Eagles Eye Momentum Against Cardinals After Win

Eagles Eye Momentum Against Cardinals After Win

PHILADELPHIA – A three-game losing streak has ended. Can the Philadelphia Eagles build their own one-game miniseries now? It’s not like their 33-25 Christmas win over the New York Giants was Mona Lisa or anything, but like the five well-used words that followed many of their 10-1 wins, a win is a win. .

At this point in the season, wins over a Giants team with just five wins should be more decisive and confident, not ones that require a last-second end zone interception by a rookie like Kelee Ringo. DeVonta Smith wasn’t happy with the offense after that, and we still have no idea why A.J. Brown didn’t want to talk after the game or in the locker room all week.

Perhaps a more convincing win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field (1 p.m./FOX) will bring more smiles to the players and #039; face and Brown breaks his self-imposed media silence. Depending on how these last two weeks go, this could very well be the last home game of the season for the Eagles.

Not only do the Eagles need another win in Week 17, but one that allows for a whirlwind, easy fourth quarter where the outcome is already decided and the current 11-4 Eagles move to 12-4 before the clock hits all zeros. Here are some players and coaches to watch: D’Andre Swift. The coach is 12 yards away from the first 1,000-yard season of his four-year career.

He couldn’t speak in the locker room this week, but his running mate Kenny Gainwell was there. “I’m pretty sure every quarterback in the backfield behind that O-line is going to get 1,000 yards here — easy,” Gainwell said. “You just have to get touches.

It’s really easy because, man, just run behind (Jason) Kelce and that guy makes it happen. The hope is to come back next year so we can do it again.” This is the second year in a row that LeSean McCoy had a 1,000-yard rusher in 2014. Miles Sanders topped 1,000 last year. A.J. brown He doesn’t talk to reporters, but he still makes big plays. If he can pass for 100-plus yards, it would be his eighth such game and break the tie for most games in franchise history that he currently shares with Terrell Owens (2004). With 1,394 yards, Brown is also just 103 yards short of the team record he set last year. Most receiving yards were 1,496.

 

Gannon’s reaction. Most players have no hard feelings against the former DC, but it’s nice to see the fans welcome him home. “No extra motivation because he’s gone,” said cornerback Darius Slay, who will miss his third straight game after arthroscopic knee surgery. – There is more motivation to beat him because we want to win. This is an NFC game. This is the motivation to defeat him.

There is no bad blood in JG. He is a great coach. – He got a great opportunity to become a head coach and he will try to be one of the best head coaches in the league. He’s chasing his dream, so there’s no negativity about how he left. It’s more than we want to beat JG because it’s the next game and it’s the most important.” Kelee Ringo Each of the past two weeks, the rookie fourth-round pick has seemed to improve and has become a must-watch to see how he performs. He recorded the first shutout in what would be career-high numbers in last week’s win.

“I thought I played pretty well,” he said. “We just came out and stuck to the game plan, some of the things we talked about this week. I feel like if we can do that and meet our standard, you can go out and do what we do consistently during the week and have pretty good games.

Ringo added that the moment is not too big for him. andquot;I actually like doing it,” he said. “You know, throughout my career, I’ve been that person who wants to be in those situations and just take risks and be confident in every situation.”
