Week 2 non-Eagles Sunday 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. In 2018, with the Birds being favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, it's perhaps worth keeping tabs on the conference, as opposed to just the division. And so, each week we'll lay out a rooting guide for non-Eagles games on the NFL schedule, and yes, I'm aware that most of the below is obvious.

As always, win or lose, we hand out 10 awards.

by Jimmy Kempski

Apparently, NFL Films recorded a show to run at some point on NFL Network on the Top 10 list for end zone celebrations of 2017. The Eagles were the clear and obvious choice for the No. 1 spot. It was fun watching the following clip of the Eagles' many, many celebrations last season.
