Carson Wentz shook off two brutal turnovers, five sacks and some of the expected rust from from being on the sidelines for over nine months, to lead the Eagles on a 17-play, 75-yard game-winning touchdown drive against the visiting Indianapolis Colts with just over three minutes left in the fourth quarter. The final score was […]
Eagles head coach Doug Pederson saw his offense was not coming out of his first-half funk against the Atlanta Falcons in the season opener at the Linc; so he went retro. With 7:41 left in the third quarter and trailing 6-3, Pederson called for the “Philly Special,” the trick play that will live forever in […]
The Eagles gave their fans the most memorable postseason in franchise history last year. Then follwed that up with arguably the most forgetable preseason in franchise history. The Eagles entered their final scrimmage with a record of 0-3, not scoring in five straight quarters. That rude streak continued through halftime against the Jets at the […]
Eagles players and coaches have been together now for four months; five months if you weren’t a draft pick. Over that time this group became a team, many players call it a brotherhood.

It sounds more like a April Fool’s Day joke than a Trick-or-Treat item. That’s what I initially thought when I heard the news that day. Despite the rumors in Miami of an unstable […]
PHILADELPHIA: The Eagles opened their 2018 preseason schedule at the Linc Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it went about as well as you would expect from a game with mostly backups on the field. The teams combined for six fumbles, four turnovers, including three interceptions and 19 penalties for 116 yards. There was […]
In case you weren’t sure, NFL coaches Do not game plan for preseason games. When someone asked a verson of that question on Tuesday after practice, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson couldn’t resist. “We play the Steelers. Kickoff is, I believe, at 7:00 o’clock,” said Pederson, getting a chuckle out of the heat-soaked media. “We’re […]
Running back Donnel Pumphrey was a lost soul his rookie year. The speedster out of San Diego State was drafted in the fourth round to take over role of veteran Darren Sproles who had been a terror out the backfield and as a kick returner.
