2023.04.06 16:06 Shot-Investigator-90 Is “shopping for line” an effective betting strat?
Hey guys, have you ever heard of "shopping for line" in sports betting? It's an essential technique that more experienced gamblers know about, and it can make a significant difference in your long-term profits.
Basically, different sportsbooks offer different betting deals for the same games. So if you're only checking the odds lines at one casino before you bet, you're potentially missing out on better odds and payouts at other sportsbooks. It's like only checking one dealership for a car you want without finding the best price by shopping 3-4 of them. By shopping for the best line, I've been able to find more favorable odds and deals that I may not have found otherwise. It's a simple strategy that has made a big difference for me.
I know some people may not want to do this because it can be a hassle to check bets at multiple casinos by opening a different app for each different sportsbook. So I have been using different platforms for sports betting, some of my go-to are
Odds Shark,
Lines, and
Vegas Insider, I like to have multiple platforms because they give you different choices of sportsbooks and the best prices from each. I personally like Lines because it allows you to manage all of your bets in one place with its Bet Tracker product. But Vegas Insider and Odds Shark are pretty great too – it all depends on your preference tbh.
All of these platforms make wagering on sports much easier and more efficient so that you can focus on placing smart bets and not waste time trying to figure out the best lines.
I also like the fact that most of these sites offer customer support. No matter how good you are at betting, if something goes wrong, there will be someone on hand to help you out.
Of course, I'm not here to promote any particular platform, but I just wanted to share the tools that have been helpful for me in my sports betting journey. Have any of you tried using these platfrroms or other similar ones? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

2023.03.10 19:36 U5ername-Checks-0ut Let's settle this once and for all: which sports betting site reigns supreme?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advice on which sports betting prediction sites to use. I've done some research and narrowed down my options to a few popular sites, but I'm having trouble deciding which ones to trust.
Here are the sites I'm considering:
- SportsLine
- VegasInsider
- Oddsshark
- Covers
- The Action Network
- BettingPros
- BangTheBook
- Doc's Sports
- Pickswise
- WagerTalk
- Sports Betting Dime
I would really appreciate it if anyone who has experience with any of these sites could share their thoughts and opinions. Which site has the best track record of accurate predictions? Which one is the most user-friendly? Are there any sites on this list that I should avoid?
Thank you in advance for your help!

2023.02.10 21:41 Rsubs33 Game Preview Super Bowl Philadelphia Eagles (16-3) vs Kansas City Chiefs (16-3)
| Philadelphia Eagles (16-3) vs the Kansas City Chiefs (16-3) |
| The Eagles took care of business two weeks ago in the NFCCG when they cruised to a 31-7 win against the 49ers in a game that did not live up to its hype after 49ers QB Brock Purdy tore his UCL on the 49ers first drive when he was sacked by Hassan Reddick who also forced a fumble on the play. Regardless of the injury, the Eagles still dominated the 49ers in the trenches and won the lopsided affair in dominating fashion. They will take on the number one seed from the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs had a much tougher challenge when they faced off against the Bengals and won on a last second FG by Harrison Buckner. This game will showcase the two best teams in the NFL this season which finished with identical records and identical points scored. It will also be the first Super Bowl played between two brothers as C Jason Kelce for the Eagles will take on his younger brother Chiefs TE Travis Kelce. Perhaps something more monumental, it will be the first time that both Super Bowl teams are led by African American QBs which were the MVP(Mahomes) and the MVP runner up (Hurts). These two teams are pretty evenly matched, both have talented QBs, strong offensive and defensive lines, good coaches and talented TEs, but Eagles have the advantage on the outside on both sides of the ball with their talented WR and CB duos. The Eagles need to be disciplined on defense to keep Mahomes contained and limit future HOF TE Travis Kelce. The Eagles will also have to be aware of the screen game. Chiefs coach Andy Reid is one of the best in the league at designing screens and I expect a fair number to be called to try to negate the Eagles potent pass rush. The Eagles need to stay in their lanes and not get up field to break up these screens for a loss. On the other side, the Eagles need to be worried about Chris Jones, who is a game wrecker as he proved in the AFCCG game with 4 tackles for loss and 2 sacks. The Eagles OL is significantly better than the Bengals’ OL, and they will need to continue what they have done in their first two playoff games where they protected Hurts and gave him time to throw and established the run game early to create a balanced attack. If the Eagles can do that they should be able to put up some points against this Chiefs defense. Let’s get another ring. Go Birds! |

| The Eagles shot themselves in the football multiple times in a shootout with the chiefs, on the first drive Hurts completed his first three passes for 56 yards, but overthrew Zach Ertz in the endzone forcing the Eagles to settle for a FG. In the 2nd quarter Hurts missed an open Greg Ward in the endzone after a TD pass to Goedert was called back after Hurts held the ball too long on a RPO and an ineligible downfield was called. The Chiefs pulled away in the second after Mahomes threw a pass overhand, underhand and shoveled another to give the Chiefs a 21-10 lead going into half. The Eagles missed more opportunities in the 3rd when a Zach Ertz TD was negated by an offensive pass interference call on JJAW and the Eagles settled for a FG. KC added three more TDs in the second half for the 42-30 win over the Eagles to give Andy Reid his 100 career coaching win with the Chiefs. |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| A game that was hyped up all week turned into quite the dud as the Eagles welcomed the 49ers to town for the NFCCG. The Eagles scored on the opening drive after the refs missed the ball coming loose on a Devonta Smith catch and the Eagles hurried to the line and ran a play as Shanahan kept the challenge flag in his pocket. The Eagles ran the ball in two plays later to Miles Sanders to take a 7-0 lead. On the following possession, the 49ers learned why the Eagles led the league in sacks when they tried to block Hassan Reddick with a TE leading to a sack fumble which took QB Brock Purdy out of the game with a UCL injury. From there the 49ers could do little on offense, though the 49ers did tie it up with a Christian McCaffrey TD run, however the Eagles took the lead right back on the next possession to give them a 14-7 lead. The Eagles extended the lead further after a fumbled snap by the 49ers and the Eagles made it 21-7 going into half time. On the first possession after the half it went from bad to worse for the 49ers as they lost their second QB Josh Johnson to a concussion. With the 49ers already losing the battle in the trenches on both sides of the football and now down 14 points and no way to pass the Eagles ran out the clock with long time consuming drives on 2 out of their next 3 possessions which ate up 13+ minutes of clock and added another 11 points for the Eagles as they finished off the 49ers 31-7. |
| Chiefs |
| The Chiefs took on the Bengals in a game where the Chiefs were looking to knock the Bengals down a notch after the Bengals won three straight against them dating back to last season. Patrick Mahomes was hobbled with a high ankle sprain and the Chiefs were missing multiple WRs with injuries as well, but this year's MVP was determined to make sure it would not be four straight losses to the Bengals. Mahomes threw for 326 yards and two touchdowns, even though he was missing three of his wide receivers to injuries by the end. Marquez Valdes-Scantling led with 116 yards and a touchdown, while Travis Kelce had seven catches for 78 yards and a score. The Chiefs defense chipped in as well, sacking Bengals QB Joe Burrow 5 times including 2 by Chris Jones who was a terror all day for the Bengals OL. The game did have some controversy. With just over 10 minutes remaining in regulation, Kansas City ran a play on third-and-9 that fell short of the first-down marker. As the Chiefs' offense went to the sideline for an apparent punt, officials convened to discuss the clock. Referee Ron Torbert ruled that the play should be nullified because of a timekeeping mistake on the preceding second-down play, an incomplete pass. The Chiefs were awarded another third-down play, baffling NFL fans watching. On the second third-and-9 play, a defensive holding penalty by Bengals cornerback Eli Apple negated a sack of Patrick Mahomes and gave the Chiefs a first down. However, the Chiefs picked up just 1 more yard on the series. This made do-over a loss of 1 minute, 10 seconds off the clock which in the interest of fairness, was incredibly important at that stage of such a big game. But it didn't result in any extra points for the Chiefs. The game ended up coming down to the wire tied 20-20 on the final drive where it was 3rd and 4 for the Chiefs from the Cincinnati 47 where Mahomes took off bad ankle and all got the first down before running out of bounds where he was pushed from behind by Bengals LB Joseph Ossai giving the Chiefs another 15 yards. This put the Chiefs in FG range at the Bengals 27 with just 3 seconds left on the clock. The Chiefs kicker hit the 45 yards FG with no time on the clock to give the Chiefs the 23-20 win. |

| Philadelphia, which joined Kansas City as the only 14-win teams in the NFL this season, is set to appear in its fourth ever Super Bowl, having previously done so in 1980, 2004 and 2017 (Eagles defeated New England, 41-33, in Super Bowl LII). Overall, Super Bowl LVII marks the franchise’s eighth NFL title game (also 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1960). |
| Since 2004, only five NFL teams have reached the Super Bowl three times – New England (seven), Philadelphia (three), Kansas City (three), Pittsburgh (three) and Seattle (three). The Eagles are also one of four franchises to appear in multiple Super Bowls since 2017, along with Kansas City (three), L.A. Rams (two) and New England (two). |
| Jeffrey Lurie is the fourth individual owner to have three different head coaches reach the Super Bowl (Andy Reid, Doug Pederson and Nick Sirianni), joining Pat Bowlen (Broncos – Dan Reeves, Mike Shanahan, John Fox, Gary Kubiak), Al Davis (Raiders – John Madden, Tom Flores, Bill Callahan) and Georgia Frontiere (Rams – Ray Malavasi, Dick Vermeil, Mike Martz). Lurie and Davis are the only ones to reach three Super Bowls with a different head coach and QB in each season. |
| Since 2000, Philadelphia is tied for the 2nd-most playoff victories (16) in the NFL, trailing only New England (30), and is tied for the 3rd-most postseason trips (15), behind the Patriots (18) and Packers (16). Also, the Eagles have played in the 2nd-most conference championships (seven) since 2001, with only New England (13) appearing in more. |
| Excluding owners who acted as their team’s general managers, Howie Roseman is the second general manager to reach multiple Super Bowls with a different head coach and QB in each season (only one to do so in a five-year span), joining Ozzie Newsome with Baltimore in 2000 (Brian Billick/Trent Dilfer) and 2012 (John Harbaugh/Joe Flacco). |
| Roseman was voted the 2022 NFL Executive of the Year by the Pro Football Writers of America. He became the fourth general manager to earn the award multiple times since it was established in 1993, joining Bill Polian (five), Scott Pioli (three) and George Young (two). |
| The Eagles are one of only three NFL franchises to appear in the playoffs in five of the last six seasons (including two No. 1 seeds and three NFC East titles), joining Kansas City (six) and Buffalo (five). |
| At 41 years old, Nick Sirianni is the youngest head coach in franchise history to appear in a Super Bowl. He is also the second head coach in Eagles history to reach the Super Bowl within their first two years at the helm, joining Doug Pederson in 2017 (Super Bowl LII). |
| During the regular season, Sirianni led the Eagles to a franchise-record 14 wins, which is tied for the most by anyone in their first two career years as an NFL head coach, joining Jim Caldwell (2009 Colts), Mike Martz (2001 Rams) and George Seifert (1989 and 1990 49ers). |
| Including playoffs, Philadelphia is currently tied with the 2017 team (finished 16-3) for the most wins in franchise history. |
| Andy Reid served as the Eagles’ head coach for 14 seasons (1999- 2012). Super Bowl LVII marks just the fifth time in NFL history that a team faces its former head coach in the Super Bowl. The previous instances include the Patriots vs. Pete Carroll’s Seahawks (XLIX), the Raiders vs. Jon Gruden’s Buccaneers (XXXVII), the Broncos vs. Dan Reeves’ Falcons (XXXIII) and the Colts vs. Weeb Ewbank’s Jets (III). |
| This matchup features two MVP finalists in Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes and represents the first ever Super Bowl featuring two Black starting QBs. Hurts is aiming to become the fourth Black QB to win a Super Bowl (also Mahomes, Doug Williams and Russell Wilson). |
| Hurts (14-1, .933) and Mahomes (14-3, .824) tied for the most QB wins in the NFL this year. They also finished 1st and 2nd in passer rating (Mahomes, 105.2; Hurts, 101.5) and yards per attempt (Mahomes, 8.10; Hurts, 8.05), while ranking among the top in TD/INT ratio (Hurts, 2nd, 3.67; Mahomes, 3rd, 3.42), total yards per game (Mahomes, 1st, 329.9; Hurts, 3rd, 297.4) and total TDs (Mahomes, 1st, 45; Hurts, 4th, 35). |
| Including playoffs, Jalen Hurts is 16-1 as a starter this year. The only QB to go 17-1 and win the Super Bowl was Joe Montana in 1984. |
| Hurts is tied for the most single-season wins by a QB during their first three years in the NFL, joining Russell Wilson (2013), Kurt Warner (1999), Dan Marino (1984) and Joe Montana (1981). |
| At 24 years, 189 days, Hurts is the seventh youngest QB to ever play in a Super Bowl (youngest in Eagles history), trailing only Dan Marino in 1984 (23-127), Ben Roethlisberger in 2005 (23-340, won), David Woodley in 1983 (24-97), Jared Goff in 2018 (24-112), Patrick Mahomes in 2019 (24-138, won) and Tom Brady in 2001 (24-184, won). |
| In the regular season, Hurts became the fourth NFL QB since 2000 to lead his team to 14+ wins while posting 35+ total TDs and 8-or-fewer giveaways, joining Patrick Mahomes (2020), Aaron Rodgers (2011) and Tom Brady (2010). He also tied the single-season team record with 35 total TDs (also Randall Cunningham in 1990), including 13 rushing TDs (2nd-most ever by an NFL QB, behind Cam Newton’s 14 in 2011). |
| In Week 4 of 2021 vs. Kansas City, Hurts threw for a career-high 387 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs and a 105.1 passer rating on 32-of-48 passing |
| Following its victories over New York (W, 38-7) and San Francisco (W, 31-7) in the Wild Card Round and NFC Championship Game, Philadelphia became the first team in NFL history to score 31+ points while allowing 7-or-fewer points multiple times in the same postseason. |
| The Eagles are the first NFL team to allow 7-or-fewer points multiple times in a playoff run since the 2000 Ravens (three). Furthermore, the last time Philadelphia gave up 7-or-fewer points in consecutive playoff games was during the 1948 and 1949 NFL Championships. |
| The Eagles became the seventh team in NFL history to win multiple games by 24+ points in a postseason, joining the 2002 Buccaneers, 1992 Cowboys, 1989 49ers (three), 1988 49ers, 1985 Bears and 1983 Raiders. Each of those teams went on to win the Super Bowl. |
| Notably, Philadelphia is the first NFL team to rank among the Top 3 in the NFL in total offense (389.1 ypg, 3rd) and total defense (301.5 ypg, 2nd) in the same season since the 2010 San Diego Chargers. |
| In the NFC Championship Game vs. San Francisco, the Eagles rushed for 148 yards and a franchise-playoff-record 4 TDs (by three different players). It was the first time the 49ers had allowed 4 rushing TDs in a single game in more than six years (4 on 10/16/16 at Buffalo). |
| Philadelphia became the fifth team in NFL history to record 3+ rushing TDs in back-to-back playoff games, joining the 2019 Patriots, 2013 49ers, 1973 Dolphins and 1941 Bears. |
| Philadelphia scored a franchise-record 477 points in 2022, including team records in total TDs (59), scrimmage TDs (57) and rushing TDs (32). The Eagles’ 32 rushing TDs tied for the 3rd-most in league history, trailing the 1962 Packers (36) as well as the 1976 Steelers (33). Their 39 rushing TDs, including playoffs, are the most in NFL history. |
| The Eagles also finished the regular season with franchise records in third-down conversion rate (45.9%, previously 45.7% in 2021) and red zone TD efficiency (67.8%, previously 66.7% in 2019). |
| A.J. Brown (career-high 1,496) and DeVonta Smith (career-high 1,196) are the first 1,000+ yard receiving duo in franchise history. |
| Brown’s career-high 1,496 receiving yards finished 4th in the league behind Justin Jefferson (1,809), Tyreek Hill (1,710) and Davante Adams (1,516). In his first season with the Eagles, Brown set a single-season franchise record with 1,496 receiving yards, surpassing the previous mark owned by Mike Quick in 1983 (1,409). |
| Brown also tied for 3rd in the NFL with a career-high-tying 11 receiving TDs (also 2020), behind Davante Adams (14) and Travis Kelce (12). He also averaged 17.0 yards per catch, a figure that ranked 2nd in the league, trailing only Jaylen Waddle (18.1) (min. 50 catches). |
| DeVonta Smith finished his second NFL season with 95 receptions, which are the most by a WR in Eagles history, eclipsing the previous mark owned by Irving Fryar in 1996 (88). |
| The Eagles set a single-season franchise record with an NFL-leading 70 sacks. Since 1982, when sacks became an official statistic, only the 1984 Bears (72) and 1989 Vikings (71) have totaled more. |
| Philadelphia is the only NFL team since 1982 to have four different players record 10.0+ sacks in the same season – Haason Reddick (16.0), Brandon Graham (11.0), Javon Hargrave (11.0) and Josh Sweat (11.0). |
| Haason Reddick tied for the 2nd-most sacks (career-high 16.0) in the NFL, trailing only Nick Bosa (18.5). His 16.0 sacks are tied for the 3rd most by any NFL player in their first season with a team, trailing only Shaquil Barrett with Tampa Bay in 2019 (19.5) and Bryce Paup with Buffalo in 1995 (17.5). Reddick, who also led the league with 5 strip sacks and 5 FFs (tied), became the first NFL player to produce 10.0+ sacks in three consecutive seasons with three different teams. |
| Including playoffs, Reddick has 19.5 sacks in 19 games. His 3.5 sacks this postseason are the most by an Eagle in a single playoff run. |
| At age 34, Brandon Graham registered double-digit sacks (11.0) for the first time in his career. He is the oldest NFL player with 11.0+ sacks since Julius Peppers (age 37) and Terrell Suggs (age 35) in 2017. |
| Javon Hargrave recorded a career-high 11.0 sacks, which ranks 4th among NFL DTs this season, trailing Chris Jones (15.5), Quinnen Williams (12) and Daron Payne (11.5). Hargrave’s 11.0 sacks are the most by an Eagles DT since Andy Harmon in 1993 (11.5). |
| Miles Sanders finished the regular season as one of three NFL RBs to produce 1,200+ rushing yards (career-high 1,269, 5th in NFL), 11+ rushing TDs (career-high 11) and a 4.5+ rushing average (4.9) this season, joining Josh Jacobs and Nick Chubb. He also became the third Eagles RB to record 1,200+ rushing yards and 10+ rushing TDs in a season, joining Ricky Watters (1995, 1996) and LeSean McCoy (2011). |
| Since 1970, only three NFL centers have been selected first-team AllPro five times: Dermontti Dawson (six), Mike Webster and Jason Kelce. Dawson and Webster are both Pro Football Hall of Famers. |
| According to Pro Football Focus, Lane Johnson has not allowed a sack since Week 11 of 2020 or a QB hit since Week 7 of 2021. |
| Despite missing five games due to injury, Dallas Goedert ranked 2nd among all league TEs in yards per reception (12.8), trailing only Jordan Akins (13.4). Goedert also finished 3rd in yards after the catch (420), behind Travis Kelce (648) and Evan Engram (465), as well as 3rd in 20+ yard receptions (11), behind Kelce (19) and George Kittle (12). |
| T.J. Edwards registered a career-high 159 total tackles, which finished 7th overall in the league. His 159 tackles are the 2nd-most by an Eagle in the last 31 seasons, trailing Byron Evans in 1992 (175). |
| James Bradberry finished with the 3rd-lowest passer rating allowed in the NFL (55.9) (min. 50 targets) and posted the 3rd-most PDs (17). |
| Bradberry and Darius Slay finished as the only CB tandem in the NFL to both produce 14+ PDs and 3+ INTs this season. |
| Fun Fact |
| The Dallas Texans was the initial name of the team when billionaire Lamar Hunt formed them as one of the first teams in the American Football League. Hunt moved the team to Kansas City in 1963 and gave them the moniker “Chiefs,” thus the franchise’s time in Dallas wouldn’t last very long. The Kansas City Chiefs became one of the new clubs in the National Football League in 1970 as a result of the AFL-NFL merger. |

| By now, you’ve probably read all about this game’s storyline, inhaling every new article published with anticipation only building. You come to Reddit and refresh your team sub’s feed with a sort of giddiness. You put in your earphones at work a bit more so you can listen to some football podcasts. Every time you see another fan wearing your team’s gear, there’s that knowing glance of camaraderie like you’re the ones that will be going to battle in just a few days. Because you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Chiefs fans don’t get it. This means something else to us. Our fervor and pride is what makes Philly Philly. It’s a city that’s always been written off, often been considered “second chair”. Today, let’s talk about another time a team wearing red thought they could outlast us (and failed). Today, let’s go back 245 years to 1777. Revolutionary War: Philadelphia, home of the Continental Congress. The same Continental Congress that had left Philly already once before was set to abandon the city once again, retreating westward to Lancaster and York. George Washington’s army hadn’t managed to hold off the Redcoats as they approached Philadelphia from the southwest. Outnumbered, the rebels fought tooth and nail at the Battle of Brandywine, but ultimately lost double the soldiers the Redcoats had. With the opposition’s retreat, the Reds came to Philly thinking the Congress’s retreat meant the city’s easy subjugation. That confidence was short-lived. The Red officer in charge of the occupation resigned. His replacement was ordered to retreat. The occupation had lasted from September to June. As the Red general pulled northward, Washington’s army pursued. No f&>ing way were those assholes getting away with it. With reinforcements powered by air (French ships, deep passing game…shh…just roll with it), that Red general crumbled. By 1778, he sent a messenger to ask to be recalled home. You can’t outlast us. You don’t understand what it means to bide your time, what it does to you, what it has done to us over the years and what it meant to us to win in 2018. We’re Eagles fans. That rabid and informed yearning, that burning deep inside has become ingrained in us from an early age. It’s not going anywhere after winning one. Because we’re still getting written off. Our team “lucked” into this position. Noone likes us, we don’t care. It’s a Philly thing. |
| Matchups to Watch |
| Skinny and Swole Batman vs the young corners of the Chiefs |
| The Eagles talented WR duo combined for 2692 and 18 TDs this season and have jokingly been called the Batmans on the team which other players have joined in on. They will face off against a very young secondary of the Chiefs which includes rookies Trent McDuffie and Jaylon Brown along with third year CB L'Jarius Sneed. None of the three have been overwhelmingly impressive this season, but nickel CB Watson has been picked on the most, giving up 51 receptions and 5 TDs with an opposing QB rating of 93.4 when targeted according to PFF. Look for the Eagles to go to 11 personnel quite a bit to get Watson on the field to take advantage of the mismatch Smith and Brown have against him. Watson in particular may have issues with Smith who is quick and is a great route runner which has been a weakness for Watson this season for him this year as he thrives on being a physical CB. If Smith is able to get off the line, he should be able to get open on Watson down field. AJ Brown on the other side may be a mismatch for any of the Chiefs corners though, he has roughly 30lbs on all three of them and should have no issue getting off the ball against them. As you can see in the PFF WCB Matchups above, PFF really likes this matchup as well. Brown is due for a big day, after being relatively quiet in the first two playoff games, mainly due to the Eagles going up big early and focusing on the run. Brown is going to be eager to get the ball in his hands and find the endzone, something he has not done since the Saints game back in week 17.The Eagles will need to get these two going against a Chiefs team that is going to put up points. |
| Eagles OL vs Chris Jones |
| Chris Jones is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL and he is a DPOY finalist for a reason. Jones lines up all across the line with DC, Steve Spagnulo, always looking for mismatches for his defense’s best player. That will not be as for Spagnulo this time around though as it was last season where the Eagles were starting backups at both tackle positions and right guard, with Lane Johnson being a last minute scratch due to anxiety and Mailata and Seumalo both missing the game with injuries. The Eagles will have all their starters in for this one though, even though Lane Johnson is battling a torn adductor in his groin and Dickerson will be sporting a brace on his elbow. The entire line will have to be ready for Jones though and know where it is lining up, especially after Jones wreaked havoc in the AFCCG blowing up the run and sacking Joe Burrow 2 times. That said, the Eagles OL is significantly better than the OL of Cincinnati. PFF ranked the Eagles as the top OL in the league this season while the Bengals ranked 28th. The Eagles OL also took care of business last week against the 49ers, virtually shutting down probable DPOY Nick Bosa and getting more pancakes than a fat kid at iHOP. The Eagles will need to do the same to Jones and the rest of the Chiefs DL this week as well. If the Eagles are able to establish the run and give Hurts time this offense should be able to put up some points. |

