There was no way to escape it. Was there really any doubt? Did you really expect anything different? Carson Wentz was incredibly effective against the Eagles on Sunday—of turning Washington’s FedEx Field into the world’s largest comedy club. The current Washington Commanders’ quarterback and former Eagle was an anxious mess under pressure from his former

By Paul Domowitch Considering that we’re only two games into a 17-game marathon, there aren’t a lot of firm conclusions we can draw from the Eagles’ victories over the Lions and Vikings, other than that they’re going to be a pretty good team if they can stay healthy. But one conclusion I think
PHILADELPHIA – It was silly but some were calling for Nick Sirianni’s job after a 2-5 start last season. Win No. 2 in 2022, a dominating performance on Monday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings, has many of the same hot-take artists trumpeting Sirianni for NFL Coach of the Year. Rat poison can be obvious
PHILADELPHIA – It’s simple supply and demand when it comes to NFL quarterbacks. There are never 32 people in the world good enough to stop every NFL team to uncover every rock to try to get better at arguably the most important position in sports. That explains why Carson Wentz in the man inside the
PHILADELPHIA – Ostensibly the Eagles dominated the Minnesota Vikings during a 24-7 win on Monday night but like any NFL game there were a handful of moments that could have tilted things dramatically. Irv Smith’s drop late in the second quarter turned a potential 63-yard touchdown and a manageable 21-14 Vikings deficit at the half
The Eagles may have something tangible now to convert lofty expectations into a reality. It may be a week late, but it could not have come against a better opponent, the Minnesota Vikings, and in a better situation than in their home opener, and on a better platform than Monday Night Football. For the second-straight
PHILADELPHIA – Jalen Reagor still texts every day with a number of his former Eagles teammates like DeVonta Smith, Quez Watkins, and Miles Sanders. It’s a group text among friends and football isn’t part of the equation nor is trash-talking. It’s just a bunch of guys who enjoyed each other’s company before Reagor was sent
PHILADELPHIA – You don’t need analytics or next-generation stats to explain Haason Reddick ‘s standard. The Eagles’ new $15 million edge rusher wants to affect every game. “At some point, I just feel like I have to make a play that affects the game because that’s what I was brought here to do,” Reddick said
One bad quarter. That’s what created the fallout. One bad quarter. The Detroit Lions were strong in the fourth quarter, making what looked like an easy victory for the Eagles turn more into a chilling 38-35 escape under cover of night—after being up 38-21 in the fourth quarter. So, praise became sparse. Now, the Eagles,
The Eagles had just one sack in Sunday’s 38-35 win over the Lions, and that one was gift-wrapped with a fumbled snap. Besides the sack, they had just four hits and eight hurries on quarterback Jared Goff. But Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon insisted this week that he was not displeased with his pass rush

PHILADELPHIA – It never happened at Alabama or in his rookie season in the NFL. Sunday in Detroit, however, emerging second-year receiver DeVonta Smith was shut out. Smith was targeted four times and had a chance for at least one reception but when the full 60 minutes were drained off a 38-35 win, Smith finished
PHILADELPHIA – For the first time in 13 seasons, the Eagles had the NFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week on Kickoff Weekend. Backup cornerback Zech McPhearson was honored for sniffing out a Detroit onside kick gamble in the third quarter and his excellent coverage skills in Sunday’s win over the Lions. For his efforts,
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles signed defensive end Janarius Robinson off the Minnesota Vikings practice squad Tuesday as a replacement for Derek Barnett, the veteran defensive end who was placed on injured reserve and is expected to miss the rest of the season after tearing the ACL in his left knee in Detroit. Robinson, a 2021
PHILADELPHIA – Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that defensive end Derek Barnett tore the ACL in his left knee during Sunday’s win over Detroit, a season-ending injury for the veteran defensive end. Barnett, the team’s first-round pick in 2017, never lived up to that promise but he is a well-regarded member of the DE
DETROIT – The four-minute offense is one of the staples of NFL preparation, a nod toward having the football with a lead late in the game with an opportunity to siphon the clock. In Week 1 of the NFL season, the Eagles found themselves in a textbook four-minute situation (3:49 for the sticklers out there),
It wasn’t supposed to be this difficult. The Eagles, considered by many nationally to be the sexy pick to go far in the NFC playoffs, were projected to have an easy time with the Detroit Lions. And for major parts of the Eagles’ season-opening 38-35 victory on Sunday at Ford Field, they did. Though as
PHILADELPHIA – Eagles’ star receiver A.J. Brown got a bit of a scare at practice Friday when a rogue bee decided the lengthy wideout used to getting targets would be targeted. Brown noted that he was stung before the session during a social media post that has since been deleted. Typically that’s a nuisance issue
Nick Sirianni saved the Eagles’ season last year with a gutsy late-October decision to shake up his offense. After a 33-22 road loss to the Raiders dropped the Eagles to 2-5, Sirianni decided they were going to run the ball more. A lot more. In their first seven games, the Eagles had averaged 36.7 pass
