Trent Cole and Brandon Graham combined for four sacks against Carson Palmer, limiting Larry Fitzgerald's impact. They'll have to repeat that success against the Lions Sunday. Matthew Stafford gets rid of the football quickly and when he does, it's usually to the awaiting hands of Calvin Johnson. That combination could present quite a quandary for […]
Chip Kelly's Eagles have averaged just 4.83 points per game in the fourth quarter, but it hasn't cost them a game-yet. They say once is an accident, twice a trend and three times is a habit. If the saying holds true, then Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles are at risk of developing a troubling […]
Jason Kelce and his offensive line teammates are paying little mind to the reputation of the Detroit Lions and Ndamukong Suh.

Chip Kelly's Eagles may have just found a secret weapon in punter Donnie Jones. Two weeks ago Jones took home NFC Special Teams Player of The Week Honors after a monstrous performance that […]
Calvin Johnson has earned the nickname 'Megatron' and represents the Eagles toughest test. On Sunday the Philadelphia Eagles limited Larry Fitzgerald, at least by Larry Fitzgerald standards. Their reward for their efforts? A showdown with the Detroit Lions and All-World receiver Calvin Johnson this week. Fitzgerald, who is on pace to post close to career-best […]
Eagles cornerback Cary Williams was not pleased Tuesday with the complaining from Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals about the officiating in Sinday's game. Cary Williams has a pretty simple and succinct message for Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians and his players: Stop your crying. Arians of course sent 15 plays to the league […]
Does this guy have a place in Philly now?Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. In case you missed it in the glow of the Sixers double-OT, MCW triple-double performance of a win, the Phillies were active last night. The game changer moves? The Phillies sent Erik Kratz and Rob Rasmussen to Toronto for right-handed reliever Brad […]
In a trade that sends catcher Erik Kratz and Rob Rasmussen to Toronto, the Phillies have acquired pitcher Brad Lincoln.