2023.01.27 22:09 Rsubs33 Game Preview National Football Conference Championship Game Philadelphia Eagles (15-3) vs San Francisco 49ers (15-4)
| Philadelphia Eagles (15-3) vs the San Francisco 49ers (15-4) |
| The Eagles reminded people why they had the best record in football this weekend playing their most complete game in weeks as they dismantled the division rival Giants 38-7. This week they will have a much tougher task though when they take on the 49ers who went 13-4 this season and have one of the best defenses in the NFL. The 49ers took care of the Eagles other rival who made the playoffs when they dispatched the Cowboys 19-12. This is a matchup that many people considered the best two teams in the league this past season. On offense the biggest thing for the Eagles is going to be to protect the football and take what San Francisco gives them to limit turnovers. If the Eagles OL can win against the San Francisco DL, the Eagles offense should be able to put up points, but they will need to protect Hurts and get AJ Brown and Devonta Smith going to do so. If the Eagles get the outside passing game going it will open up Goedert in the middle and the run game to allow the Eagles to open the playbook. On defense the biggest thing will be limiting McCaffrey and Mitchell in the run game and forcing the 49ers in 3rd and longs to get the Eagles pass rush going. The Eagles need to use the same game plan against the Giants and force Purdy to beat them with his arm. If the Eagles can get ahead and make the 49ers chase them with the passing game it will be a recipe for success, but that will be no easy task against this squad. It should be a hard fought game that will be won or lost in the trenches. Go Birds! |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| The Eagles took on their division rival as they welcomed the Giants to town for the Linc’s first playoff game since losing in the Wild Card round in 2019. The Linc was bumping and the Eagles took it to the Giants early. The Eagles dominated both sides of the ball and on offense, the star-studded line allowed the Eagles to rush 44 times for an astounding 268 yards (6.1 YPC). Meanwhile, Eagles QB Jalen Hurts was hit just one time despite the Giants blitzing on more than 42% of his dropbacks. On defense the Eagles sacked Daniel Jones five times, hit him six times and pressured him on more than 31% of his dropbacks. Jones was under duress all night, even to the point of missing open receivers when he had the time to make throws. The Eagles ended up winning 38-7 in the rout. |
| 49ers |
| The 49ers took on one of the Eagles other rivals as they welcomed the Cowboys to Levi Stadium. In what was a largely defensive matchup most of the evening, but the key difference was that the 49ers did a better job of taking what the Cowboys gave them and didn’t turn over the football and two key scoring drives in the 4th quarter which broke a 9-9 tie. Purdy hit Kittle up the middle on a big throw and great catch by Kittle before McCaffrey capped the drive with a 2 yard TD run on the 49ers only TD drive of the game. The 49ers were able to hold on to the lead and win 19-12 to advance to the NFCCG. |

The defense also produced the 3rd-lowest opponent passer rating (81.6) and tied for 4th in both takeaways (27) and INTs (17). |
| The Eagles set a single-season franchise record with an NFL-leading 70 sacks. Since 1982, when sacks became an official statistic, only the 1984 Bears (72) and 1989 Vikings (71) have totaled more. |
| Philadelphia is the only NFL team since 1982 to have four different players record 10.0+ sacks in the same season – Haason Reddick (16.0), Brandon Graham (11.0), Javon Hargrave (11.0) and Josh Sweat (11.0). |
| Haason Reddick tied for the 2nd-most sacks (career-high 16.0) in the NFL, trailing only Nick Bosa (18.5). His 16.0 sacks are tied for the 3rdmost by any NFL player in their first season with a team, trailing only Shaquil Barrett with Tampa Bay in 2019 (19.5) and Bryce Paup with Buffalo in 1995 (17.5). Reddick, who also led the league with 5 strip sacks and 5 FFs (tied), became the first NFL player to produce 1.0+ sacks in three consecutive seasons with three different teams. |
| At age 34, Brandon Graham registered double-digit sacks (11.0) for the first time in his career. He is the oldest NFL player with 11.0+ sacks since Julius Peppers (age 37) and Terrell Suggs (age 35) in 2017. |
| Javon Hargrave recorded a career-high 11.0 sacks, which ranks 4th among NFL DTs this season, trailing Chris Jones (15.5), Quinnen Williams (12) and Daron Payne (11.5). Hargrave’s 11.0 sacks are the most by an Eagles DT since Andy Harmon in 1993 (11.5). |
| During the regular season, Jalen Hurts led the Eagles to a 14-1 record (.933 winning percentage) as a starter, completing 306-of-460 (66.5%) attempts for 3,701 yards (8.0 avg.), 22 TDs, 6 INTs and a 101.6 passer rating. He also rushed for 760 yards and 13 TDs. In total, Hurts combined for 4,461 yards and 35 TDs in his third NFL campaign. |
| Hurts became the fourth NFL QB since 2000 to lead his team to 14+ wins while registering 35+ total TDs and 8-or-fewer giveaways, joining Patrick Mahomes (2020), Aaron Rodgers (2011) and Tom Brady (2010). At 24 years old, he became the second youngest QB in NFL history to win 14+ games, trailing only Dan Marino with Miami in 1984 (23). |
| Hurts tied the Eagles’ single-season record with 35 total TDs (also Randall Cunningham in 1990), which ranked 4th in the NFL, behind Mahomes (45), Josh Allen (42) and Joe Burrow (40). He also led the NFL in 20+ yard TDs (15). His 13 rushing TDs are the 2nd-most by a QB in league history, trailing only Cam Newton in 2011 (14). |
| Among NFL QBs with at least 500 pass attempts, Hurts finished 2nd in passer rating (101.5), yards per pass attempt (8.1) and TD/INT ratio (3.7). He also averaged the 3rd-most total yards per game (297.4), trailing only Mahomes (329.9) and Allen (315.3) in that category. |
| A.J. Brown (career-high 1,496 receiving yards) and DeVonta Smith (career-high 1,196 receiving yards) are the first 1,000+ yard receiving duo in franchise history. Brown and Smith joined Miami’s Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as the only receiving duo in the NFL to record 1,100+ receiving yards and 7+ TDs each this season. |
| Brown’s career-high 1,496 receiving yards finished 4th in the league behind Justin Jefferson (1,809), Tyreek Hill (1,710) and Davante Adams (1,516). In his first season with the Eagles, Brown set a single-season franchise record with 1,496 receiving yards, surpassing the previous mark owned by Mike Quick in 1983 (1,409). |
| Brown also tied for 3rd in the NFL with a career-high-tying 11 receiving TDs (also 2020), behind Davante Adams (14) and Travis Kelce (12). He also averaged 17.0 yards per catch, a figure that ranked 2nd in the league, trailing only Jaylen Waddle (18.1) (min. 50 catches). |
| DeVonta Smith finished his second NFL season with 95 receptions, which are the most by a WR in Eagles history, eclipsing the previous mark owned by Irving Fryar in 1996 (88). |

He also became the third Eagles RB to record 1,200+ rushing yards and 10+ rushing TDs in a season, joining Ricky Watters (1995, 1996) and LeSean McCoy (2011). |
| Jason Kelce, who has started 139 consecutive regular-season games (longest active streak among NFL centers and the 2nd-longest streak ever in Eagles history), was named first-team All-Pro for the fifth time in his career. Since 1970, only three NFL centers have been first-team All-Pro five times: Dermontti Dawson (six), Mike Webster and Kelce. Dawson and Webster are both Pro Football Hall of Famers. |
| According to Pro Football Focus, Lane Johnson has not allowed a sack since Week 11 of 2020 or a QB hit since Week 7 of 2021. |
| Despite missing five games due to injury, Dallas Goedert ranked 2nd among all league TEs in yards per reception (12.8), trailing only Jordan Akins (13.4). Goedert also finished 3rd in yards after the catch (420), behind Travis Kelce (648) and Evan Engram (465), as well as 3rd in 20+ yard receptions (11), behind Kelce (19) and George Kittle (12). |
| T.J. Edwards registered a career-high 159 total tackles, which finished 7th overall in the league. His 159 tackles are the 2nd-most by an Eagle in the last 31 seasons, trailing Byron Evans in 1992 (175). |
| James Bradberry finished with the 3rd-lowest passer rating allowed in the NFL (55.9) (min. 50 targets) and posted the 3rd-most PDs (17). Bradberry and Darius Slay are the only CB tandem in the league to both produce 14+ PDs and 3+ INTs. |
| Fun Fact |
| Although they are called the San Francisco 49ers, they don't play in San Francisco. Levi Stadium, home of the 49ers, is located in Santa Clara, California. Santa Clara is approximately 45 miles from San Francisco, whereas San Jose is only five miles away. San Jose is also the larger city, with over one million people living there. |
| A Trip through Time |
| For this week’s Trip through Time, let's go to one of the more memorable games I watched between these two teams, mainly due to an injury which occurred in the game which we will get to later. Donovan McNabb broke his ankle the previous week against the Cardinals. Eagles coach Andy Reid initially called former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman to ask him to come out of retirement and become the Eagles' starter with Donovan McNabb injured, but Aikman declined. So it was up to Koy Detmer, making his first start in 3 years to keep the season going on Monday Night Football against the 49ers. The game did not start on a high note for Detmer, who on the Eagles' first play from scrimmage, stumbled to one knee untouched on a routine dropback, then got sacked by Andre Carter at the 1. Jim Johnson's defense held San Francisco in check and the game was a stalemate until Detmer got his bearings and led a 90-yard scoring drive. Reid's plan included plenty of reverses, play-action and misdirection -- anything to keep the Niners' defense off balance and take the pressure off the backup QB. It worked: Detmer found Pinkston with a 25-yard TD pass early in the second quarter, and Detmer celebrated with a chest bump that knocked him flat on his ass. Brian Mitchell followed it up with a 76-yard punt return touchdown (his NFL-record 13th) to make it 14–0 Philadelphia. After the 49ers scored on a Terrell Owens touchdown reception, Detmer made it 21–7 with a touchdown strike to Antonio Freeman. Detmer dove the ball in himself in the third quarter to open up a 28–10 lead for the Eagles and Detmer did his patented slapping of the towel celebration. Detmer was in the zone until he landed with all of his weight on his left arm as Chike Okeafor knocked him to the ground following a 24 yards pass to Jeff Thompson. The hit dislocated Detmer’s elbow in one of the grosser injuries I can recall in an Eagles game. Detmer was carted off after being wished well by both teams. AJ Feely, the Eagles 3rd string QB came into the game and threw a TD pass to Chad Lewis to put the Eagles up 35-10. The 49ers would cut the lead down to 18 at the end of the third with a Terrell Owen TD reception from Jeff Garcia, but the Eagles defense held on in the 4th and the eagles added FG for good measure to put them up 3 possessions to close out the game. |

| The More You Know |
| Finding Some Middle Ground |
| According to Football Outsiders’ database, the Eagles defense ranks 23rd in DVOA on passes directed to the short middle range of the field. Meanwhile, Kyle Shanahan’s offense stresses the middle of the field with RBs and TEs with an overwhelming majority of Brock Dick Purdy’s passes going to the short middle (24.9% - PFF). Short middle is also where Purdy has suffered the clear highest number of drops (5). The Eagles D is also 24th in DVOA covering RBs and have struggled against 21 personnel this season, with a DVOA of 13.1%. This would have ranked near the bottom of the league over a full season. The few good plays the Giants managed last week before the game became a blowout also came with two backs in the backfield. How will Eagles DC Gannon, with assistance from 2 of Purdy’s former college defensive coaches D.K. McDonald (assistant DBs coach) and Tyler Scudder (defensive assistant), defend against this? For what it’s worth, Eagles MLB TJ Edwards is PFF’s 9th best coverage LB, while Kyzir White ranks 31st. On the flip side, Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw are playing at a high level in coverage, the 4th and 7th best PFF-graded LBs, but are also 13th and 16th in YAC allowed. Warner is also 2nd for LBs in Forced Incompletion % (16). What could this mean for the Eagles Offense? According to Football Outsiders, the 49ers' 36.6% DVOA against deep shots ranks 24th in the league, and is a ticking time bomb. I think this could be a huge AJ Brown game. Use that to open up other elements. I mean, he does have a 99.9 PFF grade on deep throws… |
| Matchups to Watch |
| Eagles Pass Defense vs Brock Purdy |
| Brock Purdy, this years “Mr. Irrelevant has done a great job filling in for the injured Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo in the second half of the season. He is 7-0 as a starter, but has not faced a defense or a pass rush like the Eagles yet in his young career. The Eagles have 75 sacks this season including the playoffs with 4 different players having over 10 sacks (Reddick[17.5], Sweat[12.5], Graham[12], Hargrave[11]) and Cox isn’t far behind with 8. Purdy also has only played two road games, both in the regular season with neither being as hostile an environment as the Linc, which will be bumping on Sunday. Last time the Eagles were in the NFCCG, the environment played a big role in changing the game, when Case Keenum threw a pick and the crowd erupted and were in Keenum’s head the remainder of the game. The Eagles will need to do the same with Purdy and make him uncomfortable early and force some mistakes. The 49ers have a very good OL, but the Cowboys were able to get to Purdy last week and were able to limit the 49ers offense. If the Eagles can get home and rattle Purdy it could absolutely change the game. Purdy struggled on the road in college going 21-3 at home, but just 5-9 on the road. The Eagles will need to get in his face and get their arms up to disrupt throwing lanes. The Eagles will also need to force him into throws he isn’t comfortable in making and get him moving. Purdy is at his best throwing to the middle of the field. The Eagles should look to take that away and force him to the outside against the Eagles talented corners. |
| AJ Brown and Devonta Smith vs Charvarius Ward and Decommodore Lenoir |
| The 49ers have a great defense, but their corners are definitely a weak spot on the outside. Ward has a passer rating of 93.2 when targeted and Lenoir is slightly better at 85.7. If there is a place to attack the 49ers it is definitely outside, where when the 49ers have faced speedy WRs they have struggled. These are the WRs who had big games vs this secondary: Sutton - 8 receptions 97 yards, Kupp 8 receptions,79 yards and TD, Lockett 9 receptions 107 yards, Kupp 14 receptions 122 yards, Smith-Schuster 7 receptions 127s TD, Valdes-Scantling 3 receptions 111 yards, Dortch 9 receptions 103 yards, Hopkins 9 receptions for 91 yards, Hill 9 receptions 146 yards and 1 TD, Devante Adams 7 receptions 153 yards and 2 TDs, Metcalf 10 receptions 136s 2 TDs, CD Lamb 10 receptions 117 yards. That's a pretty lot of big games against opposing WRs, the key was the 49ers were usually able to limit those to a single player hurting them outside of the two Chiefs WRs where Kelce also had a big game and they were able to run the ball. The Eagles do have two very talented WRs in Brown and Smith who combined for 2692 and 18 TDs this season. Brown is due for a game and after some frustration last game, don’t be surprised to see him get involved early on this one. Smith may be the scarier option for the 49ers though, who have struggled against speed on the outside and have given up a number of big deep catches this year. If the Eagles are able to protect Hurts and start attacking the outside and forcing the 49ers to focus on stopping it, it will open up the middle of the field for Goedert and allow the run game to get going which will open up the entire playbook for the Eagles. |
| Jalen Hurts against Demeco Ryans |
| Demeco Ryans got the best of Jalen Hurts in their first meeting last season in week 2, but Hurts is a different QB and he has a different supporting cast behind him. Since that game Hurts has quite a few more starts under his belts after two seasons as a starter, same with WR Devonta Smith and the Eagles also added Pro Bowl WR AJ Brown in the offseason who has clicked with Hurts immediately. Ryans will undoubtedly try to confuse Hurts with coverages and make him question what he is seeing by moving Fred Warner up and back on the line. Hurts has been great this year especially improving on the mental side and as a passer and that will need to continue on Sunday. Hurts needs to take what this defense gives him and be smart with the football, the 49ers defense can wreak havoc and was great at causing turnovers this year and turnovers are one thing in common across the Eagles 3 losses. The Eagles need to protect the ball in this game and can’t beat themselves against this team. Hurts also needs to keep this defense honest and use his legs against them. In the 49ers 4 losses this season, they all came against mobile QBs, not necessarily running QBs, but ones that can buy time which Hurts can do well. If Hurts can buy time or there are broken plays, the Eagles have the talent at WR to get open against these corners. Hurts just needs to recognize the defense and make the smart decisions |
| 49ers Rushing Attack vs the Eagles Run Defense |
| Much has been made about the Eagles and their rush defense throughout the season, though the run defense has been much improved since the Eagles added veterans Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh to the rotation and got rookie Jordan Davis back from injury. People keep citing their low run stats such as their 21st ranked run DVOA and 22nd ranked EPA/run, yet many of these people are failing to notice adding two veterans like Suh and Joseph and getting a big first round pick back into the fold really helps your run defense. The Eagles EPA/run was ranked 8th in the games following the additions of those players to the interior line. The Eagles were largely able to shutdown the Giants rush offense last week and many of the yards they did get were late in the game where Gannon was content to allow the Giants to help run out the clock. That said, the 49ers have two talented RBs in McCaffrey and Mitchell to go along with a great OL and can also run it to Deebo Samuel as well. The Eagles need to take the same approach this week as they did against the Giants and stop the run and force Purdy to beat them with his arm. The Eagles will need to be quick to the ball, gang tackle and take away cutback lanes to ensure they are limiting big runs and are able to force the 49ers into obvious passing situations on third down to let their pass rush do their thing. They can’t let the 49ers get into easy 3rd and short situations or it could be a long day. |
| Eagles OL vs the 49ers DL |
| The Eagles OL has been one of their strengths all year and they looked good against the Giants dominating the line of scrimmage all day. The Eagles ran all over them, with little the Giants could do to stop them. The Eagles will have a much bigger test this week though when they take on the 49ers DL which is much more talented highlighted by DPOY favorite Nick Bosa, who led the league in sacks this season. Bosa is the star, but they have talent across the line with former first round picks Javon Kinlaw and Arik Armstead manning the middle of the line. The Eagles need to be most aware of Bosa though who will be lining up against Mailata and Lane Johnson, who is still dealing with an injury. Even with the injury, Lane looked like himself last week where according to PFF, Johnson had 26 reps in pass protection against the Giants and didn’t give up a single pressure. Nick Bosa is on a whole nother level than Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari though and Johnson needs to be on his game again this week. If the OL can move the 49ers DL and get to the next level to get the run game going early it will go a long way in tipping the odds in the Eagles favor as the Eagles are best when they are able to run the football. Of course that will be no easy task against the league's best run defense. In the pass blocking area, if the Eagles are able to give Hurts time, he should be able to find Brown and Smith on the outside where the 49ers corners have struggled against the deep ball this season. This game will be won in the trenches though and this is a key matchup. |

2023.01.20 16:16 Rsubs33 Game Preview Divisional Round Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) vs New York Giants (10-7-1)
| Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) vs the New York Giants (10-7-1) |
| The Eagles will face a familiar foe as they take on their oldest rival in the Divisional Round of the Playoffs this week when the Giants make the trip down I95 to the Linc. Saturday marks the third meeting of the 2022 season between the Giants and the Eagles, with Philadelphia winning the first two games. The Giants and Eagles have met three times in a single season on four occasions - 2008, 2006, 2000 and 1981. The playoff series is currently tied 2-2 with The Eagles winning in 2008 and 2006 and the Giants winning in 2000 and 1981. The Eagles recent success against the Giants is well documented, the Eagles are 11-2 in the last 13 meetings with the Eagles winning the last 3 games, though the last one is rather pointless to mention with the Giants resting a majority of their starters. The Eagles are also 9-0 against the Giants at the Linc dating back to the 2014 season. The Eagles will hope that streak will go to 10-0 Saturday Night. When teams play each other three times in the same season, teams are 14-7 in attempts to beat a team three times in the same season all-time. The Giants are sure to put up a fight thought, they are a team no one expected to be here when the season started, but head coach Brian Daboll has done a tremendous job in getting his team prepared each week and has gotten the most out of his roster. The Giants upset the Vikings last week in Minnesota and will look to play spoiler again this week. On paper the Eagles have the better roster, but this is a divisional matchup in the playoffs, so the Eagles need to be on their toes. On offense they need to stay with a balanced attack and do it early. Sirianni and Stichen can’t do what they have done in recent weeks where they don’t even give Sanders the ball until the 2nd quarter. They need to get him and Giant Killer, Boston Scott, involved early to keep the Giants guessing and keep the pass rush off Hurts who is still recovering from his shoulder injury which forced him to miss two of the final three games. On defense the Eagles need to stay disciplined and stay in their rush lanes to prevent Jones from sneaking out of the pocket for big runs. In the secondary, the Eagles will be without Maddox who will miss the game with a toe injury so expect CJ Gardner Johnson to line up in the slot in key passing situations now that he is back from a ruptured kidney he sustained in week 12. The Eagles secondary should have the advantage over the Giants receivers and they will not be running wide open like they were against the Vikings where the WRs were perfectly covered on just 20% of the plays which is 14% below the league average this year. In this game they will be facing two corners who have been great all season in Darius Slay and former Giant James Bradberry. If the Eagles can lock down the receivers and force Jones to hold the ball the Eagles pass rush should be able to get home against the Giants OL which PFF ranked 30th on the season. The Eagles need to get back to forcing turnovers and this could be the game to kickstart it back up and jump start the playoff run. Should be a good game. Go Birds! |

| January 8th,, 2022 |
| The Eagles clinched home-field advantage and a first-round bye with a 22-16 win over the New York Giants, who played mostly backups due to already clinching the No. 6 seed last week. The Eagles played an extremely vanilla offense most of the game with Hurts mainly just running and ducking out of bounds whenever he was chased from the pocket in order to protect his shoulder which was still sore in the game. Jake Elloitt was 5/5 for FGs in the game and added an extra point in the conservative play-calling by Sirianni in the 22-16 win for the Eagles. Philadelphia finishes the season 14-3 |
| Last Meeting with Starters Playing |
| Sunday, December 21th, 2022 |
| The Eagles took a trip up I95 to take on their division rival the NY Football Giants in a matchup of two teams going in different directions. The Eagles were on a 3 games win streak going into the Game where the Giants hadn’t put up a W in a few weeks. That trend continued Sunday as the Eagles came out and dominated both sides of the football. Hurts improved his MVP credentials by throwing for 217 yards and hitting DaVonta Smith on a 41-yard fourth-down TD strike and A.J. Brown on a 33-yarder as the Eagles (12-1) scored on their first three possessions. The third-year quarterback also ran for 77 yards, highlighted by a 10-yard TD scamper late in the third quarter. Miles Sanders also ran for 144 yards, scored on runs of 3 and 40 yards and hit the 1,000-yard mark for the season (1,068) as the Eagles handed the Giants their worst loss under first-year coach Brian Daboll. Jake Elliott kicked two field goals and the defense finished with seven sacks, including three by Brandon Graham as the Eagles clinched a playoff berth in their second consecutive seasons. |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| Eagles were on bye during the wild card due to being the number 1 seed. |
| Giants |
| The Giants took on the Minnesota Vikings with their 13-4 record, however 11 of those wins were by a score of less including one earlier this season against the Giants. The Giants must have taken notes during their first matchup with the Vikings and took them to town in the Wild Card round. The Giants dominated the Vikings defense with Daniel Jones passing for 301 yards and two touchdowns while running for 78 yards in his first career playoff game. Saquan Barkley also had a nice game for the Giants rushing for 2 scores including the tiebreaker midway through the 4th quarter. The Vikings did have a chance to tie the game late, but Kirk Cousins was his typical self and choked on the big stage. The Vikings had the ball on their 46 yard line when it was 4th and 8 and Cousins inexplicably checked it down to his TE who was tackled short of the yard to gain and turned it over on downs allowing the Giants to run out the clock. The Giants handed the Vikings their first one possession loss of the season winning 31-24. |

