Facing the Rams in Week 5, the Eagles opened up a 27-point lead and nearly let it slip away. In Week 6, facing a division rival, they opened up the same lead and never looked back. The Eagles scored 10 points in the first quarter and 10 more in the second quarter to open up […]
With the bye week coming next week, the battered Eagles are about to get some relief with a week off from game action. But first, a crucial division rival stands in their way from an amazing start and a lot of questions. The Eagles get the New York Giants, a team that comes in firing […]
