As the regular season winds down, and in the famous words of Jim Mora, “Playoffs?” are right around the corner.
The San Francisco 49ers are stuck in a four-game losing streak. They opened the season with wins over the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, but they have faced a tough schedule and struggled. Starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has missed time, and backup Trey Lance is currently injured.
The 2021 NFL trade deadline is a few weeks away, but the Philadelphia Eagles already shipped off veteran tight end Zach Ertz to the Arizona Cardinals. In an obvious rebuilding year, more trades will likely come before November 2.
It is time to continue identifying the 100 best players in football. This is part six of 11.
The Philadelphia Eagles traded Carson Wentz this offseason and now are ready to see what they have in Jalen Hurts. What is their outlook going into the 2021 season?
On Monday, the Detroit Lions were announced as the 30th-ranked team in these power rankings. Today, we take a look at the Philadelphia Eagles, who rank 29th and are the last team in tier seven in the rankings.
The Philadelphia Eagles had a rough 2020 season. They have one of the worst cap situations in the NFL and will have to do a lot of maneuvering this offseason.
In this week’s Monday Night Football matchup, the 7-3 Seattle Seahawks travel to Philadelphia to take on the 3-6-1 Eagles. The Seahawks have won the previous five meetings, including twice last year, in Week 12 and the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
As we head toward the top 20, and the NFL season, here is Splash’s Top 100 for 2020: 30-21.
Every year the NFL Network does its top 100 countdown based on the previous season. However, that’s the past, and we want to look forward to the future. Four of our writers have put together a 14 part series, predicting our top 10 at each position. We’ve also included the most under and overrated at each position.
Just two seasons ago, a Detroit Lions victory at Lincoln Financial Field seemed nearly impossible. The Lions had fired Jim Caldwell after what felt like the franchise was at a standstill. The Eagles and Doug Pederson were led by Nick Foles after a Carson Wentz injury forced the team to change quarterback hands. They were led to a Super Bowl, something Lions have hoped just to get to since the Lombardi Trophy Era started.
The Philadelphia Eagles 2018 season was very injury-filled, but they used the “Next Man Up” mentality like in their Super Bowl winning season the year prior, and still made it to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. They ultimately fell to the Saints, 20-14, but Nick Foles brought some magic again when Carson Wentz went down for the season with another injury, to will the Eagles into the playoffs. He went 4-1 in the five games he started and threw seven touchdown passes with a 72.3 completion percentage. The biggest question for the 2019 season is whether Philadelphia can stay healthy, especially Wentz. If that happens, the Super Bowl is their ceiling and expectations will be running high.