| Philadelphia is the No. 1 seed in the NFC Playoffs for the fifth time in franchise history, having previously done so in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2017. The Eagles’ five No. 1 seeds since 2000 are the 2nd-most by any NFL team in that span, trailing only New England (seven). |
| Philadelphia is the first team in NFL history to secure two No. 1 seeds over a five-year span with different head coach/QB combos. |
| The Eagles captured their 10th NFC East crown under Jeffrey Lurie’s ownership (most in the division since 2001) and established a single-season franchise mark with 14 wins this season. Philadelphia finished tied with Kansas City for the NFL’s best record (14-3). |
| Nick Sirianni became the fourth coach since the 1970 merger to win 14 games in their first or second career season as a head coach, joining Jim Caldwell (2009 Indianapolis Colts), Mike Martz (2001 St. Louis Rams) and George Seifert (twice, 1989-90 San Francisco 49ers). |
| This marks the Eagles’ 17th postseason trip under Lurie’s ownership. Since 2000, Philadelphia is tied for the 3rd-most playoff appearances (15) in the NFL, trailing only New England (18) and Green Bay (16). |
| The Eagles have clinched a playoff berth in five of the last six years (2017-19, 2021-22), marking the franchise’s best six-year span since making five consecutive postseason bids from 2000-04. Philadelphia is one of only three NFL teams to appear in the playoffs in five of the last six seasons, joining Kansas City (six) and Buffalo (five). |
| The Eagles are 11-2 in their last 13 games against the Giants, including wins in each of the last 3 meetings between the two clubs. In Week 14, Philadelphia scored a season-high 48 points vs. New York. In addition, the Eagles are 9-0 at home against the Giants since 2014. |
| This is the third time Philadelphia has faced the Giants in the playoffs at home (also W, 23-20 on 1/7/07 and L, 21-27 on 12/27/81). |
| The Eagles have the most Pro Bowl selections (eight) in the NFL this year – A.J. Brown, Landon Dickerson, Jalen Hurts, Lane Johnson, Jason Kelce, Haason Reddick, Miles Sanders and Darius Slay. Philadelphia also has six All-Pro honorees (the Eagles’ most All-Pro picks since the 2004 season) – Johnson and Kelce on the first team along with James Bradberry, Brown, Hurts and Reddick on the second team. |
| Philadelphia scored a franchise-record 477 points in 2022, including team records in total TDs (59), scrimmage TDs (57) and rushing TDs (32). The Eagles’ 32 rushing TDs tied for the 3rd-most in league history, trailing the 1962 Packers (36) as well as the 1976 Steelers (33). |
| Philadelphia became just the fifth NFL team since 1970 to rush for 25+ TDs in consecutive seasons, joining the 2002-05 Chiefs (four), 1994- 95 Cowboys, 1975-76 Baltimore Colts and 1974-75 Dolphins. |
| The Eagles also finished the regular season with franchise records in third-down conversion rate (45.9%, previously 45.7% in 2021) and red zone TD efficiency (67.8%, previously 66.7% in 2019). |
| During the regular season, Jalen Hurts led the Eagles to a 14-1 record (.933 winning percentage) as a starter, completing 306-of-460 (66.5%) attempts for 3,701 yards (8.0 avg.), 22 TDs, 6 INTs and a 101.6 passer rating. He also rushed for 760 yards and 13 TDs. In total, Hurts combined for 4,461 yards and 35 TDs in his third NFL campaign. |
| Hurts became the fourth NFL QB since 2000 to lead his team to 14+ wins while registering 35+ total TDs and 8-or-fewer giveaways, joining Patrick Mahomes (2020), Aaron Rodgers (2011) and Tom Brady (2010). At 24 years old, he became the second youngest QB in NFL history to win 14+ games, trailing only Dan Marino with Miami in 1984 (23). |
| Hurts tied the Eagles’ single-season record with 35 total TDs (also Randall Cunningham in 1990), which ranked 4th in the NFL, behind Mahomes (45), Josh Allen (42) and Joe Burrow (40). He also led the NFL in 20+ yard TDs (15). His 13 rushing TDs are the 2nd-most by a QB in league history, trailing only Cam Newton in 2011 (14). |
| Among NFL QBs with at least 500 pass attempts, Hurts finished 2nd in passer rating (101.5), yards per pass attempt (8.1) and TD/INT ratio (3.7). He also averaged the 3rd-most total yards per game (297.4), trailing only Mahomes (329.9) and Allen (315.3) in that category. |
| A.J. Brown (career-high 1,496 receiving yards) and DeVonta Smith (career-high 1,196 receiving yards) are the first 1,000+ yard receiving duo in franchise history. Brown and Smith joined Miami’s Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as the only receiving duo in the NFL to record 1,100+ receiving yards and 7+ TDs each this season. |
| Brown’s career-high 1,496 receiving yards finished 4th in the league behind Justin Jefferson (1,809), Tyreek Hill (1,710) and Davante Adams (1,516). In his first season with the Eagles, Brown set a single-season franchise record with 1,496 receiving yards, surpassing the previous mark owned by Mike Quick in 1983 (1,409). |
| Brown also tied for 3rd in the NFL with a career-high-tying 11 receiving TDs (also 2020), behind Davante Adams (14) and Travis Kelce (12). He also averaged 17.0 yards per catch, a figure that ranked 2nd in the league, trailing only Jaylen Waddle (18.1) (min. 50 catches). |
| DeVonta Smith finished his second NFL season with 95 receptions, which are the most by a WR in Eagles history, eclipsing the previous mark owned by Irving Fryar in 1996 (88). |
| Miles Sanders finished the regular season as one of three NFL RBs to produce 1,200+ rushing yards (career-high 1,269, 5th in NFL), 11+ rushing TDs (career-high 11) and a 4.5+ rushing average (4.9) this season, joining Josh Jacobs and Nick Chubb. He also became the third Eagles RB to record 1,200+ rushing yards and 10+ rushing TDs in a season, joining Ricky Watters (1995, 1996) and LeSean McCoy (2011). |
| Jason Kelce, who has started 139 consecutive regular-season games (longest active streak among NFL centers and the 2nd-longest streak ever in Eagles history), was named first-team All-Pro for the fifth time in his career. Since 1970, only three NFL centers have been first-team All-Pro five times: Dermontti Dawson (six), Mike Webster and Kelce. Dawson and Webster are both Pro Football Hall of Famers. |
| According to Pro Football Focus, Lane Johnson has not allowed a sack since Week 11 of 2020 or a QB hit since Week 7 of 2021. |
| Despite missing five games due to injury, Dallas Goedert ranked 2nd among all league TEs in yards per reception (12.8), trailing only Jordan Akins (13.4). Goedert also finished 3rd in yards after the catch (420), behind Travis Kelce (648) and Evan Engram (465), as well as 3rd in 20+ yard receptions (11), behind Kelce (19) and George Kittle (12). |
| Philadelphia finished the 2022 regular season with the No. 2 defense (301.5 ypg) in the NFL. The Eagles ranked 1st in sacks (70), opponent yards per play (4.78) and passing yards allowed per game (179.8). The defense also produced the 3rd-lowest opponent passer rating (81.6) and tied for 4th in both takeaways (27) and INTs (17). |
| The Eagles set a single-season franchise record with an NFL-leading 70 sacks. Since 1982, when sacks became an official statistic, only the 1984 Bears (72) and 1989 Vikings (71) have totaled more. |
| Philadelphia is the only NFL team since 1982 to have four different players record 10.0+ sacks in the same season – Haason Reddick (16.0), Brandon Graham (11.0), Javon Hargrave (11.0) and Josh Sweat (11.0). |
| Haason Reddick tied for the 2nd-most sacks (career-high 16.0) in the NFL, trailing only Nick Bosa (18.5). His 16.0 sacks are tied for the 3rdmost by any NFL player in their first season with a team, trailing only Shaquil Barrett with Tampa Bay in 2019 (19.5) and Bryce Paup with Buffalo in 1995 (17.5). Reddick, who also led the league with 5 strip sacks and 5 FFs (tied), became the first NFL player to produce 1.0+ sacks in three consecutive seasons with three different teams. |
| At age 34, Brandon Graham registered double-digit sacks (11.0) for the first time in his career. He is the oldest NFL player with 11.0+ sacks since Julius Peppers (age 37) and Terrell Suggs (age 35) in 2017. |
| Javon Hargrave recorded a career-high 11.0 sacks, which ranks 4th among NFL DTs this season, trailing Chris Jones (15.5), Quinnen Williams (12) and Daron Payne (11.5). Hargrave’s 11.0 sacks are the most by an Eagles DT since Andy Harmon in 1993 (11.5). |
| T.J. Edwards registered a career-high 159 total tackles, which finished 7th overall in the league. His 159 tackles are the 2nd-most by an Eagle in the last 31 seasons, trailing Byron Evans in 1992 (175). |
| James Bradberry finished with the 3rd-lowest passer rating allowed in the NFL (55.9) (min. 50 targets) and posted the 3rd-most PDs (17). Bradberry and Darius Slay are the only CB tandem in the league to both produce 14+ PDs and 3+ INTs. |
| Jake Elliott converted 5-of-5 FGs from 22, 32, 39, 52 and 54 in Week 18 vs. the Giants, setting a new career-high in FGs and recording a career-high-tying 16 points. He became the second player in team history to make two 50+ yard FGs in a game, joining Paul McFadden in 1984. |
| Fun Fact |
| The Giants are the second oldest franchise in the NFL. They joined the NFL in 1925 when original owner Tim Mara bought the team for $500, the only team older than the Green Bay Packers. The Giants are one of the league’s eight original teams, along with the Steelers, Eagles, Redskins, Lions, Packers, Bears and Cardinals. |
| A Trip through Time |
| For this week’s Trip through Time, let’s go back and look at the last time these two franchises faced off in the playoffs, which also happened to be a Divisional Round Game in 2008. Coming into the game the Giants were the top seed in the NFC and the defending Super Bowl champions. However, they had stumbled across the finish line of the regular season, losing three of their final four games including one at home to the Eagles. The Eagles finished 9-6-1 and were coming off (coincidentally) a wild card win against the Minnesota Vikings. Ahmad Bradshaw returned the opening kickoff to the Eagle 35-yard line and the Giants finished the drive with a 22-yard John Carney field goal. On the first play of New York's next drive, Asante Samuel came up with another big playoff interception for the Eagles, returning the ball inside the New York 5-yard line. Donovan McNabb stretched the ball over the plane for a touchdown on a quarterback sneak as Philadelphia took a 7–3 lead. New York punter Jeff Feagles pinned the Eagles deep in their own territory early in the second quarter, and the Giants defense forced McNabb into committing an intentional grounding penalty from his own endzone, giving the Giants a safety. Carney missed from 46 yards on the ensuing New York possession, but he was good from 34 yard on the next possession as New York went ahead 8–7. The Eagles' offense finally got on track on their last possession of the half, driving down the field and getting a 25-yard field goal by David Akers to take a 10–8 lead to the locker room. New York defensive lineman Fred Robbins came up with an interception of McNabb early in the third quarter, and New York retook the lead on a field goal. Philadelphia responded with an impressive drive highlighted by McNabb finding slot receiver Jason Avant for a 21-yard gain on 3rd-and-20 and running back Correll Buckhalter for 19 yards on 3rd-and-10. The drive ended in a short field goal and the Eagles led 13–11. Carney missed a 47-yarder on the next drive, and the Eagles capitalized with a 10-play drive capped with a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brent Celek. Early in the fourth quarter, on 4th-and-1 from the Giant 44-yard line, Eli Manning was stuffed on a quarterback sneak. On the next drive, the Eagles defensive line stopped Derrick Ward and Brandon Jacobs on third and fourth down. After the ball turned over on downs, McNabb placed a 48-yard bomb to DeSean Jackson. A field goal followed and the Eagles took a 23–11 lead. Quintin Mikell's interception of Manning essentially ended the game allowing the Eagles to run the clock down to 2:19 and force the Giants to use their final timeout with a comfortable two possession lead. Steve Smith fumbled on the following possession allowing the Eagles to kneel it the rest of the way and advance to the NFC Championship game where they fell to the Cardinals. |

| The More You Know |
| Evan Neal |
| Hooboy. Ok, Evan Neal. We’re going to talk about Evan Neal today. Eventually. If I can stop audibly chuckling at the absolute world of hurt Evan’s in for going up against Brandon Graham and Haason Reddick this Saturday evening. Anyone here watch the Week 14 matchup between these teams? How about last week’s Giants game against the Vikings? *Note from management to Giants fans:this is the point where you just cross your eyes like you’re deeply looking into an autostereogram. Go ahead. Call it a mental health timeout as you pre-empt a recurring nightmare between now and the end of the game. Ok, back to it. Let’s dig into the juicy stuff. In the regular season, he was PFF’s 3rd-worst Right Tackle on a pass blocking efficiency basis (per snap basis, weighted toward sacks). Of 45 RTs that had an appreciable number of snaps (20% of the snap count of the player with the most RT snaps this season, or 237 minimum), Evan Neal had a 94.6 pass block efficiency, having allowed 39 total pressures over 453 pass block snaps, 10 QB hits (last), 7 sacks (2nd-worst), and had the 5th lowest pass block grade at the position (47.5). Last week, he allowed the most pressures of the playing RTs (8), 1 sack and 7 hurries, and received the worst pass block grade by far (19.4). Week 14 against us? 20.2 pass block grade, 1 sack, 2 hits, 5 hurries. BG and Reddick combined for 5 sacks and 10 hurries. Reddick did amass the 2nd-most number of pressures on the defensive left side (62), while Graham had the 4th-highest Win Rate % of *all DEs, and PFF gave them the 4th and 5th highest Pass Rush grades for DEs (91.2 for Reddick and 90.5 for BG). They were 1st and 4th in the regular season for sacks (16 and 11). Tune in, it’s going to be good. |
| Matchups to Watch |
| Eagles Pass Rush vs the Giants OL |
| The Eagles pass rush led the league with 70 sacks, 7 of which came against the Giants in the week 14 matchup between the teams where the Eagles sacked Jones 4 times and backup Taylor 3 times in a 48-22 rout. The Eagles can create pressure all across the line, evident by the fact the Eagles became the first team to ever have 4 different linemen with 10+ sacks, they also broke the Eagles record for most sacks in a season. Getting pressure on Jones while keeping him contained will be a big key to this game. The Eagles were able to do that pretty well in the week 14 matchup where they got to him 4 times and limited him to just 26 yards on the ground on 4 rushes. A big part of this was the Eagles staying in their rush lanes and not getting too far upfield to give Jones an opportunity to run. If the Eagles can make Jones uncomfortable in the pocket and force him into mistakes it will go a long way in tilting the game in favor of the Eagles |
| Nick Sirianni and Shane Stiechen vs Themselves |
| Stiechen and Sirianni and their refusal to run the football the last few weeks of the season were a big reason the Eagles had to play their starters week 18 even if it was a very vanilla game plan against the Giants backups. The Eagles offense is at its best when it is a balanced attack as the running game opens up play-action and makes the RPO more dangerous. In week 15 vs the Bears and their 29th ranked run defense according to DVOA the Eagles refused to run the football to the running backs. Instead opting for Hurts to drop back 40 times and run the football 17 times compared to the 11 times by their Pro Bowl RB and 5 more by the other two running backs, all of this on a freezing cold and windy day in Chicago. The Eagles came away with a win, but lost Hurts to injury for the next two games. Then against the Saints last week and their 23rd ranked run defense, the two thought it was a brilliant idea to not run the ball until the second half and have the backup QB drop back 40 times instead of running the football with Sanders who was averaging 5.1 yards per carry in the game. The last time the offense was called in a balanced manner was week 14 against the Giants where Miles Sanders rushed for 144 yards, Hurts for 77 and Scott for 31 and the 3 combined for 4 rushing TDs. The Eagles also passed 31 times for 217 yards and 2 TDs in the game which the Eagles dominated from start to finish. This is the approach that Sirianni and Stichen need to remember works. They need to keep the offense balanced if they want to advance in the playoffs. |
| Eagles Passing Attack vs the Giants Pass Defense |
| Now that I have harped on the importance of running the ball and having a good game plan and balanced attack, the Eagles should certainly still throw the football. The Eagles have one of the best WRs duos in the league in Brown and Smith who both went over 1000 yards this season and the two 2692 yards and 18 TDs. The two both have big play ability to take it to the house on every possession and if you look at the WCB matchups in the earlier section, the Eagles have a big advantage over the Giants CBs. The two combined for 134 yards and 2 TDs in that game on the road to the Eagles most lopsided victory this season. The Eagles will also have Dallas Goedert this game who was missing in the week 14 matchup with a shoulder injury. If the Eagles can get the passing game humming with the rushing attack it could lead to some quick scoring drives that get the Eagles out ahead and force the Giants to play from behind. Playing from behind is not what the Giants want to do because their offense functions best when they are balanced and get Barkley going on the ground, but that offense is hard to run when you are down multiple scores. Look for the Eagles to look for some chunk plays early to get out in front. |
| Giants Rushing Attack vs the Eagles Run Defense |
| Much has been made about the Eagles and their rush defense throughout the season, though the run defense has been much improved since the Eagles added veterans Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh to the rotation and got rookie Jordan Davis back from injury. The Eagles will need to replicate what they did in the first matchup between these teams where they held Barkley to 28 yards on 9 carries and Jones to 26 yards on 4. The Eagles run defense needs to limit the Giants running attack on first and second down and force them into third and long which is somewhere they do not want to be with their 26th ranked pass defense. This is something the Eagles did quite well in week 14 where they forced the Giants into 3rd and 6+ yards on their first 4 possessions all of which ended in punts. If the Eagles can do the same and make the Giants one dimensional, it will be a key to the game as the Giants WRs will have a tough time getting open against the Eagles secondary especially with the pass rush the Eagles can generate with just 4 rushers. |

2023.01.06 22:53 Rsubs33 Game Preview Week 18 Philadelphia Eagles (13-3) vs the New York Giants(9-6-1) Game Preview
| Philadelphia Eagles (13-3) vs the New York Giants (9-6-1) |
| The Eagles failed to clinch the NFC East the last two weeks against the Cowboys and Saints with Gardner Minshew at the helm. The game was winnable last week, however the coaching staff failed to account for having a backup QB starting and must have forgotten they had a Pro Bowl running back on the roster. In the game Steichen and Sirianni had Minshew drop back 40 times while just handing it off to Miles Sanders 12 times in the game including giving him zero touches in the first quarter. The Eagles were completely unprepared for the Saints game and it showed. The coaching staff needs to do a better job this weekend against the Giants and in the playoffs by utilizing the run game especially when it is working (Sanders was averaging 5.1 YPC against the Saints). Not only to keep the offense balanced, but to help protect Hurts from being injured again. Speaking of Hurts he looks to return this week against the rival Giants in hopes of clinching the NFCE and the number one seed in the playoffs to give the Eagles a first round bye. Hurts won’t be the only player who could potentially return to action, the Eagles also activated the practice windows of Robert Quinn and CJ Garnder Johnson who could provide a boost to the defense. This is especially true for CGJ who since he has gone out the secondary has not looked the same and the turnover numbers for the defense have dropped. Quinn would also like to make an impact and get in on the sack attack for the Eagles since they traded for him from the Bears. The Eagles will most likely face off against a Giants team that will be missing some key players since the Giants clinched the 6th seed in the playoffs and are locked in to that spot. Daboll has been silent on the topic, but reports out of the Giants practice tell us we most likely will not see guys like Saquan Barkley, Daniel Jones, Dexter Lawrence and more. This is great news for the Eagles, but they still need to win against the football team, the Giants have an experienced back up in Tyrod Taylor who will still be looking to win and the Giants staff will have their team prepared. For that reason the Eagles can not overlook this game as getting the bye week will be a big help for guys like Lane Johnson who plan to play in the playoffs and for Josh Sweat who is recovering from neck/shoulder injury suffered in last week's game. With Hurts back at least he will fit into the offense which was never changed to fit Minshew’s skill set. The coaching staff needs to learn on the run and keep the offense balanced this week and minimize hits on Hurts. Let’s hope the team is more prepared with a better game plan this week and get a W and a first round bye. Go Birds! |

| The Eagles took a trip up I95 to take on their division rival the NY Football Giants in a matchup of two teams going in different directions. The Eagles were on a 3 games win streak going into the Game where the Giants hadn’t put up a W in a few weeks. That trend continued Sunday as the Eagles came out and dominated both sides of the football. Hurts improved his MVP credentials by throwing for 217 yards and hitting DaVonta Smith on a 41-yard fourth-down TD strike and A.J. Brown on a 33-yarder as the Eagles (12-1) scored on their first three possessions. The third-year quarterback also ran for 77 yards, highlighted by a 10-yard TD scamper late in the third quarter. Miles Sanders also ran for 144 yards, scored on runs of 3 and 40 yards and hit the 1,000-yard mark for the season (1,068) as the Eagles handed the Giants their worst loss under first-year coach Brian Daboll. Jake Elliott kicked two field goals and the defense finished with seven sacks, including three by Brandon Graham as the Eagles clinched a playoff berth in their second consecutive seasons. |

| Jake Fromm made his first career NFL start as the Giants visited the Eagles seeking to even their all-time series and complete their first season sweep of Philadelphia since the 2007 season. Both teams got off to a slow start in what was making out to be a defensive stalemate.. However, miscues on both sides of the ball by Giants in the second half would lead to the Eagles blowing the game wide open. Fromm completed 6 of 17 passes for 25 yards and an interception before being benched in the third quarter for Mike Glennon. Glennon was an upgrade and would finish 17 of 27 for 93 yards with a garbage-time touchdown to Evan Engram. However, prior to that garbage time TD he had one to the other team when he threw a pick-six to Alex Singleton with 10 minutes left to put the Eagles up 31-3. Lane Johnson had his first career touchdown for the Eagles late in the game on a 5 yard pass from Jalen Hurts in the 4th quarter. |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| The Eagles were again without QB Jalen Hurts, though apparently the coaching staff was unaware he was missing from the offense and decided to have backup Gardner Minshew drop back 40 times against the number 4 ranked passing defense. The Eagles didn’t hand the ball off to pro bowl RB Miles Sanders til the middle of the second quarter and and refused to stick with him despite him averaging 5.1 yards per carry on his 12 attempts for 61 yards. The Eagles coaching staff came into this game with the worst possible game plan possible and it showed. The Saints rank 23rd against the run, yet the Eagles ran the ball less than 30% of the time against them despite the run game being effective. Additionally, the coaching staff tried to run the sneak play with the much smaller Minshew only to see it fail on 4th down. The only reason the game was even close was due to great play by the defense. After giving up a long TD drive on the opening drive they clamped down and played well sacking the Saints QBs multiple times. However poor play by the backup QB and an even worse offensive game plan by Sirianni and Stiechen led to an ugly loss by the Eagles when a win could have clinched them the number 1 seed. |
| Giants |
| The Giants took on the struggling Colts in week 17 with the playoffs on the line. The Giants dominated the game from start to finish on both sides of the ball. The Giants broke the game open with 24 points in the second quarter; Daniel Jones had two passing touchdowns then Landon Collins returned an interception for a touchdown. Jones added two more touchdowns with his legs in the second half, and it was the first game since his NFL debut that he finished with two passing and two rushing touchdowns. The Giants routed the Indianapolis Colts 38-10 Sunday to return to the postseason for the first time since 2016 clinching the 6th seed in the playoffs. |

