It seemed like any time the Philadelphia Eagles needed something big defensively during Wild Card Weekend, Nolan Smith was the one making the play. That’s right, from his big sacks on Jordan Love, one on third-and-3 in the second quarter and the other on first-and-10 on the Packers’ final drive, to his relentless pressure that […]

Though it was an ugly 22-10 win for the Philadelphia Eagles as Saquon Barkley said, beating the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the NFL Playoffs, it seemed to be a trend from the players that they will take the victory nonetheless. As Eagles star Jalen Hurts returned after being in concussion protocol, […]

With the Philadelphia Eagles having secured their spot in the playoffs with multiple game weeks to spare, the opportunity was there for them to rest quarterback Jalen Hurts to make sure that he was going to be in tip-top shape for when the postseason came around. Hurts had been nursing a concussion over the past […]

Before diving headfirst into this topic, it’s important to note that this article is not easy to write. This Philadelphia Eagles team is a true juggernaut. After a disappointing 2024 season, head coach Nick Sirianni has revamped his coaching staff and roster. Some key additions include hiring accomplished offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and signing Pro Bowl running […]

Since signing a one-year, $3.5 million contract to join the Philadelphia Eagles during the offseason, Zack Baun has been experiencing an absolute whirlwind the likes of which he never could have imagined at the NFL level. Originally drafted in the third round out of Wisconsin, Baun was largely used as a rotational rushing outside linebacker […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles gear up for their big Wild Card Round showdown against the Green Bay Packers at Lincoln Financial Field, fan sentiment has been mixed, to say the least, as the excitement surrounding the game has been dimmed somewhat by Kellen Moore’s future. You see, just one year after landing in Philadelphia, Moore […]

On paper, the Philadelphia Eagles are facing off against an above-average defense in the Wild Card Round of the 2025 NFL playoffs. Despite ranking finishing in the NFC North at 11-6, the Packers have found a way to get things done in all facets of the defensive side of the ball, ranking 13th in passing […]

The Green Bay Packers could absolutely beat the Philadelphia Eagles on the road over Wild Card weekend. But if the Eagles are full strength, that’s going to tough sledding for the Pack. Remember, these two teams got together to kick off the 2024 NFL Season in Sao Paulo, Brazil back in September, and the Eagles […]

After being a largely forgotten part of the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense for the vast majority of the 2024 NFL season, few fans expected Jahan Dotson to do much of anything in Week 18 against the New York Giants. One of the few starters who actually played in the regular season finale, Dotson had the game […]

With Jalen Hurts still in concussion protocol and Kenny Pickett on the mend from an aggravated rib injury, Tanner McKee was thrust into action in Week 18 and did a bang-up job for the Philadelphia Eagles, completing 27 of his 41 attempts for 269 yards plus two touchdowns.  McKee looked cool under pressure, showed some […]

The Philadelphia Eagles wrapped up the 2024 NFL season with a 20-13 victory over the New York Giants, setting up a showdown with the Green Bay Packers in the postseason. But right now, star quarterback Jalen Hurts has been in the midst of concussion protocol, and did not play on Sunday against the Giants. He […]

Heading into Week 18, the Philadelphia Eagles are going to look very different from the juggernaut that won 13 of their last 16 games heading into the regular season finale. For one thing, Saquon Barkley will not be on the field, as his pursuit of the single-season rushing has officially been ended by Nick Sirianni […]

After collapsing down the stretch of the 2023 campaign, the Philadelphia Eagles have bounced back resoundingly, posting a 13-3 record and locking up the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoff picture as we head into the final week of the regular season. As a result, questions about head coach Nick Sirianni’s job security have […]

The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17 as running back Saquon Barkley became the ninth player to reach 2,000 rushing yards in a season. The veteran RB is in striking distance of breaking Eric Dickerson’s long standing rushing record. However, with a meaningless game against the New York Giants in Week 18, […]

When news broke that Saquon Barkley was not going to play in the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants, the one person fans wanted to hear from – save SB 2K himself – was head coach Nick Sirianni. Now granted, the decision was controversial, to say the least, with […]

Heading into Week 18’s game against the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is 101 yards away from becoming the NFL’s all-time leading single-season rusher. When Week 18 comes to an end, Barkley will almost certainly still be 101 yards short of Eric Dickerson’s record, as Nick Sirianni has made the controversial […]

When Kenny Pickett had to leave Week 17 after aggravating his rib injury, the Philadelphia Eagles had to turn to Tanner McKee to close out the game. The results, as it turned out, were very good, with the pride of Stanford completing three of his four passing attempts for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Discussing […]

