Here’s What Alshon Jeffery Had To Say After Dropped Pass In Eagles Loss
The Philadelphia Eagles run to defend last year’s Super Bowl victory is done. And it passed right through Alshon Jeffery’s hands. With the Eagles driving down the field with just under 2:00 remaining in the fourth quarter and trailing the Saints 20-14, Jeffery had a Nick Foles pass slip through his fingers and into the grasp of New Orleans defensive back Marshon Lattimore for an interception that effectively closed the book on a Philly repeat. After the game, Jeffery handled the drop with class, and took responsibility for the loss. “I gotta make that play. That’s on me, I’ll take that loss. That’s on me. Let all my teammates down. To...

Bears’ Cody Parkey’s Missed Kick Made Eagles’ Nick Foles Some Extra Money
Nick Foles came just four plays short of earning himself a million dollars in last Sunday’s matchup after he injured his ribs, but he didn’t miss out in the NFC Wild Card game. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback had many reasons to celebrate Sunday after his team defeated the Chicago Bears in dramatic fashion (and heartbreaking fashion for Bears’ fans) to earn a spot in the NFC Divisional Round, where they will take on Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.

The bookmaker also took a $ 1.6 bet on Philadelphia earlier in the week. MGM in Las Vegas took multimillion-dollar... NESN.com

Chip Kelly, Eagles Don’t Love Sam Bradford, But That’s OK In Today’s NFL
Sam Bradford is not the quarterback of Chip Kelly’s dreams. Neither, apparently, was Nick Foles, who the Eagles traded to acquire Bradford this offseason. But according to FootballbyFootball.com‘s Matt Chatham, that could actually be a good thing. The way Chatham explains it, most players in the NFL are not the ideal player their team would live to have at that position. Accepting that fact just gives you an empowering advantage. “Contracts give players a sense of security and ‘belonging’ to an organization,” Chatham explains. “But there’s a reason contract terms don’t extend into eternity. When there’s a better opti...