| Philadelphia is tied for the best record in the NFL and is 13-3 for just the third time in franchise history (also 2004 and 2017 seasons). |
| The Eagles rank 1st in the NFL with a team-record 57 TDs as well as a 72.2% red zone TD efficiency (franchise record: 66.7% in 2019). |
| Philadelphia owns the 3rd-best scoring offense (28.4 ppg) in the NFL (including a season-high 48 points in Week 14 at N.Y. Giants), behind Kansas City (29.1 ppg) and Dallas (28.8 ppg). The Eagles (455) are 20 points shy of breaking their franchise record (474 in 2014). |
| Philadelphia also leads the league with a team-record 31 rushing TDs, which are tied for the 6th-most in NFL history, trailing only the 1962 Packers (36), 1948 49ers (35), 1976 Steelers (33), 2006 Chargers (32), and 2003 Chiefs (32). The Eagles are just the fifth team since 1970 to rush for 25+ TDs in consecutive years, joining the 2002-05 Chiefs (4), 1994-95 Cowboys, 1975-76 Colts, and 1974-75 Dolphins. |
| Jalen Hurts has produced 35 total TDs (22 passing, 13 rushing), tying Randall Cunningham (1990) for the most in franchise history. His 13 rushing TDs are the most ever by an Eagles QB and are the 2nd-most by a QB in NFL history, trailing only Cam Newton in 2011 (14). |
| Philadelphia’s offense features three players with 10+ scrimmage TDs each – Jalen Hurts (13 rushing), A.J. Brown (11 receiving), and Miles Sanders (11 rushing) – for the first time in team history. |
| The Eagles own the No. 1 defense (302.6 ypg) in the NFL. Philadelphia also ranks 1st in sacks (franchise-record 68), opponent yards per play (4.8) and passing yards allowed per game (181.3), T-2nd in takeaways (27), 3rd in opponent passer rating (82.0) and T-3rd in INTs (17). |
| The Eagles’ league-leading 68 sacks are 16 sacks more than the next closest team (52 - New England) and 4 sacks shy of the NFL record, behind the 1984 Bears (72), 1989 Vikings (71) and 1987 Bears (70). Philadelphia is the only NFL team since 1982 (when sacks became an official statistic) to record 6+ sacks in 5 consecutive games. |
| The Eagles are the only NFL team since 1982 to have four players – Haason Reddick (16.0), Brandon Graham (11.0), Javon Hargrave (11.0) and Josh Sweat (11.0) – record 10+ sacks in the same season. |
| Haason Reddick ranks 2nd in the NFL with a career-high 16.0 sacks, trailing only Nick Bosa (17.5). Reddick, who also leads the league with 5 strip sacks and 5 FFs (tied with Alex Highsmith), is just the third NFL player since 2000 to record 16+ sacks, 5+ FFs and 3+ FRs in a season, joining T.J. Watt (2021) and Chandler Jones (2019). He is the first Eagle with 0.5+ sacks in 8 straight games since Reggie White (1986-87). |
| A.J. Brown (career-high 1,401) and DeVonta Smith (career-high 1,129) are the first 1,000+ yard receiving duo in franchise history. The only other NFL tandem to record 1,000+ receiving yards each this season is Miami’s Tyreek Hill (1,687) and Jaylen Waddle (1,312). |
| Brown’s career-high 1,401 receiving yards rank 4th in the NFL, behind Justin Jefferson (1,771), Tyreek Hill (1,687) and Davante Adams (1,443). Brown, who has a league-high 570 receiving yards since Week 13, is only 8 yards shy of Mike Quick’s franchise record (1,409 in 1983). |
| Brown also ranks 3rd in the NFL with a career-high-tying 11 receiving TDs, trailing only Davante Adams (14) and Travis Kelce (12). |
| Smith is tied for the 3rd-most receptions (88, 9th among NFL WRs) in team single-season history (tied with Irving Fryar in 1996 for most by an Eagles WR), behind Zach Ertz in 2018 (116) and Brian Westbrook in 2007 (90). He is also tied with Jordan Matthews (152, 2014-15) for the most catches by an Eagle in their first two NFL seasons. |
| Smith is the first Eagle to produce 100+ receiving yards in 3 straight games since Terrell Owens during the 2004 campaign (5). |
| Miles Sanders has rushed for the 5th-most yards (career-high 1,236) in the NFL, behind Josh Jacobs (1,608), Nick Chubb (1,448), Derrick Henry (1,429) and Saquon Barkley (1,312). He is one of only four NFL players with 1,200+ rushing yards and 11+ rushing TDs. |
| Dallas Goedert leads all NFL TEs in receiving average (13.4) and ranks 3rd in 20+ yard receptions (11), behind Travis Kelce (19) and George Kittle (12). Despite missing 5 games due to injury, he still ranks in the Top 7 among TEs in receiving yards (656, 7th) and YAC (387, 4th). |
| Jason Kelce has started 138 consecutive regular-season games, which is the 2nd-longest active streak in the NFL, trailing only Jake Matthews (143). It is also the longest streak by any NFL center since Casey Wiegmann’s 175-game stretch from 2001-11. The streak is the 2nd-longest in franchise history, behind Jon Runyan (144, 2000-08). |
| Javon Hargrave is 0.5 sacks shy of tying Andy Harmon in 1993 (11.5) for the most sacks ever by an Eagles DT. Hargrave’s career-high 11.0 sacks rank 4th among NFL DTs this season, trailing only Chris Jones (13.0), Quinnen Williams (12.0) and Daron Payne (11.5). |
| T.J. Edwards has registered a career-high 149 tackles, which ranks 8th in the NFL. His 149 tackles are the 3rd-most by an Eagle since 1991, behind Byron Evans in 1992 (175) and Andre Waters in 1991 (156). |
| Fun Fact |
| The Giants were the first team to ever retire a jersey number. The number 1 was worn by end and assistant coach Ray Flaherty from 1928 to 1935. The jersey number was taken out of circulation when Flaherty left in 1935. After his years with the Giants, Flaherty went on to become the head coach for the Boston/Washington Redskins, where he never had a losing season. Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1976, he is credited with inventing the behind-the-line screen pass in 1937. |
| A Trip through Time |
| The Eagles and Giants faced off in a crucial divisional game that would pretty much crown the division winner in week 15 of the 2010 season. With just under eight minutes to play in the fourth quarter, the Giants went up 21 points with an Eli Manning Touchdown to TE Kevin Boss in what should have put the game out of reach. The Eagles scored quickly on their next possession as Mike Vick hit Brent Celek on a 65 yard TD catch. On the ensuing kickoff, the Eagles caught the Giants off-guard with an onside kick which they recovered. A couple Vick runs and the Eagles were within a touchdown with over 5 minutes left the play. The Eagles defense came up with a big stop before Vick ran down the field multiple times on broken plays before hitting Maclin in the end zone on a TD pass. The Eagles defense was able to stand strong again forcing a Giants punt with 14 seconds left on the clock. I will pass it off to Mr. Reese again. “14 seconds to go. 31-31 Matt Dodge to punt. It's a high snap. He gets it away, it's a knuckler. Desean Jackson takes it at 35. He drops it! Picks it up. Looks for running room, he’s at the 40. He’s at the 45. Ohhh 40! Ohhh! He's gonna go. Desean Jackson, I don't care if he jumps, dives. He's running around. He is in the end zone and there's no time. The Eagles Win! The Eagles Win! He ran around til all the zeros were on the clock and the Giants fans can’t believe it. And the Eagles have just pulled off the most remarkable win I have ever seen.” The Eagles went on to win the division before losing to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers in the playoffs.

| The More You Know |
| The Kickoff |
| Let it be known that according to PFF, your 2022 Kickoff Crown goes to no other kicker but…drumroll…Jake Elliott! with an 85.7 grade. Elliott is currently 7th in YPA (69.9), while Graham Gano sits at 25th (66.3) to go along with his 61.2 Kickoff grade. Elliott is 9th in netting an average field position of 25.3, vs. Gano’s 27.0 (20th). Due to poor ST play, Elliott’s squad has also allowed the 3rd-most yards per return (25.8) vs. 9th-most for the Giants (23.5). Elliott has had 58 touchbacks to Gano’s 48. Gano is tied for 12th in terms of longest hang time on kickoffs (4.01s) vs. 3.95s for Elliott (t-16th). Lastly, when it comes to return%, Elliott has had the 12th-lowest at 31.0 vs. 21st for Gano at 40.0% |
| Matchups to Watch |
| Eagles Pass Rush vs the Giants OL |
| The Eagles pass rush has been on fire the last few weeks amassing 6 or more sacks in each of the last 4 games, with the first in the streak being against the Giants where the Eagles sacked Daniel Jones 7 times in a 48-22 rout. With Graham passing 10 sacks last week the Eagles became the first team to ever have 4 different linemen with 10+ sacks, they also broke the Eagles record for most sacks in a season. The Eagles are now in striking distance of another sack record as they are just 5 sacks away from breaking the 1984 Bears record for most sacks in a season (granted they will be doing it in one additional game). The Eagles will most likely see Tyrod Taylor at QB, along with some other backups giving them the opportunity to feast and continue their streak of 6+sacks. |
| Eagles Offense vs themselves |
| The Eagles offense shooting themselves in the foot seems to be a common occurrence the last two weeks. Hopefully the return of Hurts can stop that trend. Turnovers have been a problem for the Eagles the last two weeks with Minshew at the helm, that should stop with Hurts who has done a good job of protecting the football this season. Hurts' more familiar cadence should also help curb some of the false start penalties that we saw stalling drives. The Eagles are the better football team and had their way with the Giants defense last time these two teams faced off, with the Giants most likely resting a number of starters the Eagles just need to play smart and protect the football and they should be able to pull out a win as long as they are not beating themselves. |
| Miles Sanders vs the Giants Run Defense |
| Sanders has been held in check the last three weeks, once by the Cowboys and the other two games by the coaching staff who refused to use him against the Bears and Saints which cost Jalen Hurts getting injured vs the Bears and a loss vs the Saints. Had the coaching staff used Sanders last week, we may be talking about resting our starters this week instead of it being a must win game. Sanders has had a great year which has led to a Pro Bowl nod for the RB after he has amassed 1236 yards and 11 TDs this season. Sanders had a huge game in week 14 running for 144 yards and 2 TDs in the Eagles win. The Eagles would be smart to lean on Sanders and the running backs again in this game to help keep Jalen Hurts upright and healthy for the playoffs. If the Eagles get the run game going and can get a nice lead against the Giants backups they may be able to put Hurts and some of the starters late in the game and run out the clock. |
| Nick Sirianni and Shane Stiechen vs Themselves |
| Stiechen and Sirianni and their refusal to run the football the last few weeks are a big reason the Eagles are not resting their starters with the number one seed locked up this week. In week 15 vs the Bears and their 29th ranked run defense according to DVOA the Eagles refused to run the football to the running backs. Instead opting for Hurts to drop back 40 times and run the football 17 times compared to the 11 times by their Pro Bowl RB and 5 more by the other two running backs, all of this on a freezing cold and windy day in Chicago. The Eagles came away with a win, but lost Hurts to injury for the next two games. Then against the Saints last week and their 23rd ranked run defense, the two thought it was a brilliant idea to not run the ball until the second half and have the backup QB drop back 40 times instead of running the football with Sanders who was averaging 5.1 yards per carry in the game. These two need to remember they have a great run blocking OL and a Pro Bowl running back on the roster this week and in the playoffs. The Eagles lose games when they lose the TOP battle and that occurs when we do not run the football. Add it to help limit hits on Hurts; it would be smart to run the ball. Lets see if these two can come up with a winning game plan that keeps our QB healthy this week. Hopefully it has a healthy dose of Sanders early and often and maybe a little bit of Scott and Gainwell mixed in as well. |

2022.12.31 04:49 Rsubs33 Game Preview Week 17 Philadelphia Eagles (13-2) vs the New Orleans Saints(6-9) Game Preview
| Philadelphia Eagles (13-2) at the New Orleans Saints (6-9) |
| It looks like the Eagles will once again be without starting QB Jalen Hurts who is listed as doubtful for the game against the Saints as the Eagles look to clinch the number one seed in the playoffs with a win. That will be easier said than done though, the Saints still have a top defense which allows them to hang in games and play people tight. Additionally, the Saints have a lot to play for as they are still in the playoff hunt in the terrible NFC South where no team has a winning record. The Eagles are the better team on paper, but can’t shoot themselves in the football like they did last week which cost them the football game and their chance to clinch the division against their rival. Still the Eagles control their own destiny and only need to win one of their remaining two games to take the division and the first round bye in the playoffs. The Eagles need to stop the Saints rushing attack and force them to pass, they are depleted at WR with Landry and Thomas on the IR and Olave banged up and Questionable. If the Eagles can stop the run they should have a definitive advantage both with their pass rush and their secondary vs the Saints. On offense the Eagles should look to run against the Saints 23rd ranked rush defense as opposed to passing against the Saints secondary. That said Brown and Smith are coming off back to back 100 yard games and have been amazing against whoever they have gone up against including the Cowboys Pro Bowl corner Trevon Diggs. The biggest thing for the Eagles offense will be protecting the football, they had multiple opportunities to win against Dallas last week and shot themselves in the foot with bad and costly turnovers. If the Eagles can stop the run and protect the football they should be able to clinch the division and rest up for a playoff run next week and in the first round with a bye. Happy Holidays and Go birds! |

Jalen Hurts ran for three touchdowns, Darius Slay returned an interception for a score and the Eagles beat the New Orleans Saints 40-29 on Sunday. Miles Sanders ran for 94 yards, Hurts had 69, Jordan Howard added 63 and the Eagles racked up 242 yards on the ground against a team that allowed 72.9 yards rushing per game. The Eagles have surpassed 175 yards rushing in four straight games, including 200-plus in three victories in that span. The Eagles were able to survive a late push by the Saints, but the Eagles offense was too much. |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| The Eagles traveled to Dallas to take on the Cowboys without their starting QB Jalen Hurts who was missing the game with a strained shoulder suffered the previous week. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew started the Eagles' road finale against the arch-rival Cowboys in place of Hurts. Despite a solid performance by Minshew, Philadelphia was doomed by a season-high four turnovers, all of which led to scoring drives for Dallas who came away with a close win. |
| Saints |
| Playing in the coldest game in franchise history with the wind-chill temperature in negative digits and with their faint playoff hopes on the line, the New Orleans Saints rallied from a 10-point deficit to defeat the Cleveland Browns 17-10 on Saturday at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland. Eliminating the Browns and their rapist QB from playoff contention. The Saints (6-9), who have their first winning streak of the season, are tied with Carolina (6-9) for second place in the NFC South, a half- game behind Tampa (6-8). The Buccaneers play at Arizona (4-10) on Sunday. The Saints need to win their final two games and get some help to win the division. |

| Philadelphia owns the best record in the NFL and is 13-2 for just the third time in franchise history, having previously done so in 2004 and 2017 (finished both seasons with a team-record-tying 13 wins). |
| Nick Sirianni is just the third coach over the last two decades (since 2003) to start 13-2 or better in their first or second career year as a head coach (Jim Caldwell in 2009 and Doug Pederson in 2017). |
| The Eagles rank 1st in the NFL with a team-record 57 TDs. |
| Philadelphia also leads the league with a franchise-record 31 rushing TDs, which are tied for the 6th-most in NFL history, behind the 1962 Packers (36), 1948 49ers (35), 1976 Steelers (33), 2006 Chargers (32) and 2003 Chiefs (32). The Eagles are just the fifth team since the 1970 merger to rush for 25+ TDs in consecutive years, joining the 2002-05 Chiefs (4), 1994-95 Cowboys, 1975-76 Colts and 1974-75 Dolphins. |
| Jalen Hurts has produced 35 total TDs (22 passing, 13 rushing), tying Randall Cunningham (1990) for the most in franchise history. His 13 rushing TDs are the most ever by an Eagles QB and are the 2nd-most by a QB in NFL history, trailing only Cam Newton in 2011 (14). |
| A.J. Brown (career-high 1,304) and DeVonta Smith (career-high 1,014) are the first 1,000+ yard receiving duo in franchise history. The only other NFL tandem with 1,000+ receiving yards each so far this season is Miami’s Tyreek Hill (1,632) and Jaylen Waddle (1,260). |
| Brown and Smith have both posted 100+ receiving yards in the same game in 3 of the last 4 contests, including back-to-back weeks. They are the first Eagles duo to accomplish that feat in consecutive games since Brent Celek and DeSean Jackson during the 2009 campaign. |
| Since Week 13, Brown (473) and Smith (405) rank 2nd and 3rd in the NFL in receiving yards, respectively, trailing only Justin Jefferson (524). In that span, Smith leads the NFL in 20+ yard catches (9), while Brown (7) is tied with Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb for the 2nd-most. |
| Brown (10) and Smith (career-high 7) have combined for 17 receiving TDs, tying Buffalo’s Stefon Diggs (10) and Gabe Davis (7) for the 2nd most by any duo in the league this season (most by any NFC pairing), behind Kansas City’s Travis Kelce (12) and Jerick McKinnon (6). |
| A.J. Brown ranks 4th in the league with a career-high 1,304 receiving yards, trailing only Justin Jefferson (1,756), Tyreek Hill (1,632) and Stefon Diggs (1,325). He is also tied for the 3rd-most receiving TDs (10) in the NFL, behind Travis Kelce (12) and Davante Adams (12). |
| Brown, who broke Terrell Owens’ (1,200 in 2004) record for the most receiving yards by an Eagle in their first season with the team, is 105 yards shy of Mike Quick’s franchise record (1,409 in 1983). |
| Philadelphia leads the NFL with 61 sacks, which is 1 QB takedown shy of the Eagles’ single-season record (62 in 1989). The Eagles, who also rank 1st in the league in sacks per pass attempt (12.4%), are the only NFL team since 1982 to have 6+ sacks in 4 consecutive games. |
| Philadelphia is the third NFL team since 1982 to have three players – Haason Reddick (14.0), Josh Sweat (11.0) and Javon Hargrave (10.0) – each record 10.0+ sacks in a season, joining the 1985 Raiders and 1989 Vikings. If Brandon Graham (9.0) records a sack on Sunday, the Eagles would become the first defense to have four such players. |
| Reddick ranks 3rd in the league with a career-high 14.0 sacks (most by an Eagle since Connor Barwin’s 14.5 in 2014), behind Nick Bosa (17.5) and Matt Judon (15.5). He also ranks 1st in the NFL strip sacks (5) and is tied with Alex Highsmith for the league lead in FFs (5). |
| Josh Sweat, who has a career-high 11.0 sacks this season, has totaled QB takedowns in each of his last 5 games (longest active streak in the NFL and longest streak by an Eagle since Juqua Parker in 2009). His 7.5 sacks Week 12 are tied with Josh Uche for the most in the NFL. |
| Miles Sanders is tied for the 4th-most rushing TDs (career-high 11) among NFL RBs, trailing only Jamaal Williams (14), Derrick Henry (13) and Nick Chubb (12). He also ranks 5th in rushing yards (career-high 1,175), behind Josh Jacobs (1,539), Henry (1,429), Chubb (1,344) and Saquon Barkley (1,254). Sanders is the first Eagle to rush for 1,100+ yards and 11+ TDs in a season since LeSean McCoy in 2011. |
| Despite missing 5 games earlier this year due to injury, Dallas Goedert still ranks in the Top 10 among NFL TEs in receiving yards (611, 7th), yards after the catch (378, 4th), yards per reception (13.3, 3rd) and catch rate (82.1%, 2nd). He also ranks 3rd among TEs with 11 catches of 20+ yards, behind Travis Kelce (19) and George Kittle (12). |
| Javon Hargrave, who has recorded 7.5+ sacks in back-to-back years, ranks 3rd among NFL DTs with a career-high 10.0 sacks, which are the most by an Eagles DT since Fletcher Cox in 2018 (10.5). |
| T.J. Edwards ranks 8th in the NFL (3rd in NFC) with a career-high 138 tackles, which are the 3rd-most by an Eagle since 1991, trailing only Byron Evans in 1992 (175) and Andre Waters in 1991 (156). |
| James Bradberry is tied for the 2nd-most PDs (15) in the NFL this season, trailing only Sauce Gardner (16). He also ranks 2nd in opponent passer rating (51.2), behind Gardner (50.2) in that category. |
| The Past 4 weeks, the Saints have run 6 OL sets 30% of the time |
| The Saints have the second highest % of Power Runs (Ravens are 1st) and they have run a single end around, reverse or lateral this season. |
| Brown and Smith are #2 and #3 in receiving yards against Man coverage this season (Jefferson is the first), this is the most for any Eagle in the NextGen Era. |
| Fun Fact |
| The Eagles have three interception return TDs in franchise history against the Saints and all three were by Eric Allen. In the 1992 playoff game, Allen picked off Hebert in that 26-point fourth quarter and returned it 18 yards for a TD. And in a 37-26 Eagles win late in the 1993 season Allen picked off Walsh twice, returning the INTs 33 yards in the third quarter and 25 yards in the fourth quarter for touchdowns. Allen is the only player ever with three INT return TDs vs. the Saint. |
| A Trip through Time |
| In 1993, the Eagles finished second in the division at 11-5 behind the Dallas Cowboy and faced off against the Saints in the wild card round of the playoffs. The Saints struck first with a 1 yard run by Craig Heyward, but the Eagles answered with a 57 yard TD pass by Randall Cunningham in the first quarter. After that though the Eagles offense went silent and it was all Saints for the next two quarters. Going up 20-7 in the third. The Eagles were able to cut the lead to 10 to close out the 3rd quarter, but trailed 20-10 as it headed into the 4th quarter and the final 15 minutes of the game. The 4th quarter began with the Saints facing a 3rd-and-1 on their own 29-yard line. Hebert tried to hit Kelvin Martin over the middle, but the pass fell incomplete and after Tommy Barnhardt’s punt and Vai Sikahema’s 12-yard return, the Eagles started at their own 36. And this is where the most dominating 4th quarter playoff performance in history begins. Randall went 5-6 on the drive converting 3 first downs and connected with Fred Barnett for the second time in the game, this time for 35 yards to bring the game within 3 after the extra point. On the ensuing possession’s first play, Seth Joyner picked off Bobby Hebert and returned it 14 yards to the 26 yard line. The Eagles marched in and took the lead with a Heath Sherman 6 yard run to make 24-20. Following the TD, the Saints had a penalty and a loss of three on a screen pass to Vaughn Dunbar left the Saints with a 3rd-and-23 on their own 7 when Reggie White beat Richard Cooper and sacked Hebert in the end zone for a safety with 5:36 left. After the kick, the Eagles ran the ball on 4 straight plays netting 33 yards before kicking a field goal with 5:36 left giving them a 2 possession lead. On the Saints’ second play of their next drive, Eric Allen stepped in front of Saints receiver Wesley Carroll and picked off Hebert and ran untouched into the end zone for a 36-20 lead with 2:17 left. In the span of just 18 offensive plays by the Eagles and Saints, the Eagles had scored 26 points. 26 points in a 4th quarter remain the most scored by a team in the 4th quarter. The Eagles’ 26 points at the time were a franchise record for any game. They’ve since scored 28 twice in a fourth quarter against the Giants in 2010, in the Miracle in the Meadowlands 2 and against the Lions 2013. It was the greatest postseason collapse in Saints history and the greatest comeback in Eagles postseason history. Even though it wasn’t the greatest comeback in the NFL that day (earlier, Frank Reich rallied the Bills from a 35-3 deficit to a 41-38 win over the Oilers). It was the only playoff win in an Eagles uniform for Reggie White, Eric Allen, Seth Joyner, Clyde Simmons and several other all-time great Eagles. Their exodus sparked by Norman Braman’s refusal to offer Reggie White a competitive contract in the early days of free agency would begin soon, but for that 4th quarter, the nucleus Buddy Ryan built before being fired two years earlier finally lived up to its potential. |

