The Philadelphia Eagles are beginning to utilize Jordan Howard more often in the offense.

The Philadelphia Eagles managed to secure their biggest win of the 2019 NFL season in the road against the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. Despite his modest numbers, quarterback Carson Wentz was far more efficient than he had been in recent weeks. Wentz managed to make the most of his limited throws in the […]

Most scrutiny related to the Philadelphia Eagles struggles over the first three games of the regular season concerns offense, but that’s not entirely fair.

Pederson knows that the Falcons present a different challenge, especially when they are in Atlanta and is ready for their best shot. “I still think this is a […]

The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins will take part in an NFC East bout in Week 1 this Sunday. To no one’s surprise, the Eagles are 10-point favorites, which is the largest point-spread among all 32 teams in Week 1. Entering 2019, Doug Pederson’s squad looks slightly different on both sides of the ball. On […]

Last season they won another playoff game, again with Foles. But even though they’re clearly doing something right, that doesn’t mean they’re immune to switching things up. Eagles […]

With current Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles officially out of the picture in the “City of Brotherly Love,” the reins have once again been handed over to fellow signal caller Carson Wentz.
