Halloween in the National Football League or something. The Miami Dolphins have traded talented running back Jay Ajayi to the Philadelphia Eagles only a few hours before the trade deadline is set to expire. The Dolphins traded running back Jay Ajayi to the Eagles for a fourth-round draft pick, according to multiple reports. This is […]

Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson things very highly of quarterback Carson Wentz. So much so, in fact, he compared him to former teammate and Hall of Fame gunslinger Brett Favre. “He’s definitely a physical football player.

NFL Week 7 featured multiple teams earning credibility as Super Bowl contenders, including perhaps the Los Angeles Rams. Unfortunately, it also exhibited how far the league’s worst teams have fallen, and it showed how inconsistent others are (like the Carolina Panthers). Here is a look at the highs and lows of a weekend that showed […]

The Philadelphia Eagles remain one of the more enjoyable National Football Leagues to watch. This is thanks in large part to quarterback Carson Wentz, who is unafraid to hurl the football down the field more than five yards at a clip. None of this is lost on Eagles head coach Doug Pederson. Pederson, who could […]

Jay Gruden must have lost some of the fight.

The coach noted that his team has now been swept by the Eagles this season, and […]

All things considered, Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden is content with having Kirk Cousins as his team’s field general. Having said that, Gruden gushed when talking about the second-year Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz as if he wanted the former No. 2 pick overall on his team. In an interview with Dave Zangaro of […]

Now here is a cause that will not divide the nation. Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long is donating all his game checks for the remaining 10 games of the NFL regular season to charitable institutions that focus on education.

It’s not fun to be an Aaron Rodgers fantasy football owner right now, as the injured quarterback is going to be as useful to your team as Jared Lorenzen. There are options, however, to soften the blow of Rodgers’ loss, two of which we have listed below. As always, wide receivers and running backs are […]

Watt’s) struck a number of the game’s biggest stars. Here is a look at the highs and lows from Week 5 of the NFL season: […]

Injuries and bye weeks are the top challenges for fantasy football managers next week.

There is so much to process following another eventful week in the NFL. A lot of it has something to do with injuries to some popular fantasy football starters.

Quarterback Carson Wentz might have to dine on nothing but crackers and spray cheese until next week.

Any betting man would agree that the […]

The winless New York Giants aren’t making their fanbase happy so far. Another one who’s doesn’t like what he sees from the team is the franchise’s owner himself, John Mara.

Unfortunately, during Sunday’s game against the division rival New York Giants, the Eagles lost one of their most versatile players to injury. Running back Darren Sproles went […]

LeGarrette Blount thought that the Philadelphia Eagles signed him in the offseason to help the team boost its rushing attack. Two games into the season, that has yet to manifest on the Eagles’ usage of Blount, especially in Week 2 when the running back registered zero carries and had just one in a 27-20 road […]

Dion Waiters is a proud Philadelphian, while Kevin Durant is a D.C. kid. So when Waiters’ Philadelphia Eagles and Durant’s Washington Redskins met in Week 1 of the NFL season, the former Oklahoma City teammates decided to take in the big game between the two rivals together live. There was a short video posted on […]

Apart from familiarizing himself with a new environment, among the things that Alshon Jeffery will have to get accustomed to in the NFC East is hearing Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman talk smack on a regular basis.

Eagles fans have a reputation for berating opposing players from warmups through the final whistle. Their best insults are reserved for players on rival teams, especially those they believe they can shake up. That’s what makes Odell Beckham Jr. the perfect target for Philly’s wrath. Ahead of the Giants‘ showdown with the Eagles on Thursday […]

Terrell Owens can still ball like the old times. The 43-year-old was hooping it up at the Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, showcasing his touch from beyond the arc and his athleticism on defense, ruthlessly swatting a shot into his team’s hands. T.O. drained a sweet-looking corner three off the baseline curl, only to run […]

During his six years in Philadelphia, DeSean Jackson was a deadly deep threat for the Eagles‘ offensive attack.