| Matchups to Watch |
| Eagles Pass Rush vs the Saints OL |
| Saints OL took a hit in the offseason when they lost LT Terron Armstead to FA and it took another hit last week when LG Andrus Peat was carted off and has been ruled out for this week’s game. The Eagles currently have 3 players with at least 10 sacks (Reddick, Sweat and Hargrave) and lead the league in sacks with 61. They are one shy of the single-season team record of 62, set in 1989 under Buddy Ryan. They are 11 shy of the single-season NFL record of 72, set in 1984 by the Bears, also under Buddy Ryan. The Eagles can create pressure from all across the line which could spell trouble for Andy Dalton who is much more comfortable in the pocket. Former Eagle Josh Andrews will be filling in for Peat which could spell trouble for the Saints as he will have his handles full with Cox and Hargrave. On the outside the Saints tackles have surrendered a combined 7 sacks and 44 pressures and those two will have to deal with Sweat and Reddick who have both been on a tear in recent weeks and will look to continue that Sunday vs the Saints. |
| Eagles Offense vs themselves |
| The Eagles offense shot themselves in the foot repeatedly last week. Twice the Eagles jumped out to 10 point leads against the Cowboys only to turn it over on the following possession and give the Cowboys points. Two INTs and two costly fumbles cost the Eagles the game and their change at clinching the number 1 seed this week. The Eagles were great protecting the football all season with Hurts under center, but with Minshew they had two fumbles and two INTs, none of these you can put squarely on Minshew; both INTs were ripped out of the hands of Watkins, one fumble was squarely on Sanders and the other Scott never closed his arms around the ball on the handoff. The Eagles are clearly the better team on paper, but the Saints have a talented defense and will stick in the game if the Eagles make mistakes again and turnover the football. If the Eagles want to clinch the first round seed they need to be smart and protect the football or it will come down to week 18 vs the Giants next week. |
| Eagles rush defense vs the Saints two headed rushing attack |
| After being gashed by the Redskins 7 weeks ago the Eagles rushing defense looks in much better shape and did a decent job last week holding Zeke and Pollard in check. This week they will have to face off against another two headed running attack though this one is a little bit different as it will be against Kamara and the swiss army knife known as Taysom Hill who lines up at QB, RB, WR and TE. The two have combined for 1222 and 8 TDs this season and the Saints offense is at its best when it can get these two going. Last week in the Saints’ win over the Browns, Kamara accounted for 110 of their 244 offensive yards. He had 20 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown and caught 2 passes for 34 yards. The Eagles need to continue to be stout against the run again this week to force the Saints to try to throw the football and make them one dimensional to allow the pass rush to do its thing and create turnovers. The Saints want to run and rely on the defense, the Eagles need to make them beat them with the pass this week and the first step will be stopping the run and forcing them into 3rd and longs. |
| Jonathan Gannon vs himself |
| Gannon’s defense has been good this year, but it has also been painful to watch at times when he tries to get too cute. There isn’t a better example of this than last week against the Cowboys after getting them in 3rd and 30. Rather than having his defense drop into Cover-2 and line up deep to play the stick and keep everything in front he decided to have Josiah Scott play up to make the coverage look like Cover-1 presnap and he never had a chance to get into the deep half before Hilton blew by him to catch the first down. This Eagles defense is more talented than the Saints offense at this point in time due to injuries and the Saints still figuring out the QB position, the Eagles just need to stick to the game plan and not get cute especially with backups in the game. Stop the run and put pressure on Dalton and this should lead to an Eagles win. |

Hello Irish Faithful!
Bowl Season is here! In this week's matchup the Fighting Irish will take on the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Gator Bowl. With Drew Pyne leaving Tyler Buchner looks to helm the Irish once again. The run game should be important in this game as the Gamecocks have a bad run defense. The Irish Defense look to contain the Gamecocks QB and shutdown their passing game. I hope all of you are having a great end to 2022 and Happy New Years!

https://www.oddsshark.com/ncaaf/ohio-state-georgia-odds-december-31-2022-1801831 Can someone explain this to me? I only have an elementary understanding of betting.
The line has stayed at 6.5 with most of the bets falling on Georgia. Why wouldn't the line move to offset what appears to be an easy payday for people betting on Georgia?
Is Vegas lowkey saying they think we will win??
Sorry if it's a dumb question. Just surprised to see someone choosing tOSU to win straight up.

2022.12.23 17:51 Rsubs33 Game Preview Week 16 Philadelphia Eagles (13-1) at the Dallas Cowboys(10-4) Game Preview
| Philadelphia Eagles (13-1) at the Dallas Cowboys (10-4) |
| I think a lot of people were excited when the schedule came out that we would get the Eagles vs the Cowboys on Christmas Eve with each fanbase hoping for an early Christmas present. And it looked even juicier as the two teams got off to torrid starts. The game took a hit this week after Jalen Hurts sprained his shoulder in a win vs the Bears and it was announced backup Gardner Minshew would start. This of course after Dak Prescott missed the first matchup between the two teams earlier this season with a hand injury. Still as Queen said, The Show Must Go On. Even with swapping out Minshew for Hurts, the Eagles are a formidable foe. They currently have one of the best defenses in football and lead the league in sacks, turnovers, interceptions and yards per play. This could be bad news for Dak Prescott who has 11 interceptions in just 9 games this season and two fumbles with one being lost. Dallas is going to look to run first in this game though they are the 7th most run heavy in the team, which the Eagles should be used to at this point after facing three teams which are all also very run heavy the last three weeks with the Bears, Giants and Titans. The Eagles were able to hold all three teams rushing attacks in check outside of a few big runs by Justin Fields last week which allowed them to make the opposing teams one dimensional and allowed them to get after the QB. Dallas has a more potent passing attack, but their OL is weak on the outside. The Jaguars sacked Prescott 3 times and the Eagles DL is far more potent than Jacksonville, with 5 different guys along the line having at least 6 sacks and and 4 of the 5 having at least 8 and 2 over 10. If the Eagles can limit the Cowboys on the ground and force Dak and the Cowboys it will go a long way in helping the offense. Speaking of offense, while the Eagles lose Hurts this week they do gain talented TE Dallas Goedert who had a big game last time Minshew started last year when he had 6 receptions for 105 yards and 2 TDs against the Jets. In addition to Goedert the Eagles may have more success through the air than you may think as the Cowboys are without 2 out of 3 starting corners and their fill ins have struggled. Last week Zay Jones and Christian Kirk combined for over 200 yards and 3 TDs and AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith are a far more talented duo. Both had TDs last time these two teams faced off and they could have an even bigger day despite Minshew being in at QB. The Eagles will need to stay balanced though, they were not last week which is a big reason Hurts is missing the game. The Eagles will need to make sure they get Sanders involved early to slow down the Cowboys pass rush and keep the defense honest. If the Eagles can though, there is the potential they could put up some big points and clinch the division and the number one seed in the playoffs giving them a first round bye. Go birds! |

| The Eagles continued their 2nd quarter dominance, scoring 20 points on four consecutive drives. The Cowboys offense battled back in the 2nd half scoring touchdowns on two long drives to cut the deficit to 20–17, but DeVonta Smith scored a touchdown to make it a two-score game again. Cooper Rush threw his third interception, with the following drive leading to a missed field goal attempt. The Eagles ran out the clock and won 26–17. This was the Eagles' first win against the Cowboys since 2020, their first with Hurts at starting QB and Sirianni as head coach. They also started 6–0 for the third time in franchise history. |

| Eagles 21 - Cowboys 41 |
| The Eagles traveled down to Arlington, Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys would jump on the board quickly after an Ezekiel Elliott 1 yard TD. The Eagles defense made a play by stripping the ball from Dak Prescott in their own end zone resulting in a touchdown from Fletcher Cox. From that point on, the Dallas offense had its way on the Eagles defense and didn't get any help from a pass heavy Eagles offense that could not gain much momentum. The Eagles would get a couple of garbage time TDs from Jalen Hurts to Zach Ertz and Greg Ward. With the loss, the Eagles would fall to 1-2 and lose their 4th straight game at AT&T Stadium. |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| On a cold windy day in Chicago, the Eagles did not play their best football early on in the football game. For some idiotic reason, Stichen and Sirianni thought it was best not to run the ball to the running backs against a Bears team which ranked 29th in DVOA against the run coming into the game. Pro Bowl RB Miles Sanders didn’t even touch the football until midway through the 2nd quarter on the Eagles 4th possession. The weather was not kind to Hurts who had a shaky start with 2 interceptions, but he settled in and threw for 315 yards and scored 3 TDs giving him 35 on the year which ties an Eagles record for most by a QB in a season with Randall Cunningham. The Eagles would eek out a win against the Bears 25-20. A day after the game, it was revealed Sitchen and Sirianni’s braindead game plan resulting in Jalen Hurts spraining his shoulder late in the third quarter. Impressively, Jalen went 6/9 for 102 yards and 104.9 rating with a sprained shoulder while leading the team to a win. |
| Cowboys |
| The Cowboys traveled to Jacksonville for the first time since 2006 to face a surging Jaguars team and their own nemesis Doug Pederson. Despite solid play in the first half and jumping out to a 27–10 second half lead, the Cowboys again could not hold on, as the Jaguars went on a 21–0 run to take a 31–27 lead. Dallas quickly responded and reclaimed a 34–31 lead on a touchdown reception by Noah Brown and seemed to have iced the game after a late fumble recovery. However, they would go three-and-out, with Dak Prescott throwing an incomplete pass deep on third down, stopping the clock. Jacksonville got the ball back with little over a minute remaining, and quickly drove downfield for the tying field goal as time expired, sending the game to overtime. The Dallas defense stopped Jacksonville on the first possession of overtime, but disaster struck for the Cowboys on the fourth play of their ensuing drive when a Prescott pass was tipped into the hands of Rayshawn Jenkins, who returned it 52 yards for the game-ending pick six, his second interception of the game. This loss dropped the Cowboys to 10–4 on the season, and 0–2 all time in the city of Jacksonville. It also marked the second time in 2022 that Dallas had surrendered a lead of 14 or more points and lost. Jaguar coach Doug Pederson did the Eagles a solid moving the magic number for them to clinch the division and the number 1 seed to one Eagles win or 1 loss by both the Cowboys and Vikings for the number 1 seed. |

| Philadelphia owns the best record in the NFL and is 13-1 for just the second time in team history, having previously done so in 2004. The Eagles, who have matched their single-season franchise record with 13 wins (finished 13-3 in 2004 and 2017), are the only NFC East club to start 13-1 since the league’s division realignment in 2002. |
| Nick Sirianni is the third coach since the 1970 merger to start 13-1 or better in their first or second career year as a head coach, joining Jim Caldwell (2009 Colts, 14-0) and George Seifert (1990 49ers). |
| Dating back to 2021, Philadelphia has won a club-record-tying 9 consecutive away games (also 2000-01 and 2003-04). The Eagles are the only team with an undefeated record on the road this season. |
| Philadelphia is 1 TD shy of tying its franchise record (54 in 2014). The Eagles’ 53 TDs are the most by any NFL team this season. |
| Philadelphia leads the NFL with a team-record 30 rushing TDs, which are the 3rd-most by a team through 14 games since the 1970 merger, behind the 1976 Steelers (33) and 2006 Chargers (32). |
| The Eagles are just the fifth team since the 1970 merger to rush for 25+ TDs in back-to-back years, joining the 2002-05 Chiefs (4), 1994- 95 Cowboys, 1975-76 Baltimore Colts and 1974-75 Dolphins. |
| Jalen Hurts has produced 35 total TDs (22 passing, 13 rushing), tying Randall Cunningham (1990) for the most in franchise history. His 13 rushing TDs are the most ever by an Eagles QB and are the 2nd-most by a QB in NFL history, trailing only Cam Newton in 2011 (14). |
| Philadelphia’s offense features three players with 10+ scrimmage TDs each – Jalen Hurts (13), Miles Sanders (11 rushing), A.J. Brown (10 receiving) – for the first time in team history. |
| A.J. Brown surpassed Terrell Owens in 2004 (1,200) for the most receiving yards by an Eagle in their first season with the team. Brown, who ranks 5th in the NFL with 1,201 receiving yards, is only 208 yards shy of tying Mike Quick’s single-season club record (1,409 in 1983). |
| This is just the second time the Eagles have had a 1,000+ yard rusher (Miles Sanders) and a 1,000+ yard receiver (A.J. Brown) with 10+ TDs each, joining Ricky Watters and Irving Fryar in 1996. |
| DeVonta Smith, who is tied with Davante Adams and Justin Jefferson for the most 30+ yard catches (5) in the NFL since Week 12, needs 15 yards to tie his career high (916 in 2021) and 99 to reach 1,000. |
| Philadelphia leads the NFL in sacks (55), INTs (15), opponent yards per play (4.72) and passing yards allowed per game (172.4 - only NFL team who hasn’t allowed more than 250 passing yards in a game this year). The Eagles also rank 2nd overall in takeaways (25), opponent passer rating (78.2) and total yards allowed per game (293.5). |
| Only two Eagles defenses have totaled 50+ sacks (55) and 25+ takeaways (25) while allowing less than 300 yards per game (293.5) in the first 14 games of a season – 2022 and 1991 (“Gang Green”). |
| Philadelphia’s league-leading 55 sacks are tied for the Eagles’ most through 14 games in history (also 1987) and are the most by any NFL team through 14 games since the 2000 Saints (58). Philadelphia has recorded 6+ sacks in 3 straight games for the first time ever. |
| Overall, the Eagles’ 55 QB takedowns are tied for the 5th-most in franchise history, behind 1989 (62), 1984 (60), 1987 (57) and 2002 (56). |
| Philadelphia’s defense includes five players with 6+ sacks – Haason Reddick (12.0), Javon Hargrave (10.0), Josh Sweat (9.5), Brandon Graham (8.5) and Fletcher Cox (6.0) – for the first time in team history. |
| This is also the first time the Eagles have had two players with 10.0+ sacks since Jason Babin (18.0) and Trent Cole (11.0). The last time the club had two players reach those figures through 14 games happened in 1995 with Andy Harmon (11.0) and William Fuller (11.0). |
| Haason Reddick is 0.5 sacks shy of tying his career high (12.5 with Arizona in 2020). Brandon Graham needs 1.0 sack (9.5 in 2017). |
| T.J. Edwards, who ranks 8th in tackles (124), is 1 tackle shy of tying his career high (125 in 2021). He also needs just 6 tackles to tie Alex Singleton (130 in 2021) for the most tackles by an Eagle since 1994 (when the statistic was first recorded consistently in the NFL). |
| James Bradberry ranks 2nd in the NFL with 14 PDs (4 shy of his career-high 18 PDs with N.Y. Giants in 2020), trailing only Sauce Gardner (16) in that category. He has also limited opponents to the 2nd-lowest passer rating (48.1) in the league, behind Jaycee Horn (45.2). |

| Did you know Hall of Famer Tom Landry’s 418th and final game as a head coach was against the Eagles? It was Dec. 18, 1988, at Texas Stadium, and the Eagles won 23-7. A few minutes after finishing off the Cowboys, they clinched the NFC East when the Jets upset the Giants in East Rutherford. Long after the game was over, ending Landry’s historic 29-year run as Cowboys head coach, he ran into two Philly writers and said simply, “Merry Christmas, guys.” Class act. |
| A Trip through Time |
| During 1987, a 24-day players strike was called after week 2. The games that were scheduled for the third week of the season were canceled, reducing the 16-game season to 15, but the games for Weeks 4, 5 and 6 were played with replacement players. The games played by these replacement players were regarded with less legitimacy and attendance plummeted to under 10,000 fans at many of the games in smaller markets and cities with strong union presence, including a low of 4,074 for the lone replacement game played in Philadelphia. Buddy Ryan hated the strike and using replacement players telling his players to stick together. He didn’t want anyone crossing the picket line to play for the replacement team as he knew the strike would end eventually and didn’t want a fractured locker room. The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins were the only two NFL teams to have zero players cross the picket line, meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys had 21 players cross the picket line many of their key players like Randy White, Danny White, Tony Dorsett, and Don Smerek. When the Cowboys and Eagles faced off in Week 4 which was the first game back that Dorsett had crossed the line the Cowboys dominated the Eagles replacements and started the game with some razzle dazzle using an end around that resulted in a 62 yard TD. The Cowboys pushed the Eagles' scrubs around all day, opening a 41-10 lead. In the fourth quarter, Landry pulled his regulars, including Too Tall Jones, and put his scrubs in the game. The Eagles managed to score two touchdowns and late in the game they were driving again. Landry had the game won but he didn't want the Eagles to score again so he sent his veterans back onto the field to snuff out the drive and end the game.The Cowboys and Tom Landy were accused of running up the score against the Eagles replacement players by Eagles coach Buddy Ryan. The game added to an already intense rivalry, because the Eagles' second replacement game was in Dallas where the mood of the public was much different. Unlike Philadelphia which is a strong union city, Dallas, like the rest of Texas, is not. There the replacement players were hailed as folk heroes.The two teams would face off again two weeks later in the first game after the strike had ended at Veterans Stadium where Buddy Ryan plotted his revenge. The game was close in the first half with the Eagles taking a 13-10 lead into halftime, but the second half was dominated by the Eagles who led 30-20 with seconds remaining in the game where the Eagles could kneel and run out the clock. Ryan put his plan into action as he had Randall Cunningham fake a kneel down, stand up, and throw deep to Mike Quick. Pass interference was called so the Eagles got a first down at the 1-yard line with 2 seconds left. Ryan sent Keith Byars up the middle for an in-your-face touchdown that made the final score 37-20. Tom Landry, Cowboys head coach, walked off the field and didn’t acknowledge Buddy Ryan. He was a little mad. But Ryan walked off the field with his huge balls dangling between his legs after embarrassing Landry and running up the score and getting his revenge. Buddy hadn’t had a lot to smile about the previous 3 weeks, but he was grinning ear to ear as he walked up the tunnel post game. |

| Cowboys the More You Know |
| Rayne Prescott leads all NFL starters with a 3.6% interception rate. But he also has the fourth-lowest sack rate among starters at 4.1%, higher than only Brady (3.0%), Goff (3.8%), and Mahomes (4.1%). Prescott has only lost 65 yards on sacks in nine starts, a lower total than Flacco (66), Trubisky (68), Ehlinger (72), Winston (74), and McCoy (97), all of whom have attempted at least 100 fewer passes than Prescott. Although the Eagles defensive line have been absolutely wrecking opposing QBs at a record pace, this will not be an easy feat this week against an OL that's allowed only 2 more sacks on the year (10) than the Eagles OL (8). According to PFF Premium Stats, the Cowboys' OL weak spots in terms of the rate at which pressures can be attributed to a particular OL-man's performance are on the edges. The Left Tackle position has contributed to the 8th-most number of pressures (26.5% dropbacks with some responsibility), while for the Eagles the LT position actually has the 2nd-highest responsibility rate (32.2%) - speed poses issues for Mailata. On the right side, Lane Johnson has it locked down for the Eagles, an absolute beast. For the Cowboys, the RT position features the 12th-highest pressure responsibility rate (24.1% of dropbacks). |
| Matchups to Watch |
| Dak Prescott vs the Eagles Secondary |
| All the talk around the first game was that the game would have turned out differently had Prescott started because of the interceptions Rush threw that game, but Prescott has not been much better at protecting the football. Prescott has thrown 11 interceptions through his 9 games this season. He will have to be extra careful this week as he takes on an Eagles secondary which leads the league in interceptions with 15. Dak also won’t be affording time to think about his decisions as the Eagles also lead the league in sacks with 55. The Eagles will be without safety Gardner Johnson who will miss another week recovering from a lacerated kidney, but they will get Reed Blankenship back who has played well filling in and picked off Aaron Rodgers in week 12. On the outside Dak will see Darius Slay and James Bradberry who look like the best cornerback duo in football this season. QBs targeting Bradberry have a QB rating of just 45.7, but targeting Slay isn’t much better at just 65.7. And I mentioned the return of Blankenship… QBs have a passer rating of just 8.3 when targeting him. Lamb has been Dak’s favorite target since coming back, and he will most likely see a healthy dose of Slay and Bradberry, so Dak may look at his slot receivers and TEs, for better opportunities, but they won’t be plentiful against the league’s best passing defense. |
| Eagles Offensive Line vs the Cowboys Pass Rush |
| The Cowboys are currently second in the league in sacks with 20 on the season, trailing only only the Eagles. A big reason for that is last year’s first round pick out of Penn State, Micah Parsons. Parsons has 13 sacks on the season and is a nightmare in the pass rush moving all along the line. Along with Parsons, Demarcus Lawerence is having a resurgent season after missing 10 games with a foot injury. Lawrence may not be looking forward to this game though where he will line up against Lane Johnson who has had Lawrence’s number over the years. Johnson has not allowed a sack since 2020. Lawrence has 3 career sacks against the Eagles, however none are against Lawrence who continues to talk trash against the Eagles yearly just to get dad dicked by Lane every time. Parsons got the same treatment of Lane Johnson in the first game. Lane dominated both before he was forced to leave the game with a concussion and the Cowboys were able to get some pressure on his back up. The Eagles also did a great job of scheming for Parson and making him choose between coverage or rushing Hurts which led to an easy pitch and catch TD for AJ Brown. The Cowboys will definitely be more prepared this time around and Minshew isn’t the rushing threat of Hurts, but Johnson still had their numbers 1 on 1 and he is having one of his best seasons in years. If the Eagles OL can give Minshew time, there are going to be opportunities for the Eagles WRs vs this secondary. |
| Eagles rush defense vs the Cowboys two headed rushing attack |
| The Cowboys rushing duo may very well be the best in football with Tony Pollard and Zeke Elliott. The two have combined for 1743 yards and 19 TDs this season which is impressive and the Cowboys offense has largely run through the two of them. This wasn’t good news for the Eagles after a tough loss to the Commanders where they ran the ball down the Eagles throats and kept the Eagles offense on the sidelines. But the Eagles made some drastic changes to their interior line since that time. The Eagles added veteran DTs Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph in free agency and got rookie first round pick Jordan Davis back from the IR and it has made a huge difference. Over the last three weeks the Eagles have faced three of the most run heavy teams in the league and held them all in check and made them one dimensional which led to some big sack numbers. Now Dallas is a better passing team than any of these three, but they are still the 7th heaviest run heavy offense in the league and their offense starts with the run game. Don’t be surprised to see the Eagles look to take away the running game early and force Dak to beat them with his arm. If the Eagles are successful as they were against their last three opponents it could make Dallas one dimensional and lead to some more sacks and turnovers, both of which the Eagles lead the league in. |
| Eagles passing attack against the Dallas secondary |
| Nick Sirianni announced Thursday that Eagles backup Gardner Minshew would be the starter Saturday against the Cowboys, so the logical thing for the Eagles would be to learn on the Miles Sanders and the running game, but that may not be the case. While I do think the Eagles will run the ball more than they did last week (which was a travesty and a big reason why Hurts was injured), it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if they come out throwing. The Cowboys have Trevon Diggs, who has been a ball hawk since coming into the league and is the Cowboys best CB, but he often goes for the big pick which doesn’t always work out and he gives up the big play. But they are also missing starting CB Anthony Brown and their slot corner Jourdin Lewis. Zay Jones and Christian Kirk combined for 201 yards and 3 TDs last week vs this same secondary and Brown and Smith are a much more talented duo which matches up well against the Cowboys corners. AJ Brown has nearly 30 pounds on the 3 projected corners and could end up making some big plays after the catch. In addition to Brown and Smith, the Eagles will also get TE Dallas Goedert back this week after he missed the last 5 games with a shoulder injury suffered on a terrible missed facemask in the Commanders game. Gardner Minshew is no Jalen Hurts, but he is a very capable back up who has started in the league and knows how to win. If the Eagles get the passing game going this could turn into an upset against in a game where the line shifted after Hurts injury was announced. |

