The Philadelphia Eagles have surprised fans and pundits around the NFL this season, not with their outstanding record but with the way that they are winning games.

During the early stages of their Wild Card matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay left the game with an elbow injury, per the team’s account on X. At the time of his injury, the Eagles claimed Slay was questionable to return. Isaiah Rodgers came in to replace Slay, though he wouldn’t […]

Nick Sirianni called it sloppy. DeVonta Smith showed up as “droppy.” And Darius Slay explained a critical penalty in the Philadelphia Eagles’ shocking last-seconds loss to the Commanders.

The in-state rivalry runs deep between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers, just ask Eagles defensive back Darius Slay and quarterback Kenny Pickett.

With their Week 13 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens rapidly approaching, the Philadelphia Eagles have officially announced the injury designation of two of their most important players, Darius Slay and DeVonta Smith.

In the third quarter, they suffered a tough loss. Eagles cornerback Darius Slay left the game against the Rams with a head injury. He will […]

With ten games officially on the books, it’s hard to argue that the Philadelphia Eagles Rookie of the Year Award should go to anyone other than Quinyon Mitchell, the first-round cornerback out of Toledo who has played 96 percent of the team’s defensive snaps. Originally taking second-team snaps behind Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers over […]

When Darius Slay left the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 8 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, it called his immediate future into disarray. On one hand, the Eagles were able to hold up well without Slay, with Isaiah Rodgers turning a defensed pass into an interception to CJ Gardner-Johnson. But when you consider that Slay is a […]

The Philadelphia Eagles completely dominated the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, but it came with the loss of one of their key defensive players.

It’s hard enough for the Philadelphia Eagles as they navigate the ups and downs of an overall young defense. That’s especially true when their head coach has trouble keeping his cool with the fans. And they also have to deal with rough injury updates for Jalen Carter and Darius Slay ahead of the clash with […]

After watching his head coach, Nick Sirianni, chirp at fans and opposing players alike during the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns, it seemed like everyone had an opinion. Some loved the energy. Others were annoyed. And others still found it distracting from the task at hand. But what did the players […]

Just after they got two of their top pass-catching options back in AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles lost another weapon in the passing game.

Though it hasn’t always been pretty, the Baltimore Ravens are currently sitting in first place in the AFC North.

As the Philadelphia Eagles gear up for their first game back from the bye, fans already have another date marked on their calendar: November 5th. That’s right, while there have been some good moments, some bad moments, and some ugly moments too for the Eagles in September, it’s hard to argue that their current team […]

Philadelphia Eagles fans may have been looking at Darius Slay differently after he went on Micah Parsons’ podcast recently. Slay must be feeling the heat, because he went on his own podcast and addressed the situation, and his reasoning as to why he went on Parsons’ podcast. “I feel as [if] a lot of Eagles […]

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay left Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an apparent injury, according to Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports.

The Philadelphia Eagles were vocal about traveling to Brazil for their Week 1 matchup with the Green Bay Packers, with Darius Slay in particular saying he didn’t want to go to Sao Paulo for the season opener, while DeVonta Smith refused to comment. While Slay has since apologized, the fans in Brazil weren’t so forgiving. […]

After saying he didn’t want to play in Brazil, Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay has backtracked his earlier comments and apologized. Still, it didn’t keep New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton from clearing up the NFL-Brazil mix-up with people mistaking him for Darius Slay. The WR took to X, formerly Twitter, to clear up […]

After sitting through a brutal 2023 season that saw the Philadelphia Eagles take a step back at seemingly every step along the way from the 2022 heights of Nick Sirianni’s head coaching career, Jalen Hurts and company are flying high so far this summer under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. The offense has looked new […]

Jerry Jones made some questionable remarks about giving Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb a new contract, but he quickly retracted the statement.

[…]

The terms underrated and underappreciated get thrown around much more liberally than they probably should, but in some cases, those are the exact tags that should be bestowed upon some of the best under the radar players in the NFL. One player who has a solid case to make as one of the league’s most underappreciated wide receivers is Cleveland Browns […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are out for revenge. After going all the way to the Super Bowl in 2022-23, the Eagles struggled mightily in the 2023 season. The record doesn’t show it, but the entire team did not play at the same level they did before. Now, Philly is looking for redemption as they look for […]

As the 2024 NFL offseason continues in full swing, the Seattle Seahawks find themselves at a crucial juncture.

Head coach Nick Sirianni and the Philadelphia Eagles are currently in the process of trying to revamp their roster this offseason to help make amends for what was a disastrous close to the 2023 NFL season.

The Philadelphia Eagles were the class of the NFC during the 2022 season, and they were on their way to defending that title last year when the team went into an end-of-season slump that cost them the NFC East title. A series of moves in the offseason — with the most important being the retirement […]

For most NFL teams, an 11-6 record would constitute an unmitigated success. For the Philadelphia Eagles, it’s leading to major changes during the 2024 offseason. Out for the Eagles are offensive coordinator Brian Johnson and defensive coordinator Sean Desai, as well as defensive play caller Matt Patricia. Replacing them are Kellen Moore on the offensive […]

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a crushing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their NFC Wild Card matchup. The Eagles’ 32-9 loss was a shocker, but not as stunning as an injury to Eagles cornerback Darius Slay. The Bucs displayed a heartwarming gesture to the star amid his rough game. The Buccaneers show love to […]

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay was carted off with 6:11 left in Monday night’s game against the Tampa bay Buccaneers.

Nick Sirianni’s schematics do not seem to be working well enough to scare the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

But, holes started to show up as Darius Slay went down […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have already secured a ticket to the NFL playoffs, but their form is still far from ideal.

Eagles have […]

Prior to the Philadelphia Eagles’ most recent loss against the Seattle Seahawks, it was announced that the team would undergo a switch in defensive play-calling duties.

Back during Darius Slay’s tenure with the Detroit Lions, it was well known that he and then-head coach Matt Patricia never got along with each other. Now both with the Philadelphia Eagles, with Patricia being the current de facto defensive coordinator, it seems that things have changed for the better. Slay and Patricia have apparently […]

The Philadelphia Eagles made a major defensive coaching change this past week, handing play-calling duties from defensive coordinator Sean Desai to defensive assistant Matt Patricia. The decision came after the defense gave up over 30 points in three straight weeks to the Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. It’s understandable that Philadelphia wanted […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have spent much of the 2023 campaign in cruise control, but they have hit a few roadblocks over the past two weeks, suffering tough losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys in consecutive weeks. The hope is that they will be able to bounce back in Week 15 against the […]

The Philadelphia Eagles earned a hard-fought 37-34 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 12 to push their record on the season to 10-1, and it’s safe to say that this was probably the most thrilling game of the entire 2023 NFL season to this point. Of course, things wouldn’t have gone this way […]
