In a game flexed to Sunday Night Football, the Atlanta Falcons traveled to the nation’s capital to face the Commanders in a matchup with massive […]

If there’s one thing society seems to be becoming increasingly poor at, it’s sharing — but in the interest of the season of giving, I’m here to make the case that Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson should be crowned co-MVPs and share the NFL’s highest individual award this year. Individually, they’ve both proven themselves invaluable […]

NFL quarterbacks buying expensive Christmas presents for their offensive linemen has become a staple of the holiday season, but in recent years the practice has become a veritable gift-measuring contest — and never more so than in 2024. It seems to be as much about giving as one-upping at this point, but what else would […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC, but they have a decision to make with running back Saquon Barkley, who is 99 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s rushing record. Will Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni play Barkley against his old team, the New York Giants, to let him […]

It has looked like for a while that Saquon Barkley would surpass the 2,000-yard threshold as a rusher. He came out of the gates hot and was even able to become the Philadelphia Eagles’ single-season rushing leader over LeSean McCoy by Week 14. In Week 17, with 167 rushing yards (which was his third most […]

Heading into Week 18, no one will be watching Saquon Barkley and the Philadephia Eagles’ showdown against the New York Giants closer than Eric Dickerson. That’s right, while Dickerson hasn’t taken the field for an NFL game since all the way back in 1993 – which was before Barkley was even born – the Los […]

On Sunday afternoon, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 167 yards in a 41-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. On his final attempt of the day, a 23-yard scamper off left tackle early in the 4th quarter, Barkley became the 9th player in NFL history to reach the 2,000 mark. This run not only […]

The Philadelphia Eagles clinched the NFC East division in Week 17 after defeating the Dallas Cowboys, and they’ll be looking to get back to the Super Bowl.

The Philadelphia Eagles clinched the NFC East and the team could still end up with the number one seed in the conference. But Philly took on the Dallas Cowboys Sunday without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, who suffered a concussion early in Week 16’s matchup against the Washington Commanders. Kenny Pickett filled in but was forced […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has joined an elite club after eclipsing 2,000 rushing yards for the season during the Eagles’ 41-7 demolition of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Barkley carried the ball a season-high 31 times for 167 yards, pushing his season total to 2,005 yards. His dominant performance not only solidified his […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles signed Saquon Barkley to a three-year, $37 million deal this past March, there was no way that anyone within the organization could’ve expected the former All-Pro running back to have this big of an impact. Sure, you’d hope that Barkley would thrive in Philadelphia’s run heavy offense, but to expect that heading […]

As the fantasy football season reaches its thrilling conclusion in Week 17, the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s championship week! For the fantasy football managers still in the hunt, every lineup decision holds the power to determine eternal glory or crushing disappointment.

And then there were two, Philadelphia Eagles fans.

As the NFL regular season nears its conclusion, tensions between fans of the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants are escalating in unusual ways. Eagles fans reportedly plan to take a jab at their division rivals by flying a banner over Lincoln Financial Field during the Giants’ Week 18 matchup against Philadelphia. The message? […]

Former Philadelphia Eagles and Hall of Fame safety Brian Dawkins believes it’ll be Saquon Barkley who ultimately wins the 2024 NFL MVP award. The veteran running back is in his first year with the Eagles and is within striking distance of breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards set in 1984. Barkley is […]

Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson remains skeptical about Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles surpassing his single-season rushing record. “I don’t think he’ll break it. But if he breaks it, he breaks it. Do I want him to break it? Absolutely not. I don’t pull no punches on that. But I’m […]

The Philadelphia Eagles brutally missed out on extending their winning streak to 11 games this past Sunday, collapsing in the fourth quarter versus the Washington Commanders. They did not let the stunning 36-33 loss ruin their Christmas spirit, however. Morale seems to be high, at least as far as the offensive line is concerned. Jalen […]

The Philadelphia Eagles’ incredible win streak was snapped on Sunday, as Saquon Barkley and company suffered a 36-33 loss on the road at the hands of Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders.

Sure, the league continues to dazzle with last-minute touchdowns, improbable comebacks, and unforgettable performances. However, one name remains firmly atop the NFL MVP leaderboard: Josh Allen. The Buffalo Bills quarterback […]

And then, there were three, Philadelphia Eagles fans. That’s right, after splitting four games to start off the year, landing what ended up being a perfectly-timed bye in Week 5, and then ripping off ten-straight wins against teams ranging from very good – the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers – to very bad – the […]

Oh, what a difference a few months can make, Philadelphia Eagles fans. You see, I was there when Nick Sirianni couldn’t possibly keep his job into 2024. I was there when Bill Belichick was definitely going to take his job. I was there when Kellen Moore was going to take over head coaching job mid-season […]

In Week 15, when the Philadelphia Eagles were stranded deep in their own territory on a drive in the fourth quarter, they called on a fan-favorite running back to march the team down the field and ultimately ice out the game on a near-quarter-spanning drive: Saquon Barkley Kenneth Gainwell. That’s right, with a win nearly […]

In one of two games this Sunday between teams with at least ten wins, the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers will take the field in the City of Brotherly Love in what should be one of the most competitive matchups in the Battle for Pennsylvania, a seldom-seen in-state rival game that dates back to 1933. […]

The NFL season moves to Week 15, and the MVP race is heating up. There are now just four real candidates for the 2024 NFL MVP Award, and in Week 14, the leader of this list may have wrapped up the trophy. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen made NFL history in a thrilling 44-42 loss […]

In Week 14, the Philadelphia Eagles kept things a bit too close for comfort against the Carolina Panthers. Now granted, they still won, have kept their win streak alive for the past nine weeks, and even clinched their place in the postseason no matter how the last four weeks of the 2024 NFL season shakes […]

The NFC playoff picture is starting to take shape after Week 14, and one team in particular is feeling good about how things turned out: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who now hold sole possession of the NFC South. For weeks, the Atlanta Falcons controlled the division and occupied the No. 4 seed in the NFC. […]

In Week 14, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Carolina Panthers 22-16.

The Philadelphia Eagles made the smart decision to sign Saquon Barkley last offseason and it’s paid off in a big way. The running back is in the MVP conversation and a huge reason the Birds are one of the best teams in the NFL. On Sunday, Barkley also made franchise history. He became the new […]

In Week 13, the Philadelphia Eagles turned in about as good a game as they could in a dominant win over the Baltimore Ravens. Yes, they still started the game off slowly. Yes, Justin Tucker missed multiple field goals and even an extra point to take effectively a touchdown off the board for the Ravens. […]

In Week 13, the Philadelphia Eagles finally did it. Taking the field as underdogs for the first time since their Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Nick Sirianni’s team lined up against the other best rushing team in the NFL, one boasting an elite passing game and an elite run defense to boot that […]

It’s no secret that Saquon Barkley is on another level this season.