2022.12.16 17:53 Rsubs33 Game Preview Week 15 Philadelphia Eagles (12-1) at the Chicago Bears (3-10) Game Preview
| Philadelphia Eagles (12-1) at the Chicago Bears (3-10) |
| The Eagles travel to Chicago to take on the Bears, who have struggled this year, but have a dynamic QB in Justin Fields who can score with his legs or his arm. Even in many of the Bears losses, they have played teams close and have been able to get some wins vs some good teams with the Patriots and 49ers. Because of these facts, the Eagles can not take the Bears lightly especially when their one loss this season was against a team that was able to run all over them and keep their offense on the sideline. That said, the Eagles run defense looks quite a bit different since signing Suh and Joseph, as well as getting rookie Jordan Davis back. The Eagles have shut down Henry and Barkley the last two weeks, so if the Bears think they will be able to come in and run all over this team they may be in for a rude awakening. The Eagles will most likely force the Bears to try to beat them in the passing game, which has been no easy task this season as the Eagles lead in many key categories. The Eagles Eagles offense will also be at full strength this week as they designated Dallas Goedert to return. The Eagles offense should also be able to have their way with the Bears defense which ranks 32nd in DVOA and struggles vs the run and pass. The Eagles offense has been humming of late and that should be continued this week. It's any given Sunday and the Eagles can’t overlook the Bears, but this is a game they should win and they need to go in and take care of business. Go Birds! |

| Eagles 22 -Bears 14 |
| The Eagles scored points on their first three drives via two Jake Elliott field goals and Carson Wentz's 25-yard touchdown to Zach Ertz (though Elliott missed the extra point). On the other hand, Chicago's offense struggled mightily through the first half with every series ending in a punt; the Bears ended the half with just nine total yards and failed to record a first down until there were 48 seconds remaining. After former Bear Jordan Howard scored on Philadelphia's opening second-half series with a 13-yard run, Chicago rebounded as Trubisky threw a 53-yard pass to Gabriel to set up Montgomery's one-yard touchdown run. Following an exchange of punts, Montgomery scored again on another one-yard touchdown. However, the Eagles mounted a 16-play, 69-yard drive that saw them convert on third down four times, leading to Elliott's 38-yard kick with 25 seconds remaining. Elliott attempted a squib kick on the ensuing kickoff, which Shaheen muffed to secure the Bears' fourth-consecutive loss. |

| Eagles 16 - Bears 15 |
| In the battle of Andy Reid’s Bastards where Doug Pederson took on Matt Nagy, Pederson’s team struck first as the Eagles scored on a Jake Elliott field goal on the opening possession. The scoring went silent until a Nick Foles INT set up a FG for the Bears to bring the score to a tie, the Bears added another field goal to take the Bears into halftime up 6-3. On their first possession of the second half the Eagles took the lead back with a Dallas Goedert TD before the Bears answered with a TD and FG of their own to take a 15-10 lead. Foles led the Eagles offense down field and scored a Golden Tate TD with under a minute to go in the game. The Eagles failed on the two point conversion attempt and the Bears marched down the field with a chance to answer and come away with the win on a last second field goal. Before he could kick, Pederson iced Parkey on his first attempt. When he lined up for his second shot he kicked it with a slightly low trajectory, just low enough for the pinky of Trayvon Hester to alter the flight and cause a double doink off the upright and crossbar. The Philadelphia Eagles needed help to get into the playoffs, and Chicago provided it. The Eagles repaid them by sending them home in the wildcard round as Pederson came out victorious in the Battle of Reid’s bastards. |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| The Eagles took a trip up I95 to take on their division rival the NY Football Giants in a matchup of two teams going in different directions. The Eagles were on a 3 games win streak going into the Game where the Giants hadn’t put up a W in a few weeks. That trend continued Sunday as the Eagles came out and dominated both sides of the football. Hurts improved his MVP credentials by throwing for 217 yards and hitting DaVonta Smith on a 41-yard fourth-down TD strike and A.J. Brown on a 33-yarder as the Eagles (12-1) scored on their first three possessions. The third-year quarterback also ran for 77 yards, highlighted by a 10-yard TD scamper late in the third quarter. Miles Sanders also ran for 144 yards, scored on runs of 3 and 40 yards and hit the 1,000-yard mark for the season (1,068) as the Eagles handed the Giants their worst loss under first-year coach Brian Daboll. Jake Elliott kicked two field goals and the defense finished with seven sacks, including three by Brandon Graham as the Eagles clinched a playoff berth in their second consecutive seasons. |

| The first team to clinch a playoff berth this season, Philadelphia owns the best record in the NFL and is 12-1 for just the second time in franchise history, having previously done so during the 2004 campaign. |
| The Eagles, who have now made the postseason in five of the last six years, have secured a spot in the playoffs for the 17th time under Jeffrey Lurie’s ownership (1994-present). Since 2000, Philadelphia is tied for the 3rd-most playoff appearances (15) in the league, trailing only New England (18) and Green Bay (16) during that stretch. |
| Nick Sirianni is the fourth head coach since the 1970 merger to start 12-1 or better in their first or second career year as a head coach, joining Jim Caldwell (2009 Colts), George Seifert (1990 49ers) and Red Miller (1977 Broncos). Sirianni, who has produced the highest win percentage (.700, 21-9) by an Eagles head coach in their first 30 games, is also the second head coach in team history to make the playoffs in each of their first two seasons, joining Ray Rhodes (1995-96). |
| Jalen Hurts (24 years, 126 days) is the 2nd-youngest QB to start 12-1 or better since the 1970 merger, behind Dan Marino in 1984 (23 years, 72 days). Hurts has won 17 of his last 19 regular-season starts dating back to Week 10 of 2021 (including 15 of his last 16 games). |
| Philadelphia, which leads the NFL in scoring (29.7 ppg), has registered 35+ points in 3 consecutive games for the fourth time in team history (also 1948, 1949 (5) and 2002). The last time the Eagles totaled 425+ yards and 35+ points in 3 straight games happened in 1948. |
| In Week 14, Philadelphia set a single-season franchise record with its 27th rushing TD, breaking the previous mark of 26 TDs in 1945. The Eagles are just the fifth team since the 1970 merger to rush for 25+ TDs in back-to-back seasons, joining the 2002-05 Chiefs (4), 1994- 95 Cowboys, 1975-76 Baltimore Colts, and 1974-75 Dolphins. |
| Philadelphia’s offense features three players with 10+ scrimmage TDs each – Miles Sanders (11 rushing), A.J. Brown (10 receiving) and Jalen Hurts (10 rushing) – for the first time in team history. This is also the second time the Eagles have had a 1,000+ yard rusher (Sanders) and 1,000+ yard receiver (Brown) with 10+ TDs each since Ricky Watters (1,411 yards, 13 TDs) and Irving Fryar (1,195 yards, 11 TDs) in 1996. |
| Philadelphia ranks 1st in the NFL in turnover differential (+14) as well as fewest giveaways (10). The Eagles’ 10 giveaways are their fewest allowed through 13 games since the 1990 season (also 10). |
| Philadelphia ranks 1st in the NFL with 49.0 sacks, which are the club’s most through 13 games since 1987 (52.0). The Eagles, who have recorded 6.0+ sacks in back-to-back games for the fifth time in team history (also 1985, 1995, 1997, 1998), feature five players with 6.0+ sacks – Hasson Reddick (10.0), Brandon Graham (8.5), Javon Hargrave (8.0), Josh Sweat (7.5), Fletcher Cox (6.0) – for the first time ever. |
| Philadelphia leads the league in takeaways (24), INTs (15), opponent yards per play (4.75), opponent yards per pass attempt (5.34), passing yards allowed per game (178.7) and opponent passer rating (76.3). |
| Only three Eagles defenses have recorded 45+ sacks (49.0) and 20+ takeaways (24) while allowing less than 300 yards per game (297.0): 1991 (“Gang Green”), 2002 (under Jim Johnson), and 2022. |
| Over the last two weeks, Philadelphia has limited the likes of Saquon Barkley (28 yards, 3.1 avg.) and Derrick Henry (30 yards, 2.7 avg.) to a combined 58 rushing yards and 2.9 yards per carry. |
| Jalen Hurts is tied with Josh Allen and Joe Burrow for the 2nd-most total TDs (32) in the league, trailing only Patrick Mahomes (35). Hurts’ 32 TDs are also tied with Sonny Jurgensen in 1961 (32) for the 4th- most in franchise history, behind Randall Cunningham in 1990 (35), Donovan McNabb in 2004 (34) and Carson Wentz in 2017 (33). |
| In Week 14, Hurts tied his team QB record with his 10th rushing TD, becoming the first QB in NFL history to rush for double-digit TDs in consecutive years (third player in team history to do so, joining Ricky Watters from 1995-96 and Steve Van Buren from 1947-49). Hurts and Cam Newton (three times: 14 in 2011, 10 in 2015, 12 in 2020) are the only NFL QBs to produce multiple 10+ rushing TD campaigns. |
| Hurts leads the league with a 108.4 passer rating, 7.3 TD/INT ratio (22 TDs, 3 INTs) and 13 TD passes of 20+ yards. He is also 3rd in yards per attempt (8.14) and 4th in completion percentage (68.0%). |
| Since 2000, only four NFL QBs have posted 32+ total TDs with 5-or-fewer giveaways through 13 games: Hurts (2022), Drew Brees (2018), Aaron Rodgers (2014), and Tom Brady (2012). |
| Miles Sanders is tied for the 3rd-most rushing TDs (11) in the NFL, behind Jamaal Williams (14) and Nick Chubb (12). He also ranks 5th in rushing yards (1,068), trailing only Josh Jacobs (1,402), Derrick Henry (1,199), Nick Chubb (1,153) and Saquon Barkley (1,083). Sanders is the first Eagle to rush for 1,000+ yards and 10+ TDs in a season since LeSean McCoy in 2011 (1,309 yards, franchise-record 17 TDs). |
| A.J. Brown is one of only four NFL players with 10+ receiving TDs (10), joining Davante Adams (12), Travis Kelce (12) and Stefon Diggs (10). In addition, Brown is 2nd in yards per reception (15.7), behind Jaylen Waddle (min. 40 catches), and 6th in receiving yards (1,020). |
| According to Pro Football Focus, Lane Johnson has not allowed a sack since Week 11 of 2020 or a QB hit since Week 7 of 2021. He leads all tackles with a 0.1% knockdown percentage (0 sacks, 1 QB hit in 889 pass-blocking snaps) since 2021 (min. 600 pass-blocking snaps). |
| Haason Reddick leads the team with 10.0 sacks, marking the most by an Eagle since Fletcher Cox in 2018 (10.5). He is the first player in NFL history to post 10.0+ sacks in three straight years with three different teams (12.5 with Arizona in 2020; 11.0 with Carolina in 2021). |
| In Week 14, Brandon Graham (34 years, 252 days) became the oldest NFL player to total 3.0 sacks in a game since Dwight Freeney in 2015 (35 years, 311 days). He also became the oldest player to post a 3.0sack game on the road since Michael Strahan in 2007 (35 years, 362 days). Graham currently ranks 2nd on the Eagles with 8.5 sacks. |
| James Bradberry ranks 2nd in the NFL with 14 PDs, trailing only Sauce Gardner (16) in that category. Bradberry also ranks 2nd in opponent passer rating (46.3), behind Jaycee Horn (42.2) (min. 40 targets). Furthermore, he is 2nd among players with at least 60 targets faced in completion percentage allowed (45.6%), behind Gardner (43.5%). |
| Fun Fact |
| In 1968, the Bears defeated the Green Bay Packers on a "fair-catch kick" — a rare play that's still in the NFL rulebook. When a team makes a fair catch of a kick, it has the option of attempting a field goal from that very spot, with defenders kept 10 yards away. The Bears defeated the Packers 13-10 on Nov. 3, 1968, when Mac Percival booted a 43-yard field goal in the last minute. The next morning's Tribune described the fair-catch kick as a "very rare stratagem." |
| A Trip through Time |
| Though it pains me to write about this game, it is definitely one of the more interesting games between not only the Bears and Eagles, but all time. On New Year’s Eve in 1988, the Eagles traveled to Soldier Field to take on the Bears in the playoffs. Chicago scored first with quarterback Mike Tomczak's 64-yard touchdown pass to Dennis McKinnon. The Eagles responded by driving to the Chicago 26-yard line, but kicker Luis Zendejas missed a 43-yard field goal attempt. Philadelphia quickly got the ball back after linebacker Seth Joyner intercepted a pass from Tomczak on the next play and returned it 8 yards to the Bears 31-yard line. This time they managed to score with Zendejas' 42-yard field goal, but only after committing two costly mistakes: twice on the drive Philadelphia had touchdowns nullified by penalties, both on running back Anthony Toney. The Bears then drove to the Eagles 33-yard line on their ensuing drive, but it stalled there and kicker Kevin Butler missed a 51-yard field goal attempt, giving the ball back to Philadelphia with great field position. Quarterback Randall Cunningham then led the Eagles down the field with two completions to fullback Keith Byars for gains of 13 and 24 yards. A few plays later, faced with 3rd and 32, Cunningham completed a 31-yard pass to Ron Johnson, bringing up 4th and 1 on the Bears 4-yard line. Cunningham tried to convert the 4th down with a QB sneak, but after a chain measurement which took several minutes, officials ruled the ball short of a first down. The Eagles soon got another chance to score when Andre Waters forced a fumble from Cap Boso that was recovered by defensive back Wes Hopkins on the Chicago 15. Following another missed chance at a touchdown when rookie tight end Keith Jackson dropped a wide open pass in the end zone, Zendejas' 29-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 7–6. Philadelphia tackled Chicago returner Dennis Gentry on the 22 on the ensuing kickoff, but the kick had to be redone due to an offsides penalty on the Eagles. This proved to be hugely beneficial for Chicago, as on the second kick, Glen Kozlowski returned the ball 23 yards to the Philadelphia 44-yard line. A few plays later, Tomczak's 30-yard completion to Ron Morris gave Chicago a first down on the Eagles 4-yard line, and Neal Anderson ran for a touchdown on the next play to give them a 14–6 lead. Then after forcing a punt, Thomas Sanders' 58-yard run set up a 46-yard field goal by Butler, increasing Chicago's lead to 17-6 with less than 2:03 left before halftime. At this point, a thick fog rolled onto the field, obscuring vision so much that a CBS helicopter providing aerial coverage for the game was forced to land. Meanwhile, Philadelphia struck back with a 65-yard completion from Cunningham to Jackson that set up Zendejas' 30-yard field goal, and the teams went into their locker rooms with Chicago leading 17–9. The fog largely took out Philly’s high scoring passing offense as the visibility on the field was cut to 15-20 yards for the remainder of the game. TV and radio announcers, and the fans in the stadium had trouble seeing what was happening on the field. CBS color commentator Terry Bradshaw, who was working the game, later said he was more frustrated than at any time when he was a player (this was several years before networks regularly employed sideline reporters). The Eagles drove down the field in the second half, but again came up short when a Randall Cunningham pass went off Anthoney Toney’s hands and was intercepted, the Bears drove down, but came up empty after a missed FG. The Eagles were able to get the ball on a Terry Hoage INT, and drive down for another FG to make it 17-12. Chicago, now led by Jim McMahon, responded with their next drive, converting a 23-yard run by Anderson into a 27-yard Butler field goal to go back up by 8 points, 20-12 with 12:34 left in the game. Philadelphia responded with a drive to the Bears 22, but on third down, a long sack by Sean Smith pushed them out of field goal range. The next time they got the ball, Maurice Douglass intercepted a pass from Cunningham, enabling Chicago to run out the rest of the clock. Cunningham finished the game with 407 passing yards,[1] but was unable to lead his team to a single touchdown and was intercepted 3 times. Fullback Keith Byars rushed for 34 yards and caught 9 passes for 103 yards. Tight end Keith Jackson caught 7 passes for 142 yards. The game became known as the Fog Bowl and is ranked #3, by the NFL Top 10’s Weather games. Link |

| The More You Know |
| A lot of national attention is rightfully on Jalen Hurts making a Super Saiyan jump from 2021 to 2022 (as a passer, but also generally in executing better decisions), but some attention should be given to Justin Fields and the jump he's made this season as well. Under the Rushing microscope, there are statistical similarities between these two QBs. According to PFF, Hurts currently ranks 3rd among QBs in designed rush yards (369) and Fields 4th (337). Fields has forced 33 missed tackles in the run game (2nd) and Hurts 29 (3rd). Fields has broken 27 rushes of 10+ yards (2nd), compared to Hurts' 25 (3rd). Hurts has rushed for 60 1st downs (1st), compared to Fields at 57 (2nd). Fields, however, really differs in his yards after contact numbers - 549 YCO (1st)/4.32 YCO/Attempt (2nd). Hurts: 319 YCO (4th)/2.26 YCO/A (9th). Do keep Hurts' QB sneaks in mind for context on the per attempt-related stats. |
| Matchups to Watch |
| The Bears Rushing Attack vs the Eagles Rush D |
| The Bears have an atypical rushing attack as their leading rusher is QB Justin Fields, who has been absolutely since he started using his legs more this season. He has over 900 yards and averages 7.2 per attempt when he runs to go along with 8 rushing TDs. The Bears get a lot of usage out of the RBs as well though which is why they have the number one rushing attack in the league this season. The Eagles will need to continue to play well against the run for the third week in a row now after they shut down Derrick Henry and Saquan Barkley in back to back weeks. The additions of Suh and Joseph as well as the return of Jordan Davis has been pivotal in the improvement of the run defense, as well as the Eagles getting on the board early. Fields being a major weapon will definitely add another wrinkle into the mix for DC Jonathan Gannon. Daniel Jones can also run, but nothing like Fields, but like with Jones the Eagles need to remain disciplined and stay in their rush lanes to keep Fields in the pocket to prevent him from escaping on broken plays. The Eagles will also need to stick with their assignments on any run option and RPO plays. While Fields is the biggest threat for a big play, Khalil Herbert and David Montgomery are no slouches, the two are averaging 6.0 and 4.0 ypc respectively and combined for 5 TDs. Fields is still a work in progress as a passer, so the Eagles should try to keep Fields and the rushing attack in check and make the Bears beat them with the pass. |
| Eagles secondary vs the Bears lackluster WRs |
| The Bears WRs were suspect coming into the season and are even more so now that Darrell Mooney is on the IR. The Bears did trade for Chase Claypool at the deadline from the Steelers, though he has done very little since joining the team. On the other side, the Eagles have one of the best secondaries in football this season and currently lead the league in INTs (15), opponent yards per pass attempt (5.34), passing yards allowed per game (178.7) and opponent passer rating (76.3). James Bradberry is second in the league in pass breakups as well on an individual level. The Eagles will be without CGJ still after he suffered a lacerated kidney 3 weeks ago and his backup Reed Blankenship will also miss the game with a sprained MCL, but the team signed a familiar face this week when they brought back safety Anthony Harris who may end up sliding into the starting safety spot this week. If you notice above, in the PFF WCB matchups, the Eagles have great matchups across the board with their WRs vs the Eagles CBs, so on paper this is a match the Eagles should be able to dominate and possibly increase their INT total. The big thing will be forcing the Bears to pass, even if that means stacking the box and running man to man which the Eagles corners are definitely capable of doing. |
| Eagles Pass Rush vs the Bears OL |
| The Bears OL has definitely improved as the season has progressed. The Bears OL ranked 31st to start the season according to PFF, but was able to climb up to 10 in this week's most recent ranking. Much of that growth is due to the Bears having the number one rushing attack in the league and the OL being ranked 7th in run blocking. That said they have also improved in pass blocking though they are still giving up 3.2 sacks per game, though Fields holding the ball for an average 3.43 seconds. Because of that, Eagles OL should be able to get pressure on Fields and be able to add to their sack total. The Eagles have 5 different defensive linemen who have at least 28 pressures this season and can generate pressure all across the line. Fields has also had issues securing the football both in the pocket and when he chooses to run, so look for the Eagles pass rushers to be patting at the ball and looking for the strip sack. The key matchup on the line to watch will be Left tackle Braxton Jones vs Josh Sweat. Jones hasn’t been awful but he has given up a team-high 6 sacks, 24 hurries and 33 pressures. It could be another big game for Sweat, who has five sacks in five games. |
| Eagles OL vs the Bears DL |
| I could have really picked where on the Eagles offensive side of the ball and the Eagles probably have a matchup advantage, as the Bears defense is ranked dead last by DVOA. That said, the most glaring spot is in the trenches where the Eagles have the best OL according to PFF and are second in rushing while protecting Hurts well and giving him time for the deep throws. The Bears have struggled to get any pressure on the QB this season and this was even before they traded their best pass rusher Robert Quinn to the Eagles. They have just 16 sacks on the year which is dead last and they are giving up 146.3 yards on the ground as well. The Eagles should be able to get everything going vs this defense and the Eagles OL should be able to get to the next level to set up some big runs for Miles Sanders. |

