Watch Jordan Hicks mic’d up - YoutubeThere are some signs pointing to Carson Wentz returning for the Eagles’ Week 3 game - BGNNick Foles might be headed back to the bench soon.The Kist & Solak Show #9: Trevor Sikkema of Pewter Report Talks Bucs - BGN RadioMichael Kist is joined by Trevor Sikkema of Pewter Report Womens Jake Elliott Jersey , The Draft Network and Locked On NFL Draft to discuss all things Bucs. How, what, who is Ryan Fitzpatrick? What was the key to their play-calling in Week 1? Injury updates on DeSean Jackson, Brent Grimes and Vernon Hargreaves plus much much more!Eagles vs. Buccaneers: Five matchups to watch - PhillyVoiceJackson has killed the Eagles with big plays ever since Chip Kelly decided that his best receiver (by far) wasn’t worthy of a roster spot anymore. In 5 games against his former team, Jackson has 20 catches for 440 yards (22.0 YPC) and 2 TDs. In 2016, Jackson burned Schwartz’s defense (as noted above) with an 81-yard TD bomb. Jackson may not get a chance to burn the Birds once again on Sunday, as he suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury Week 1 against the Saints. Jackson’s absence would be a big break for the Eagles.Foles vs Fitz - Iggles BlitzThe key for Foles and Fitzpatrick is that the players around them did their jobs so well. Fitzpatrick dropped back to pass more than 30 times and he wasn’t sacked once. His receivers made big plays for him. DeSean Jackson used his explosive speed to get open deep for several big gains. Mike Evans hauled in a 50-yard TD. The Bucs had 8 pass plays of 20 yards or more. They have 5 that went for at least 35 yards. That sounds like the 1999 Rams! This is proof that you don’t need a great QB if all the other pieces perform at a high level. Obviously that’s not sustainable for a long period of time so people go after great QBs. But you can have guys like Fitz and Foles who do amazing things here and there.Eight years after triple bypass, Jeff Stoutland has found a ‘Super’ home with the Eagles - The Athletic“You feel like he’s coming from a place of, honestly, love,” says Kelce. “He’s a guy who cares for each and every guy. I don’t know if he got that from coaching in college and recruiting kids and whatnot. But that’s something I don’t think is the norm in the NFL. You definitely feel that with Stout. At all times, he’s just trying to help you be the best player you can be.” The relationships go both ways. When Stoutland was coaching in college, he would always tell Jake about Jason Peters. He would use Peters’ film with the Eagles as teaching tape for his players. Over the years, Peters became a mythical figure to Jake. Then his dad finally got to coach Peters in 2013 Derek Barnett Jersey , and the two formed a strong bond. When Stoutland’s dog, Cornell, died two years ago, he was devastated. And his players could tell. So Peters decided to spring into action and get the family a new dog, OL-iver.NFL Offensive Line Rankings – after Week 1 - PFFIt’s not an understatement to say that the quality in line play was the difference in last Thursday night’s game. The Eagles offensive line held up particularly well in pass protection against a formidable Falcons front thanks in large part to the return of Peters. The Eagles left tackle picked up where he left off before injury, not allowing a single pressure on 42 pass-blocking snaps.Just a Number: How Some of the NFL’s Over-the-Hill Players Dominated Week 1 - The RingerIn the Thursday night opener between the Falcons and Eagles, 35-year-old running back Darren Sproles got the start in the backfield. It was tough sledding for the veteran on the ground—he carried the ball just five times for 10 yards—but his talent as a pass catcher in the open field showed up when it mattered most. Sproles grabbed four passes for 22 yards, including this crucial third-down conversion in the fourth quarter, extending what would be the game-winning drive.Buccaneers’ Ryan Fitzpatrick loves and hates Eagles’ defense - NBCSPFor swagger to show up on game film 鈥?that’s pretty incredible. The veteran quarterback, who will face the Eagles on Sunday in Tampa Bay, said this to a group of Philadelphia reporters in a conference call in advance of the game. This is Fitzpatrick’s 14th season in the NFL, so his being impressed by the Eagles’ defense is really saying something.It’s not hard to figure out where the Eagles’ defense gets its swagger from. Jim Schwartz is oozing with it. Everything about his being oozes confidence, from the sunglasses on his face to his sleek suits to his walk. His players have taken on that same personality.That’s why a former seventh-round pick like Jalen Mills has been confident enough to earn a starting gig, win a Super Bowl and keep getting better.Ray Didinger: Ron Jaworski’s Victorious Debut Against The Bucs - PE.comRon Jaworski had concerns going into his first start for the Eagles. It was September 1977 http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-ronald-darby-jersey , and Jaworski was new to Philadelphia