The Philadelphia Eagles are arguably the best team in the NFL heading into Week 12. Carson Wentz and company have a 9-1 record while appearing to be on a mission this season.

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 […]

Last Sunday, Matt Lombardo of NJ.com, implied that Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount is in danger of getting cut by the team. Despite the fact that he has opened both preseason games atop the depth chart and been given the bulk of the snaps and carries with the first-team offense, it wouldn’t be surprising […]

There’s no doubting that Carson Wentz‘ rookie year is off to an impressive start. Through three games, he’s yet to throw an interception while leading the Eagles to a 3-0 record.