2022.12.10 07:56 Rsubs33 Game Preview Week 14 Philadelphia Eagles (11-1) at the New York Giants (7-4-1) Game Preview
| Philadelphia Eagles (11-1) at the New York Giants (7-4-1) |
| The Eagles take on their oldest rival the New York Giants as they renew their rivalry with a trip up I95 to go to the Dirty Jerz. Sunday marks the 179th meeting between the Giants and Eagles going back to 1933. The Eagles lead the regular season series, 87-85-2, with the teams splitting their four postseason meetings. Philadelphia has gotten the better of the Giants in recent years. Including playoffs, the Eagles are 22-6 (.786) over the past 28 contests versus New York dating back to 2008. The two keeps are going in opposite directions at this point in the season. After their hot start, the Giants have cooled down having only won once since Week 7 and have been outscored 122-95 over those five games. On the flip side the Eagles are coming off two dominant performances against the Packers and Titans and are 11-1 with the best record in football. With a win on Sunday the Eagles would clinch the first playoff spot of the year and be one step closer to clinching the division. The Eagles will want a win to keep some distance between themselves and the Cowboys as well as keep their division record at one loss after losing the the Commanders in week 10. The recipe which worked so well for Washington has not worked since though with running the football and keeping the ball out of Hurts hands. Part of that may be due to the additions of Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh at the DT spot and with getting first round pick Jordan Davis back last week vs the Titans it worked horribly as All-Pro Derrick Henry was held to 30 yards on 11 carries. Still the Giants have a dangerous RB in Saquan Barkley which the Eagles will have to account for and shut down if they want to come back home with a win. On offense the Eagles are humming on both sides and should be able to keep that up this week against a porous Giants defense which struggles against the run. It's any given Sunday though and away against a division rival so the Eagles need to come in ready to fight if they do they should be able to come away with another W. Go Birds! |

| Jake Fromm made his first career NFL start as the Giants visited the Eagles seeking to even their all-time series and complete their first season sweep of Philadelphia since the 2007 season. Both teams got off to a slow start in what was making out to be a defensive stalemate.. However, miscues on both sides of the ball by Giants in the second half would lead to the Eagles blowing the game wide open. Fromm completed 6 of 17 passes for 25 yards and an interception before being benched in the third quarter for Mike Glennon. Glennon was an upgrade and would finish 17 of 27 for 93 yards with a garbage-time touchdown to Evan Engram. However, prior to that garbage time TD he had one to the other team when he threw a pick-six to Alex Singleton with 10 minutes left to put the Eagles up 31-3. Lane Johnson had his first career touchdown for the Eagles late in the game on a 5 yard pass from Jalen Hurts in the 4th quarter. |

| Eagles 7 - Giants 13 |
| In what was probably Hurts worst game as an Eagle, he struggled throughout the day and threw for three interceptions. The first was in the first quarter after a Giants FG. The Eagles were threatening after a 92 yard 15 play drive, but Hurts threw another interception, this time on the goalline. In the third quarter after a fourth down stop, the Giants opened up the scoring when Philadelphia native and Temple University walk-on Chris Myarick made an acrobatic touchdown catch, his first in the NFL, to give the Giants a 10-0 lead. Hurts threw an interception to Xavier McKinney, his third of the day. After that, the Eagles decided to aggressively run the football, rushing for 100 yards in the third quarter alone. Boston Scott got the Eagles on the board in the first play of the fourth quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run. After exchanging punts, Kenny Golladay had two critical first-down receptions putting the Giants in field goal range, extending the lead to 13-7 in the closing minutes. On the next possession with the Eagles driving, Dexter Lawrence forced a Scott fumble, which Julian Love recovered for the Giants with 1:39 to play. Still the Eagles were able to get the ball back with 1:11 and drove down field, but after a underthrown ball which Jalen Raegor had to slow down for was dropped and two more stops the Eagles were down their final play and Hurt again threw it to Raegor this time the throw was perfect and on the goaline, but Raegors butterfingers were too much and the ball dropped to the ground to give the Giants the win. |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| AFter the Eagles put up 363 rushing yards against Green Bay, with both Jalen Hurts and Miles Sanders rushing for over 100 yards each. They decided they would show off their passing game vs the Titans with Hurts throwing for 380 yards and 3 TDs while rushing for 1 more in a game that was completely dominated by the Eagles on both sides of the football. While the offense was putting up points the defense was shutting down the Titans offense holding All-Pro RB Derrick Henry to just 30 yards on 11 carries and limiting Ryan Tannehill to just 141 yards and 1 TD through the air. The game was completely one sided in the Eagles 35-10 win. With the win the Eagles improved to 11-1 which is their best start since 2004. |
| Giants |
| Daniel Jones had a fumble on the opening drive which Joey Slye converted with a field goal. Terry McLaurin scored on the next Commanders drive to take an early 10–0 lead, but the Giants responded with 10 points on their next two drives to tie the game. The teams traded a pair of field goals to tie 13–13 at halftime. Azeez Ojulari, in his first game back from injury, strip-sacked Taylor Heinicke and recovered the ball, setting the Giants up in the red zone to begin the 3rd quarter. Jones converted with a touchdown pass to Isaiah Hodgins, the first in his career. Late in the 4th quarter, Darius Slayton made a first down catch and put the Giants closer to field goal range to put the game out of reach, but the play was nullified by a taunting penalty by center Jon Feliciano. On the next Commanders drive, Heinicke evaded a sack and converted on a 4th and 4 which led to a game-tying touchdown by Jahan Dotson. The game then reverted to a defensive stalemate with both teams exchanging punts in the final 1:45 of the 4th quarter and two punts each during overtime. The Giants ended with the ball and got in position to attempt a game-winning 58-yard field goal with 5 seconds left, but Graham Gano's kick fell short. The Giants tied for the first time since 1997, which was also against Washington. This was their first tie game at home since their final game at Yankee Stadium in 1973, which was the year before the NFL added overtime. |

| Fun Fact |
| Nowadays, the NFL and professional football is king and the most popular sport in the country, however that was not always the case. Throughout the 1920s, Americans considered professional football to be a low version of the game and instead focused their attention on collegiate football. But in December 1930, the Giants helped change the nation's perception and prove that professional football was worth watching. To raise money for families hit hard by the Depression, the Giants took on an all-star team assembled by legendary Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne. Rockne hand-picked the squad from his 1924 championship roster, and even included the Four Horsemen, one of the most storied quartets in college football. Radiating confidence, Rockne told his players, "Fellows, these Giants are heavy but slow." Unfortunately for the Notre Dame team, they may have been slow, but they were strong and the Giants' dad dicked Rudy in the onesided Giants' 22-0 victory, Rockne — and more than 50,000 fans — saw the pro team in a new light. "That was the greatest football machine I ever saw," he told his squad. I am glad none of you got hurt." |
| A Trip through Time |
| The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants renew their historical rivalry on Sunday afternoon. Throughout history, the teams have battled in various venues, including the original Yankee Stadium, the Polo Grounds, Giants Stadium, Connie Mack Stadium, Franklin Field, the Vet and the Linc. They also had some pretty impressive moments in NFL history. Instead of talking about the well known moments like the Miracle in the Meadowlands, let's look back at a different great game. The date was November 20,1988 and the teams were competing for the NFC East title in a heavy unending rain. In a tightly contested contest at Giants Stadium, the Giants took a 17-10 lead in the 3rd quarter on a Stephen Baker pass from Phil Simms. Simms was then knocked out later in the quarter on a hit by HoF DE Reggie White. With Simms out of the game, Hostetler could not put together a drive. Still, with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Giants were nursing a 17-10 lead. Then, from the Giants' 18-yard line, Cunningham passed to Keith Jackson, the Eagles' impressive rookie tight end. Giants safety Terry Kinard smashed into Jackson on the 2, and Jackson fumbled. The ball squirted toward the end zone past Kenny Hill, the Giants' strong safety. Cris Carter, the wide receiver, fell on it for a touchdown, and the game was tied. The game would stay tied at the end of regulation sending the game into overtime. In overtime, a Giant’s interception put the Eagles on the Giants' 41. Five plays later, on third down from the 13, the Eagles lined up for a game-winning field goal. But Luis Zendejas' kick was blocked. He picked up the ball and lateralled it to lineman Clyde Simmons, who ran it in for the winning score. The game was key as while the teams finished with the same record, since the Eagles swept the two games with the Giants, they won the NFC East. |

| The More You Know |
| I sure hope Daniel Dimes Jones is mentally ready for the world of hurt that's coming to him this weekend, as he faces an Eagles Defense that's #1 in generated turnovers (22), #1 in fewest air yards allowed, #1 in fewest net yards per pass attempt, 2nd in sacks (42), and 1st in INTs (15). Meanwhile, according to PFF, Jones has faced the 3rd-most pressures of QBs (185), 3rd-most sacks (36), and has averaged the 4th-longest time to throw (3.06). |
| Matchups to Watch |
| Saquan Barkely vs the Eagles Run Defense |
| Saquan Barkely is one of the best running backs in the league and is currently the league's 4th leading rusher behind Josh Jacobs, Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry. The Eagles run defense has improved over the last few weeks since adding veterans, Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph and got another boost last week when Jordan Davis returned from IR. The additions paid dividends as they held Derrick Henry to just 11 carries for 30 yards and no touchdowns. Barkley, like Henry is a talented runner, adds another dynamic as he catches the ball out of the backfield more frequently (23 receptions for Henry to 40 for Barkley). Barkley is having a resurgence this season now that he is over a year removed from his ACL tear. Barkley has over 1000 yards on the ground and 8 TDs so far this season and is a big reason the Giants are 7-4-1. Similar to the the Titans last week the Giants offense runs through their running game and that is with Barkley, so if the Eagles are able to shut him down and prevent him from breaking off big runs it will go a long way in shutting down the Giants offense. |
| Daniel Jones vs the Eagles Defense |
| Last season Daniel Jones gave the Eagles defense fits when the Giants defeated the Eagles last season. Jones threw for 202 yards and a TD while rushing for 30 and routinely escaped pressure and extended plays with his legs. Tannehill was able to escape quite a few times last week and Jones will look to do the same when under pressure as he had over 500 yards rushing and 4 rushing TDs this season, many times those yards coming on broken plays. Those broken plays are what the Eagles need to avoid as they usually end up in big runs. The Eagles will need to stay in their rush lanes and not get up field to contain Jones and keep him in the pocket. Jones is doing better protecting the football this season with only 4 INTs and 5 fumbles this season, but that doesn’t mean the Eagles can’t force him into mistakes. If the Eagles secondary is able to stay on the Giants WRs and the DL can contain Jones, they should be able to get some coverage sacks and force some errant throws by Jones. |
| Eagles Running Attack vs the Giants Run Defense |
| This matchup is the case of an unstoppable force vs a very movable object. The Eagles currently rank 5th in rush offense at 154.6 yards per game, meanwhile the Giants rank 26th in run defense giving up 141.1 yards per game on the ground. The Giants also rank 30th in YPC giving up 5.1 yards per rush, they also are the worst in the league in explosive run % (runs of 10+ yards) at 17%. The Giants DL looks like it will also short Leonard Williams who is listed as doubtful on their injury report. The Eagles have proved over the last couple weeks they have no problem changing up their offense to take advantage of opposing teams defenses. Whether it is running for 363 vs the Packers or passing for 380 vs the Titans, they have tailored the offense to expose opposing teams defenses. The Giants don’t have an impressive pass defense at 18th, but their run defense is definitely their Achilles heel, so look for the Eagles to run early and often and mix up their runs between the WRs, RBs and Hurts. If the Eagles get the run game going it will open up the passing game for a big play and it could be a long day for the Giants defense. |
| Eagles WRs vs the Giants Secondary |
| The Giants will be without their top corner Adorre Jackson this week who will miss his 3rd straight game with a MCL sprain. Their secondary will also be missing starting safety Xavior McKinney, who will miss his 5th game after breaking his hand in Cabo during the Giants bye week. The Eagles WRs took advantage of a young Titans secondary last week with Smith and Brown each going over 100 yards and Smith scoring 1 TD while Brown had two. The talented pair may have another shot this week though air taking on a secondary missing two starters. The Eagles will most likely target whoever is being covered by Danary Holmes who has struggled in coverage this season especially against more talented WRs such as Brown and Smith. Holmes has a 49.1 grade in coverage this season and will likely be called upon to help fill in for Jackson. The Eagles will most likely go run heavy early, but this will be to set up the big play when that big play occurs, look for them to go deep against Holmes. |

2022.12.02 18:59 Rsubs33 Game Preview Week 13 Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) vs the Tennessee Titans (7-4) Game Preview
| Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) vs the Tennessee Titans (7-4) |
| The Eagles will look for the clean sweep of the AFC South this weekend as they welcome the Tennessee Titans to town in a showdown between the top team from each division. The Titans are a good defense with an alright offense. The biggest key to the game for the Eagles on defense will be shutting down All-Pro Derrick Henry and the Titans running game. The Eagles should get some help in that department if first round pick Jordan Davis is able to return after being activated off the IR this week. The run defense was completely different with Davis on the field vs on the sideline this season. When Davis is on the field the Eagles defense gives up 3.87 yards per carry compared to 5.1 yards per carry when he is on the sideline, so getting him back to slow down Henry will be huge. If the Eagles defense is able to shutdown Henry they will need to contest with veteran Ryan Tannehill who has been productive this season, but is a QB the Eagles should be able to force into mistakes especially if the defensive line is able to get pressure on him. On the other side of the ball, the Eagles may have trouble getting their run going against the tough Titans defense which is ranked 3rd against the run and first in rush TDs per game. That said, the Eagles rushing attack is not your typical one as QB Jalen Hurts leads the team in rushing TDs and was the leading rusher last week when the Eagles ran for 363 yards against the Packers. The Titans while being good at shutting down running backs have struggled to contain running QBs. Last week Joe Burrow was able to run for a few key first downs and in their week 9 matchup with the Chiefs they gave up 63 yards and a TD to Patrick Mahommes on 6 carries. Hurts could be in for a big day for the second straight week, if the Titans don’t tighten up their defense on QB runs, that said if they add spy it could open up things more in the passing game, where the Eagles WRs have the advantage in the matchups according to PFF. PFF has actually given AJ Brown an 100.0 score matchup advantage against the Titans CBs, so he could be in for a big day against his former team if those matchups grades hold true. It should be a tough physical game between the two teams, but the team that wins in the trenches is the one most likely to win the game. Go Birds! |

| Titans 26 - Eagles 23 OT |
| In a game where the Eagles moved the ball seemingly at will they had numerous mishaps including a number of drops. Still the Eagles had 432 yards of offense with Wentz throwing for 348 yards and Ertz and Jeffrey each having over 100 yards receiving. The Eagles actually dominated most of the game leading 10-3 at halftime and pushed that lead to 17-3 after a drive lasting almost 7 minutes ended with a Alshon Jeffrey TD reception. But Jim Schwartz inexplicably had his CBs playing so far off in the 3rd quarter that it was pitch and catch for Mariota and his receivers. Following the Eagles long TD, Schwartz defense turned around and gave right back, followed by a FG on the Titans next drive where the Eagles failed to stop them on 4th and 1. Titans ensuing possession again ended in a TD, where Shcwartz had Jalen Mills on the Titans best receiver Cory Davis with no help over the top for a 51 yard gain. Which was followed by a Tajee Sharp TD to take the lead. The Eagles tied it with a FG and they went to overtime. The Eagles won the toss and settled for a FG after a dropped pass by Agholor. The Eagles defense needed a stop for the win and Jim Schwartz again played soft coverage and again they got the Titans into 4th down only to again give it up and the Titans marched down for the game winning TD. |

| Josh Huff opened the game with a 107 kickoff return for a TD to give the Eagles an early lead. The Eagles kept the scoring going and added another TD on a Darren Sproles TD run followed by a Cody Parkey FG to give the Eagles a 17-0 lead after the first quarter. The Titans offense came alive in the second though following a Mark Sanchez INT and they scored 17 points of their own in the 2nd quarter, but the Eagles also added 10 with another Parkey FG and Lesean McCoy TD run. The second half was dominated by the Eagles outsourcing the Titans 16-7 in the second half to give them a convincing 43-24 win. Mark Sanchez threw for 307 yards and one touchdown in his third start for the injured Nick Foles. He had 300 yards passing in three straight games which tied a team record at the time. |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| The Eagles put up 363 rushing yards against Green Bay, with both Jalen Hurts and Miles Sanders rushing for over 100 yards each. While the Eagles defense gave up 33 points to the Packers, they intercepted Aaron Rodgers twice. Rodgers exited the game in the third quarter due to an injury and was replaced by Jordan Love, who threw a 63-yard touchdown to rookie wide receiver Christian Watson. The Eagles would clinch the victory with a 54-yard field goal from Jake Elliott. With the win, the Eagles improved to 10–1 (their first double digit win season since 2017) and maintained their lead in the NFC. |
| Packers |
| The Titans took on the Bengals in a rematch of last year's divisional playoff game where the Bengals pulled out a win. Cincinnati smothered NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry, holding him to 38 yards rushing, his second-lowest total of the season. Tennessee did adapt by throwing to Henry, and he had a career-best 79 yards receiving. But it was not enough to overcome the Bengals who kept it close all game before Joe Burrow threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins with 13:42 left to take the lead which they never relinquished. After the Titans got a stop with 1:53 left to go in the game Bengals kicker Evan McPherson connected on a FG which would put the Bengals up 7, but Titans lineman Kevin Strong was flagged for unnecessary roughness after landing on the long snapper. That nullified the kick but allowed the Bengals to run out the clock to win the game. |

Each of Lurie’s head coaching hires have posted 10+ win seasons within their first two years with the team: Sirianni, Doug Pederson (13-3 in 2017), Chip Kelly (10-6 in 2013; 10-6 in 2014), Andy Reid (11-5 in 2000) and Ray Rhodes (10-16 in 1995; 10-16 in 1996). |
| Jalen Hurts has won 15 of his previous 17 regular-season starts since Week 10 of 2021 (including 13 of his last 14 since Week 13 of 2021), marking the highest winning percentage (.882) among NFL QBs. Hurts is the 4th-youngest QB to start 10-1 or better since the 1970 merger, behind Dan Marino in 1984 (23 years, 57 days), Dak Prescott in 2016 (23 years, 118 days), and Jared Goff in 2018 (24 years, 36 days). |
| Philadelphia ranks 1st in the NFL in turnover differential (+13), which includes a league-high 23 takeaways. The Eagles’ +13 margin is their 2nd-best figure through 11 games since the 1970 merger, trailing only the 2010 season (+14). Their 23 takeaways are tied for the 3rd-most through 11 games since 1970, behind 2010 (26) and 2009 (25). |
| Philadelphia has won the turnover battle nine times (+1 or better) this season, which leads the league. In addition, it marks the Eagles’ most such performances through 11 games in franchise history (also tied for the most by any NFL team through 11 games since 2013). |
| Philadelphia and Baltimore are the only NFL teams with 1+ takeaway in every game this season. The last time the Eagles recorded at least 1 takeaway in each of the first 11 games of a season was in 2004. |
| Philadelphia ranks 2nd in the NFL with 73 points off takeaways, trailing only New England (78) in that category. The Eagles have produced 70+ points off takeaways through 11 games for the first time since 2017, when they totaled 75 points off takeaways during that stretch. |
| Jalen Hurts is the only QB in NFL history to post 6,500+ passing yards (6,623) and 1,500+ rushing yards (1,653) in their first 30 career starts. |
| Hurts is one of only four NFL QBs with 25+ total TDs (25) this season, joining Patrick Mahomes (30), Josh Allen (28) and Joe Burrow (27). He is the only NFL QB with 25+ total TDs and 5-or-fewer giveaways. |
| Hurts has also logged the 4th-most total yards (3,157) in the NFL this year, behind Mahomes (3,859), Allen (3,744) and Burrow (3,338). |
| In the passing game, Hurts has registered the 3rd-highest passer rating (105.6), trailing only Tua Tagovailoa (115.7) and Geno Smith (107.9). He ranks 4th in yards per attempt (8.05), behind Tagovailoa (9.03), Ryan Tannehill (8.13) and Mahomes (8.11), and is also completing a career-best 67.3% (214-of-318) of his passes (10th in NFL). |
| On the ground, Hurts is tied with Miles Sanders for the 6th-most TDs (8) in the league (most among QBs). In Week 12 vs. Green Bay, Hurts set the record for the most rushing yards (157) by a QB in Eagles history, eclipsing the previous mark of 130 set by Michael Vick in 2010. |
| Miles Sanders, who rushed for a career-high 143 yards with 2 TDs in Week 12 vs. Green Bay, is one of only five NFL players with 900+ rushing yards (career-high 900), joining Josh Jacobs (1,159), Derrick Henry (1,048), Nick Chubb (1,039) and Saquon Barkley (992). Sanders is also T-6th with a career-high 8 rushing TDs, behind Jamaal Williams (13), Chubb (12), Henry (10), Jacobs (9) and Kenneth Walker (9). |
| A.J. Brown ranks 2nd in the NFL in yards per reception (15.7), trailing only Jaylen Waddle (17.2) (min. 40 receptions). He is also tied for the 4th-most receiving TDs (7) in the league, behind Travis Kelce (12), Davante Adams (10) and Stefon Diggs (9). In addition, Brown ranks 9th in receiving yards (831), which are the most by an Eagles WR through 11 games since Jeremy Maclin in 2014 (980 yards). |
| According to Pro Football Focus, Lane Johnson has not allowed a sack since Week 11 of 2020 or a QB hit since Week 7 of 2021. He leads all NFL tackles with a 0.1% knockdown percentage (0 sacks, 1 QB hit in 809 pass-blocking snaps) since the start of last season. |
| Haason Reddick (8.0) and Javon Hargrave (7.0) are the first Eagles duo with 7.0+ sacks each through 11 games since Trent Cole (7.0) and Darren Howard (8.0) accomplished the feat in 2008. Reddick is tied for the most strip sacks (3) in the NFL and Hargrave ranks 3rd among DTs in sacks, behind Chris Jones (10.0) and Quinnen Williams (8.0). |
| T.J. Edwards is one of four NFL players with 100+ tackles (102, 8th in NFL) and multiple sacks (2.0) this season, joining Nick Bolton, Roquan Smith and Derwin James. Additionally, Edwards’ 102 tackles are the most by an Eagle in the first 11 games of a season since 2000. |

