Week 15 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, with a focus on the NFC East. They'll still do that in 2021, but there are even more peripheral rooting interests for Birds fans this season because they own 2022 draft picks from other teams.

The NFL's postponement of the Eagles-Washington game is straight bulls***

by Jimmy Kempski
