Eagles vs. Lions: Five matchups to watch

by Jimmy Kempski

Over the years, while the Detroit Lions aren't a division rival, they have had a number of memorable games against the Philadelphia Eagles. For example, the last time these two teams matched up, the Lions obliterated the Eagles in front of a national audience on Thanksgiving. The meeting before that was the iconic Snow Bowl. Here are five matchups to watch this upcoming Sunday.

NFC Hierarchy/Obituary after Week 4

by Jimmy Kempski

As we noted last week, our Hierarchy/Obituary series will be a little more sporadic this season due to time constraints, but since we're coming off a bye week, we have a little more time than usual this week to bang one out, for the second straight week. There are still no obituaries. Let's get right to it.

Eagles bye week comes at inopportune time, but schedule still favorable overall

by Jimmy Kempski

When the Philadelphia Eagles' schedule came out, there was one glaring disadvantage -- a Week 4 bye, which is the earliest possible time you can get your week off. Generally speaking, NFL teams like to get their bye week later in the season, when the grind of the season really begins to take a toll on players' bodies.

Eagles QB Carson Wentz's trophy case is filling up quickly

by Jimmy Kempski

Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz is good. There. I said it. This hot take was brought to you by whatever ad you see below. Over the first three weeks of his NFL career, Wentz has racked up quite a number of awards.