Henry ranks 2nd in the NFL with 1326 scrimmage yards in 2022 and aims for his 3rd career season with 1500 scrimmage yards. |
| Fun Fact |
| During the 1999 NFL season, the Titans were the only team that was able to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars dominated the NFL during the 1999 season, but their kryptonite proved to be their division rival Tennessee Titans. That season, Jacksonville went 14-2 in the regular season, with both losses coming to the Tennessee Titans (Titans won these games 20-19 and 41-14). Later on in the playoffs, Jacksonville defeated the Miami Dolphins in very convincing fashion by a score of 62-7, but would fall to Tennessee 33-14 in the AFC Championship Game. It’s the only time in NFL history where a team went 14-3 (including the playoffs) and had all three losses come to the same franchise. |
| A Trip through Time |
| In 1991, the Philadelphia Eagles had the defense in the NFL and one of the best all-time (the best when you measure it by DVOA) and in week 14 they faced off against the second most productive offense in the league on Monday Night Football. The Eagles defensive line was the key to their success, anchored by DE Reggie White and included DE Clyde Simmons and DT Jerome Brown, but there was plenty of talent at linebacker and in the defensive backfield as well. The offense was another story though, especially after losing star QB Randall Cunningham to a season-ending knee injury in the first game of the season. Backup and former Bears QB Jim McMahon was talented but brittle, and when he was forced to the sidelines, the team floundered with the likes of Brad Goebel and Pat Ryan in his place. But after dropping to 3-5, the Eagles caught fire and won four straight games to come into the contest in Houston with a 7-5 record and a shot at the playoffs. The Titans were 9-3 and adept at rolling up offensive yards, especially at home in the Astrodome, which was thus dubbed “the House of Pain”. QB Warren Moon fit perfectly into the team’s run-and-shoot attack and had a capable receiving corps. Philadelphia’s approach to stopping the offense was to use a 4-2-5 defense, dropping a linebacker and adding an extra defensive back on most downs. The Eagles defense opened the game getting a turnover after Moon fumble, but the inept offense could do nothing with it and they were forced to punt. The team continued to exchange punts until the Oilers drove into Philadelphia territory only to be stymied again by the Eagles defense as Andre Waters forced a fumble on Oilers WR Haywood Jefferies following a hard hit. Eagles LB Seth Joyer recovered and returned it to the 48 only for the Eagles offense to again do nothing with it. The teams continued to exchange punts until Al Del Greco connected from 42 yards out to give the Oilers a 3-0 lead going into the half. McMahon was knocked out of the game with an elbow injury during the first series of the third quarter and Jeff Kemp, who was claimed off waivers from Seattle in mid-October, came on at quarterback for the Eagles. Philadelphia had to punt but got the ball back on the next play when Joyner recovered a Moon fumble at the Houston eight. The visitors couldn’t reach the end zone in three plays, but they did tie the score when Roger Ruzek kicked a 23-yard field goal. The Oilers went three-and-out on their next series, unable to gain any ground at all from their 12 yard line. The resulting punt gave Philadelphia possession at the Houston 48. RB James Joseph ran for 24 yards on first down and, after a short running play, Kemp connected with TE Keith Jackson for a 21-yard touchdown. Ruzek added the extra point and the Eagles were ahead by 10-3 for their first lead of the game. The Oilers drove down the field on their next possession, but again needed to settle for a FG to make it 10-6. The teams traded punts once more as the game entered the fourth quarter. The Eagles then put together a long possession of 50 yards in 16 plays, converting four third downs along the way and eating up over ten minutes. Kemp completed five short passes and Ruzek finished off the series with a 29-yard field goal that extended Philadelphia’s lead to seven points. With the clock down to 3:52 in regulation, Moon went to the air on every play but WR Drew Hill fumbled when hit by CB Otis Smith, who recovered at the Philadelphia 41. Another punt was followed by one last shot for the Oilers. Starting from his 23, Moon threw to Harris for 24 yards and had back-to-back 15-yard completions to Givins and Jeffires. But the game ended for Houston at the Philadelphia 23, where three straight passes fell incomplete. The Eagles won the hard-fought contest by a final score of 13-6. In the end, the Eagles defense registered 5 turnovers and 4 sacks while holding the Oilers high scoring defense to just 6 points and just 21 yards on the ground. The contest came to be called “the House of Pain Game” for Philadelphia’s hard-hitting defensive dominance, thus turning around the original meaning of the phrase, which was further accented by Ernest Givins suffering a broken nose and Drew Hill leaving with a concussion. As Jerome Brown said afterward, “They brought the house and we brought the pain. |

| WDB Matchups |
| The More You Know |
| The Eagles offensive line currently has two of the 10 highest graded offensive linemen in the league on their line with Jason Kelce currently ranked as the 6th highest graded lineman while Lane Johnson is the 10th. The two have been anchors on the Eagles line for the last 10+ and are a big reason the Eagles have been one of the top rating OLs during their tenure. Lane Johnson in particular has been on quite a roll, not allowing a sack in over 2 calendar years at this point going back to 2020. |
| Matchups to Watch |
| Derrick Henry vs the Eagles Run Defense |
| Derrick Henry is one of the best running backs in the league and is currently the league's 2nd leading rusher behind Josh Jacobs and is also second in yards after contact, also behind Jacobs, while leading the league with 25 broken tackles. The Eagles run defense has improved over the last few weeks since adding veterans, Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph, but it is still suspect and definitely not perfect. That said it may get another boost this week as they get back their first pick in the draft this year Jordan Davis after the Eagles activated his practice window following an IR stint. The Titans are a run heavy team rushing on roughly 54% of their snap, so the Eagles better prepare for a healthy dose of Henry early and often. Gannon should be familiar with Henry seeing him twice a year for three seasons while he was with the Colts, so he should be able to come up with a game plan to stop him especially giving a blueprint in week 12 by the Bengals who held him to 38 yards. That said he is going to need his players to step up to the plate by wrapping up and gang tackling to make sure Henry isn’t able to break tackles for long runs. If the Eagles can shut down Henry their secondary has the tools to force Tannehill into mistakes. |
| Dennis Daley vs the Eagles edge rushers |
| The Eagles defense is currently tied for 3rd in the league in sacks behind the Cowboys and Patriots (The Patriots did play an extra game) with pressure coming from all across the line and the linebackers. Brandon Graham, Hassan Reddick and Josh Sweat should have a good game Sunday matching up against backup LT Dennis Daley who is filling in for Taylor Lewan who was lost for the season with a torn ACL. Daley has given up 32 pressures and 6 sacks in his 10 games filling in for Lewan and is definitely the most vulnerable player on the offensive line. That said, the Eagles should also be able to attack guard Aaron Brewer and RT Nicholas Petit-Frere who have each given up 2 sacks a piece and 19 and 23 pressures respectively. Who knows maybe we might even see a sack from Robert Quinn who has done next to nothing since being acquired by the Eagles. Regardless, if the Eagles are able to get pressure on Tannehill it will help quite a bit as his completion presentation drops 20% compared to when he is kept clean according to PFF. |
| Eagles WRs vs the Titans Secondary |
| Particularly, AJ Brown vs his former team whom I am sure it is looking to have a big day against. The Titans have a young, but talented secondary. They will be without former first round pick Caleb Farley who was placed on the IR 3 weeks ago, though Farley was struggling this season. Kristian Fulton, Elijah Molden and rookie Roger McCreary will be the starting CBs for the Titans this week. Molden has a smaller sample size playing only recently after a return from injury. None of the 3 are shutdown corners though and it should provide opportunities for the Eagles WRs. McCreary has been picked on the most this season giving up 44 receptions for 453 yards and 4 TDs. and a NFL passer rating of 106.5 when targeted. Fulton has fared slightly better giving up 29 receptions for 381 and 4 TDs with a passer rating of 98.6 when targeted. The Titans biggest loss this season came when they faced a WR similar to AJ Brown in Stefon Diggs who had 12 receptions for 148 yards and 3 TDs vs the Titans and like the Bills the Eagles also have a mobile QB who can move the pocket in Hurts like the Bills have in Allen. The plays should be there if Hurts gets time from the OL. We have seen this year when the passing game gets going for the Eagles their offense will be tough to slow. |
| Eagles Offensive Line vs the Titans Defensive Line |
| The Titans have the best third down defense in the league this season and that is mostly in part from the DL getting stops early in the run game and forcing opposing offenses into 3rd and longs where their talented pass rush can go feasting. The Titans DL isn’t far behind the Eagles as they have 31 sacks. Their three main pass rushers are Denico Autry (7 sacks), Jeffrey Simmons (6.5 sacks) and Demarcus Walker (4.5 sacks) then they have Bud Dupree(3 sacks) and Rashad Weaver (5.5 sacks) to blitz from their linebacker positions. Dupree in particular could give Jordan Mailata some fits with his speed rush around the edge. That said Autry missed last week against Cincinnati with a knee injury and is trending towards not playing this week against the Eagles as well as he has yet to practice this week. Jeffrey Simmons also has not practiced so far this week with an ankle injury. The Eagles play their best when they win in the trenches and this will be a fight, though if Simmons and Autry both end up missing the game, this scale definitely tips in the Eagles favor up front from being more of a stalemate. |

2022.11.23 21:45 NawtAGoodNinja Football Pickem - Give Thanks Edition! Baylor Bears @ ²³ Texas Longhorns - 11.25.2022 [11:00 AM CST]
Well friends, I'm thankful this week. For a lot of things, but mostly because we've got another Baylor Football game to play, and hopefully redeem the season. This Friday, the Bears take a little trip down I-35 to pay a visit to our burnt orange brethren and have a game of pigskin. After a heartbreaking loss against the Horned Frogs, Baylor will be looking to right the ship. Texas, however, has a bone to pick with Baylor: They need a win if they want a trip to the Big 12 Championship (they'll also need Kansas to pick off Kansas State).
So there's a lot on the line this Thanksgiving. Tell us:
Who wins?

2022.11.23 21:15 Rsubs33 Game Preview Week 12 Philadelphia Eagles (9-1) vs the Green Bay Packers (4-7) Game Preview
| Philadelphia Eagles (9-1) vs the Green Bay Packers (4-7) |
| The Eagles eked out a tough win last week against the Indianapolis Colts winning 17-16 in Indy. This week they will come home to face off against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. The Packers are not having the year they hoped for and are on pace for their worst season since 2017 when Aaron Rodgers broke his clavicle in week 7 and missed the remainder of the season. Rodgers is healthy this season, but the Packers offense has struggled with the loss of Devante Adams in Free Agency to go with a defense that is not shutting people down. The Packers are 4-7 and coming off a 27-17 loss to the Titans. On paper the Eagles should win this game, they are 9-1 to the Packers 4-7, the Eagles have two top corners while the Packers young WR corps has struggled to get open for Aaron Rodgers (though they have been better in recent weeks), the Eagles run defense looked significantly better against the Colts and the Eagles should have an advantage on offense, but the Packers still have one thing that always makes them a threat, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers is not having the season he did a year ago, but he is a future HoF who knows how to win. The Eagles need to keep Rodgers in check and get to him early and often to ensure he isn’t comfortable in the pocket. On offense the Eagles need to figure out what has been vexing them the last few weeks both in getting the running backs going on the ground and getting the passing game back on track. Perhaps the answer is what won them the game last week, Jalen Hurts legs. The threat of Hurts to run the football freezes opposing defenses and makes them think which can open up the run game and the passing game. The Eagles will be wearing their all black uniforms and debuting their black helmet on Sunday. Go Birds! |

| Packers 30 - Eagles 16 |
| In what became the final start for Carson Wentz in an Eagles uniform, the Eagles struggled to get anything going to start the game. And were down 14-3 heading into halftime. Carson Wentz was benched in favor of Jalen Hurts after the first drive in the third quarter. Philadelphia's rally started with Hurts' 32-yard touchdown pass to Greg Ward on fourth-and-18. Jalen Reagor's 73-yard punt return cut the lead to 23-16 with 6:30 left, though Jake Elliott missed the extra point. The Eagles forced a second straight three-and-out, but couldn't move the ball and punted. That's when Jones put away the game with a 77 TD run with 2:36 left in the game. Hurts got the nod the following with and Wentz sore loser attitude bought him a ticket out of Philly in the offseason. |

| Rodgers came out firing and led the Packers on consecutive touchdown drives to start the game. Rodgers extended the opening drive by running twice for 25 yards and tossed a 12-yard TD pass to Adams for a 7-0 lead. After the Eagles answered on Wentz's 1-yard TD run , Rodgers led another 75-yard scoring drive. He threw a perfect 20-yard TD pass to Adams to give the Packers a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter. Nolan Carroll had excellent coverage on the play, but Rodgers put the ball in a tight spot and hit Adams in stride in the back of the end zone. Aaron Ripkowski's 1-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter extended Green Bay's lead to 24-13. The Packers added a late FG for the 27-13 win. |

| Recap from Last Week’s Games |
| Eagles |
| The Eagles looked to rebound after suffering their first loss of the season as they traveled to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. This was head coach Nick Sirianni's first return to Indianapolis since leaving the team in January 2021 to become the Eagles' head coach. Sirianni previously served as the Colts' offensive coordinator under then-head coach Frank Reich from 2018 to 2020, appearing in the playoffs twice in that span, and Sirianni's last game was the 2020 AFC Wild Card game, which was a 27–24 loss to the Buffalo Bills. After trailing 13–3 through three quarters, the Eagles rallied in the fourth quarter. When the Eagles lined up with less than 90 seconds to play and four receivers spread across the field, Hurts read the defense and sprinted straight to the end zone before Indy's defense could react. The Extra point gave them a one point lead and the Eagles sealed the game on the next possession as Brandon Graham made up for his mistake last week with a sack on 3rd down to put the Colts in 4th and 16th. A false start put them in 4th and 21 a short pass and tackle by White sealed the game to give the Eagles a 17-16 win. This victory marked the first time the Eagles won a game after trailing by 10 or more points entering the fourth quarter since 2010. The Eagles improved to 9–1, matching their win total from 2018, 2019, and 2021, and matching their best record through 10 games set in 1949, 1960, 1980, 2004, and 2017. |
| Packers |
| The Packers tried to take away All-Pro Derrick Henry and they did limit him to 87 yards on 28 carries though he did throw for a TD, but in doing so they let Ryan Tennhill throw for 333 yards and 2 TDs. Tennessee led 7-6 at the end of the first quarter and then dominated the second, running 27 plays to the Packers' six and outgaining Green Bay 91 yards to 17. Tennessee started the quarter with a drive that lasted over 10 minutes but didn't result in any points because Quay Walker stuffed Henry for a 2-yard loss on fourth-and-1 from the 4. Tennessee had the ball for 18 plays, the Titans' longest scoreless drive since at least 2000. The Titans were able to force a 3 punt on the next series though which was the first of 3 straight TD drives by the Titans. Chirstian Watson's second touchdown of the night helped Green Bay narrow Tennessee's advantage to 20-17 late in the third quarter, but the Packers' offense did nothing the rest of the game as the Packers fell to the Titans 27-17. |

| Philadelphia owns the best record in the NFL (9-1). The Eagles are 9-1 for just the sixth time in franchise history, having previously done so during the 1949, 1960, 1980, 2004 and 2017 campaigns. |
| Philadelphia has secured its 18th winning season under Jeffrey Lurie. Since Lurie’s first full year of ownership in 1995, the Eagles have produced the 5th-most winning seasons in the NFL, trailing only New England (23), Green Bay (21), Pittsburgh (20) and Indianapolis (19). |
| Over the last 10 seasons (since 2013), only four coaches have started 9-1 or better during their first or second career year as a head coach: Nick Sirianni (2022 Eagles), Sean McVay (2018 Rams), Doug Pederson (2017 Eagles) and Bruce Arians (2014 Cardinals). |
| Jalen Hurts has produced the 4th-most total yards (2,847) in the NFL, behind Patrick Mahomes (3,503), Josh Allen (3,413) and Joe Burrow (3,036) in that category. Hurts also ranks 4th in total TDs (23), trailing only Mahomes (29), Burrow (26) and Allen (25). |
| Hurts owns the 2nd-most yards per pass attempt (8.3) in the NFL, behind Tua Tagovailoa (9.1). His 106.5 passer rating ranks 4th in the NFL, behind Tagovailoa (118.4), Geno Smith (108.0) and Mahomes (107.3). |
| A.J. Brown ranks 2nd in the NFL in receiving average (16.0), trailing only Jaylen Waddle (17.2) (min. 30 receptions). |
| According to Pro Football Focus, Lane Johnson has not allowed a sack since Week 11 of 2020 or a QB hit since Week 7 of 2021. His 0.1% knockdown percentage (0 sacks, 1 QB hit in 773 pass-blocking snaps) leads all NFL tackles since the start of last season. |
| C.J. Gardner-Johnson leads the league with a career-high 6 INTs (came into this season with 5 career INTs). Since the 1970 merger, only two Eagles safeties have had more INTs in a season: Bill Bradley in 1971 (franchise-record 11) and 1972 (9), and Ray Ellis in 1984 (7). |
| Haason Reddick (7.5) and Javon Hargrave (7.0) are the first Eagles duo to each register 7.0+ sacks through 10 games since Clyde Simmons (9.0) and Reggie White (8.0) in 1991. Reddick is tied for the NFL lead in strip sacks (3), while Hargrave owns the 3rd-most sacks among DTs, behind Chris Jones (9.0) and Quinnen Williams (8.0). |
| T.J. Edwards ranks 5th in the NFL in tackles (96), behind Zaire Franklin (108), Jordyn Brooks (106), Rashaan Evans (106) and C.J. Mosley (97). Edwards is one of only three players with 95+ tackles and multiple sacks this season, joining Roquan Smith and Nick Bolton. |
| Fun Fact |
| Packers HoF QB Brett Favre’s 63.5 passer rating against the Eagles was his lowest against any team he faced. It’s also 6th-lowest ever of the 41 QBs who’ve thrown at least 200 passes against the Eagles. Favre was 0-6 in his career in Philadelphia with four TDs and 10 INTs. |
| A Trip through Time |
| The Eagles and Packers have a rich history that dates back to 1933 which is the Eagles first year of existence. The Eagles’ first road game in franchise history was against the Packers at City Stadium in Green Bay in 1933, and former Temple star Swede Hanson, who grew up in Central Jersey, scored the first TD in Eagles history that day in a 35-9 loss. Some of the Eagles greatest moments have come against the Packers much to the dismay of Packers fans. Many fans probably remember the famous or infamous 4th and 26th, depending who is reading this, where Donovan McNabb completed the improbable pass to the most improbable receiver, Freddy “FredEx” Mitchell in 2003 for the first down, but the Eagles have had a number of other great moments. The one which stands out the most, is the 1960 NFL Championship game. The Packers won the first 10 matchups against the Eagles and were 14-1 heading into the game, where the two teams were reaching their first Championships since the Eagles won in 1949 and the Packers won in 1944. For the Eagles, it was the last championship game played in Philadelphia and the first at Franklin Field which due to the venue’s lack of lights (lights were not installed until 1970) forced the game time to be moved up to 12pm. The game was also played on a Monday, as the NFL did not want to play a game on Christmas. And unlike tickets today, ticket prices for the game were just ten and eight dollars. The home team was a three point underdog to Vince Lombardi’s Packers. On the first play from scrimmage, a lateral from Norm Van Brocklin deflected off the hands of receiver Billy Ray Barnes and was intercepted by Bill Quinlan of the Packers, giving Green Bay possession at the Philadelphia 14-yard line. After Jim Taylor gained five yards on first down, the Packers were unable to score, turning the ball over on downs to Philadelphia at the six-yard line. A fumble on the Eagles' third play after gaining possession by Bill Barnes was recovered by Bill Forester of Green Bay at the 22-yard line of Philadelphia.The Eagles defense was able to hold again and Lombardi elected to kick on fourth down, with Hornung connecting from twenty yards out to give the Packers a 3–0 lead. The Packers added another Hornung FG to put the Packers up 6-0. The Eagles answered when two future hall of famers hooked up as Van Brocklin hit Tommy McDonald on a pair of passes, the second being a 35 yard TD reception with the extra point giving the Eagles the lead. The Eagles added a Walston FG later in the quarter to give them a 10-6 lead going into the half. The Eagles threatened in the 3rd quarter marching down the field before Van Brocklin was intercepted in the end zone by John Symank. The Eagles stopped the Packers next 3 plays and forced a punt, but a run by Max McGee for 35 yards gave the Packers a 1st down. Despite the successful first down, Lombardi was not too pleased with the deception stating “We punt the ball; we don't run the ball" when the team sets up for a punt. The drive continued into the 4th quarter and the Packers marched down the field in a drive that culminated with a Bart Starr TD pass to McGee. On the ensuing kickoff Ted Dean returned the ball 58 yards giving the Eagles excellent field position at the Packers 39 yard line. The Eagles moved the ball on the ground on the drive with Van Brocklin passing once as they retook the lead on a 5 yard run by Dean 17-13. After trading punts the Packers began their final drive from their 35 with a 1:05 remaining. Starr completed his first pass to Knafelc which ended with him tackled out of bounds on the Eagles 30. The Packers worked their way down to the 22 as the clock continued to run Starr completed a pass to Taylor who only had one defender between him and endzone, Chuck Bednarik, who made the tackle at the 9 yard line as the final seconds ticked off the clock to give the Eagles the win. The championship win would be the Eagles last championship until Super Bowl LII 57 long years later. The Game would also prove to be the only career playoff loss for Packer head coach Vince Lombardi. |

| The More You Know |
| The Eagles added two veteran DTs in Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph, many wondered how much these two had left in the tank after being unsigned and waiting to find their spot this offseason. They answered the question that the two combined for a sack in their first game where they played 17%(Suh) and 40%(Joseph) of the defensive snaps; in those snaps they had the two highest pass rush win rates on the Eagles in their first game. According to PFF, Suh had a win rate of 28.6% in his 7 pass rush snaps and Joseph had a win rate of 25% on his 8 snaps. Time will tell if these rates will stay the same as their roles expand with additional time in the defense, as both were added mid week prior to the Colts game. |
| Matchups to Watch |
| Aaron Jones and AJ Dillion vs the Eagles Run Defense |
| The Eagles additions of Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh have appeared to at least help the run defense which was abysmal in previous weeks. The two played a combined 43 snaps (Joseph - 26 and Suh - 17), which was impressive since Suh had just two days to learn the terminology with Joseph getting one additional day. The two combined for seven tackles, two quarterback hits and a combo sack and helped sure up the leaky run defense against one of the best running backs in the league in Jonathan Taylor. Taylor was held under 100 yards after rushing for 147 the week before. The combo and the rest of the front seven will need to do the same this week against the Packers who were able to upset the Cowboys two weeks ago by running the football and keeping the Cowboys offense off the field, similar to how the Commanders beat the Eagles in week 10. The Packers combo of Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon is a force. They are tough hardnose runners who are hard to bring down. Jones is smaller, but slippery and has great vision, while Dillon is a big back at nearly 247 lbs and will run through arm tackles. The Eagles tackling was much improved against the Colts and that needs to continue against the Packers. If the Eagles can shut down Jones and Dillon on early downs to force the Packers into 3rd and longs it will tilt the game in favor of the Eagles especially with the advantages the Eagles secondary has over the Packers young WR corps and the Eagles pass rush. |
| Eagles rushing attack vs the Packers run defense |
| The Eagles offense functions the best when they can run the football and set up the play-action and RPOs, but that has not happened the last few weeks. The Eagles had 141 yards on the ground in week 11, but 86 of that came from Jalen Hurts with most coming on scrambles vs designed runs. The Eagles also failed to get the run game going against Washington. The Eagles should be able to run the ball against this Packers defense though, they ranked 24th in rushing yards per game against and 22nd in YPA at 4.6. The Eagles win when they win battles in the trenches and this is a game I think the Eagles OL can move the Packers DL and get Sanders and the Eagles running backs going up front. While the running backs need to get going I think Hurts needs to continue what he did last week as well. He ran less in recent weeks and left yards on the field opting to take sacks or throw it away when there was room to run and pick up additional yards. Hurts legs are a weapon that make opposing defenses think and make the RPOs that much more dangerous when Hurts establishes he is a threat to run the ball as well. The Eagles need to establish the run early and it will allow them to have the entire playbook at their disposal. |
| Eagles WRs vs the Packers Secondary |
| The Eagles WRs have been quite the last couple weeks and they are bound to break out at some point and this may be the week. AJ Brown in particular has been quiet, but he matches up well against the Packers secondary. Brown is a big WR and nearly 30 lbs on Jaire Alexander and 20lbs on former Eagle Rasul Douglas. I expect Brown to use that size advantage to his advantage similar to how he did against the Steelers where he had 3 TDs and 153 yards in a lopsided win. Smith has also been quite the last couple weeks though his matchup is not nearly as good as Brown has against this secondary, Smith’s route running ability should be an advantage against the slow Douglas when the two are matched up. It will be interesting to see how the Packers try to stop the Eagles WRs. While Alexander is the better of the two corners, Brown has a height and significant weight advantage over him and Smith’s speed could pose an issue for Douglas. At the same time, putting Douglas on Brown may not work out any better. One WR that I think will be limited is Watkins as the Packers have Darnell Savage over the top and I think Watkins even with his speed will have a tougher time running by him. We will see if the Eagles WRs can get out of their funk this week or if they will need to rely on the run game and Hurts like last week. |
| Packers WRs vs the Eagles secondary |
| The Eagles corners have played exceptionally well this week outside of a few lapses. At the same time the Packers WRs have struggled to get on the same page as Aaron Rodgers, most the season though they are getting on the same page recently. This doesn’t mean the Eagles secondary will be in for a walk in the park, the Eagles will again be without slot corner Avonte Maddox who will miss his second game on the IR putting Josiah Scott in the spotlight. The Packers WRs who are mostly young outside of veteran Randall Cobb have a significant height advantage over the Eagles secondary, Watson - 6’4, Lazard, 6’5, Doubs 6’2, Watkins 6’1, Cobb 5’10. For the Eagles Epps and Slay are both 6’0 and Bradberry is 6’1, but Gardner-Johnson is 5’11 and Scott is only 5’9, so height could pose a problem especially with Rodgers ability to place the football. The Eagles corners will need to play tight and get their arms in to break up passes like they have done most of this season. If the secondary can play tight the Eagles pass rush should be able to get home against a beat up Packers OL that has had 6 combinations through 11 games. |

2022.11.20 06:48 Meninaeidethea Is South Carolina's win over Tennessee the biggest 'flipped cover' on record?
By 'flipped cover' I mean a game where a team is underdogs by a certain amount but ends up winning by at least that much. Is there an instance more than 22.5? Anyone know how long they've been tracking that or how to try and find a larger one?
Inspired by
this comment from a prior postgame thread in which South Carolina almost reached this same flipped cover, having been
20.5 point underdogs to Florida and winning by 23.
The biggest one I could think of at the time was Iowa beating Ohio State by 31 as
21 point underdogs in 2017. Another commenter mentioned GA State over GA Southern in 2015, but I wasn't able to find a line bigger than 21 for that one.
