The first-half boos turned to second-half cheers when the Eagles hosted the Washington Redskins in their season-opener Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field before 69,696 fans. In the process, Carson Wentz put any fears to rest about being rusty because he didn’t take any snaps during the pre-season games. He couldn’t have played any better. He […]
Usually, the Eagles are the kicking team to begin an NFL game and are the receiving team to begin the second half. Coach Doug Pederson has his reasons for doing so and they make good sense. But on Monday night, it was the Eagles who received the opening kickoff and it worked to their advantage […]
A few days after millions of Americans gave thanks for good health and good friends and family, the Eagles gave thanks for still having a shot at the post-season. But first they had to play the visiting New York Giants Sunday afternoon in an NFC clash in front of 69,696 onlookers. For the second year […]
For the third time this season, the Eagles needed to win to get back to a respectable .500 record. The first two times they were successful with wins over lesser opponents, the New York Giants and the Jacksonville Jaguars. But this time it was different. They were on the road against the New Orleans Saints. […]

A couple of teams trying to remain respectable in the NFL met at a neutral site Sunday morning. The Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars travelled across the Atlantic Ocean and endured an eight-hour flight to play in London’s Wembley Stadium before 85,870 onlookers, curiosity seekers and people who otherwise didn’t really have much else to […]
After a one-game respite from their tendency of having to scratch and claw at the end of a game, the Eagles are back to letting a team off the hook they’re dominating, squandering a lead in the second-half and having to withstand a loss that is both mind-boggling and frustrating. The latest example of this […]
If the Eagles did anything last season, they went out and played with energy and focus and it was the driving force to their greatest season ever. They’re playing this season with a decreased lack of energy and focus and a main reason for their 2-3 record in an NFC East Division that could be […]
A rematch of last season’s NFC Championship will be played Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field when the Eagles host the Minnesota Vikings (4:25 p.m.). The game was won decisively by the Eagles and was followed up by their Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots. This time around their is no conference championship at […]
The third time was not the charm for the Eagles when they visited Nashville Sunday to play the Tennessee Titans in an NFL inter-conference game.