When Tanner McKee connected with AJ Brown for his first career touchdown during the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 17 win over the Dallas Cowboys, it was a big deal for the player affectionately known as the “Morman Missle.” Originally drafted in the sixth round out of Stanford back in 2023, McKee patiently waited his turn for […]

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 […]

While there are a lot of ways to describe Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, passion is undoubtedly one of them. One of the winningest coaches in the NFL since he entered the league, Sirianni wears his heart on his sleeve, even when some fans want him to chill the heck out. And for the […]

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 […]

In Week 16, CJ Gardner-Johnson was ejected from the Philadelphia Eagles’ game against the Washington Commanders after recording his second personal foul call of the game… and then his team lost. Now granted, the Eagles didn’t lose because CJGJ wasn’t on the field, at least not fully, as their defense fell apart down the stretch, […]

When news broke that the Philadelphia Eagles were bringing former Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book off of the street to serve as their fourth rostered quarterback as a member of the practice squad, it spelled very bad news for Jalen Hurts’ chances to play in Week 17. After largely sticking with their top-3 guns for […]

When news broke that Jalen Hurts was officially out for the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys, having to watch the team’s second Kelly Green game of the season from home instead of home field, it left fans bummed out. Sure, Dallas isn’t great, down CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott for the […]

With two games remaining in the 2024 regular season, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is still unsure who his starting quarterback will be in Week 17. Jalen Hurts left Week 16 with an injury and was replaced by Kenny Pickett, leaving his current status up in the air. However, ahead of the team’s matchup […]

The Washington Commanders pulled off one of the most memorable victories of the season when they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 36-33 in Week 16. It was a remarkable comeback effort and put an end to Philadelphia’s 10-game winning streak. After the game, players and coaches met each other on the field in traditional fashion, but […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday, they have some concerns regarding the quarterback position filled with such names as Jalen Hurts and backup Kenny Pickett. While Hurts continues to be in concussion protocol for the Eagles, they look to Pickett to lead the team, though he is dealing with a […]

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a rough 36-33 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 16, but there was a bit of an altercation after the game as well between head coach Nick Sirianni and former Eagles fan favorite Zach Ertz, now a member of the Commanders. Eagles chief security officer Dom DiSandro, known as ‘Big […]

You know, there’s really no two ways about it: the Philadelphia Eagles played sloppy football against the Washington Commanders in Week 16. Need proof? Well, look no further than head coach Nick Sirianni, who used that exact verbiage to describe his team’s poor efforts across the board, from offense, to defense, and even special teams. […]

While Kenny Pickett was struggling to get much going through the air in the second half of Week 16 and especially when news broke after the game that he suffered a potential rib injury, fans of the Philadelphia Eagles had one collective thought: could Tanner McKee see some action before the end of the 2024 […]

In Week 16, the Philadelphia Eagles learned that in football, like in life, nothing good can last forever. That’s right, after winning every single game they’ve played since September, besting teams good, bad, and somewhere in between, the Eagles were officially dealt their third loss of the season in a Week 16 stunner at the […]

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a tough 36-33 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a rough 36-33 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday, and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni got brutally honest on the team’s play in the game. “Sloppy with penalties. Sloppy with too many men on the field,” Nick Sirianni said, via Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. “Sloppy without fundamentals. And when […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are leading the Washington Commanders 21-14 coming out of halftime, but that doesn’t mean that they’re having things all their own way in this one. The Eagles have suffered a plethora of injuries in key spots on their roster that are affecting them today and could prove costly down the road. During […]

With some of the tension and frustration boiling over for the Philadelphia Eagles, offensive lineman Lane Johnson has a simple perspective on his coach, Nick Sirianni. As the Eagles sit with a 10-2 record, the on-the-field success has been evident. Johnson spoke on the Green Light Podcast with Chris Long about how he feels his […]

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has seen Jayden Daniels ball out continuously throughout the season. Sirianni spoke to the media on Wednesday and raved about what makes the Washington Commanders quarterback so special. “He’s super dynamic, and he’s a good passer,” Sirianni said. “He’s outstanding with the ball in his hands and creating. I […]

After taking a step back in 2023 from his career-best 2022 run, Jalen Hurts’ offensive development has been one of the most underrated reasons for the Philadelphia Eagles’ success in 2024. Sure, he’s throwing the ball a bit less frequently than during his past starting seasons, and the Eagles have been embracing the run more […]

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 […]

After spending the week listening to fans question his playbook, question his team’s ceiling, and ultimately question his job for the umpteenth time this season, Nick Sirianni got his revenge in Week 15 when the Philadelphia Eagles absolutely went off through the air against the Pittsburgh Steelers, hitting nearly 300 yards on the way to […]