having just joined the team in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams. The regular-season opener was approaching and Jaworski was worried. Call it fear of the unknown. Jaworski didn’t know how he would be received by the Veterans Stadium crowd. He was in the Vet once before and it was a 1975 Monday night game when the Rams drubbed the Eagles, 42-3. That was the night the fans expressed their feelings about the Eagles by tossing a giant dog bone on the field.Mike Smith spoke to the media ahead of Sunday’s matchup - Bucs NationWhile preparing for the Eagles, the Buccaneers have turned to Vinny Curry and Beau Allen for a little insight on their former team. “They are a great resource for us. They know a bunch of guys on that team,” Smith said. “They have been able to give us some information and we think that will help us going forward. It’s going to be an emotional game for those guys as well, and we want them to be even keeled as much as possible.” There is no secret that Doug Pederson is one of the more aggressive play callers in the entire NFL. We saw it all last season and once again in week one, when he called the “Philly Special.” When facing these types of teams, Smith emphasized the importance of being on top of your game.NFL Panic Index 2018: Uh oh, the Saints defense is bad again - SB NationWhat the hell happened to the Saints’ defense? After a slow start to the 2017 season, the Saints’ defense caught its stride and finished the year 10th in points allowed. They have the reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year in Marshon Lattimore and one of the NFL’s most destructive defensive linemen in Cameron Jordan. So what in the world led to the Ryan Fitzpatrick-led Buccaneers beating the brakes off the Saints Sunday? The 48 points Tampa Bay scored is the most the Saints have allowed since their bananas 52-49 shootout win against the Giants in the middle of 2015. Sometimes teams start slow, but this was a little extreme....Social Media Information:BGN Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBGN Twitter: Follow @BleedingGreenBGN Manager: Brandon Lee Gowton: Follow @BrandonGowtonBGN Radio Twitter: Follow @BGN_Radio The playoff chase went down to the final minutes of the season Sunday, when Baltimore squeezed in as AFC North winner, and defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia got some help to secure an NFC wild card.That left Pittsburgh and Minnesota out.Kansas City (12-4) grabbed the AFC’s top seed, followed by New England (11-5), Houston (11-5) and Baltimore (10-6). The Chargers (12-4) own the first wild card and will play at the Ravens next Sunday at 1 p.m. EST. The Colts (10-6) romped past the Titans 33-17 at Tennessee and have the other wild card.

Mosley intercepted a fourth-down pass by Baker Mayfield to preserve the Ravens’ 26-24 win as Baltimore rushed for a season-best 296 yards. A year ago, Baltimore missed the playoffs by losing its finale at home to the Bengals, who rallied with a last-minute touchdown.“If you want to write a book about this season, probably no one would believe it,” coach John Harbaugh said.Steelers players remained on the field after they edged Cincinnati 16-13 and watched the drama from Baltimore on the videoboard. But their archrival Browns couldn’t help them against the equally hated Ravens, and Pittsburgh (9-6-1) is out.“It just sucks,” Steelers guard David DeCastro said. “How hard we work, how much effort we put in. To go from 7-2-1 to where we are now is heartbreaking.”Nick Foles, who led the Eagles to the Super Bowl title over the Patriots in Minneapolis last February, guided them to a resounding 24-0 victory at Washington. Then the Bears helped out at Minnesota with a 24-10 win even though they had nothing to play for, being set as the NFC’s third seed.“We’re not sneaking in. We’re here to do some damage,” Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins said.Earlier Wendell Smallwood Jersey , the Texans rallied from losing their first three games to win the AFC South and become the No 3 seed.Houston easily handled Jacksonville 20-3 Sunday as Deshaun Watson threw for 234 yards and ran for a touchdown, and DeAndre Hopkins had 147 yards receiving.The Texans finished last in the division in 2017. They and the Bears have done the worst-to-first turnaround this season, making it 15 of the past 16 seasons that has occurred in the league.“It’s do or die now, so you’ve got to put everything on the line now,” Watson said. “Prepare harder than you did before and anything can happen at this point. The tournament is wide open and it’s my first playoff, so I’m just excited to get in and see how things go.”New England, meanwhile, will get a week off in early January for the 13th time since 2001, most in the NFL during that span. The Patriots routed the Jets 38-3, and because they defeated Houston during the season, they get the bye.“Eleven and five is nothing to be sad about,” Tom Brady said. “We fought pretty hard and put ourselves in good position.”
