Eagles at Cardinals: Five matchups to watch

by Jimmy Kempski

This time last year, the Arizona Cardinals were 4-0 with a point differential of +55. They actually started 7-0, before losing 6 of their final 10 regular season games, capped off by a feeble one-and-done showing in the wildcard round of the playoffs. In 2022, the Cardinals are out to a 2-2 start, which sounds respectable enough, but it has not been a pretty display of football. Here are our five matchups to watch.

The Eagles' offense has been incredible on 'end of the first half' drives

by Jimmy Kempski

The final two minutes of the first half is an underrated, critical juncture in NFL games, when offenses have a chance to add points on the scoreboard in more difficult, time-constrained situations. The Eagles have been among the best in the NFL at it in 2022.

Week 4 non-Eagles rooting guide

by Jimmy Kempski

In past seasons, Philadelphia Eagles fans generally rooted for their own team, and kept an eye on the rest of the NFC East. Now that they might be Super Bowl contenders — especially in a bad NFC — it's probably worth paying attention to rest of the conference as well. There are also peripheral rooting interests for Birds fans this season, as they own an extra first-round draft pick in 2023. And so, each week we'll lay out a rooting guide each week for non-Eagles games on the NFL schedule.
