Cardinals beat Eagles 40-17 to clinch NFC West
This is the fifth season in a row the two teams meet in the regular season.

“The biggest disappointment is we didn’t tackle”, coach Chip Kelly said. It’s a culture that has allowed the Cardinals to make bets on a bunch of afterthoughts, castoffs and fading stars and meld them into one of the most feared teams in professional football.
Kelly’s team, well, they are not.
Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians, left, meets with quarterback Carson Palmer after an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015, in Philadelphia. Since 2008 teams that win the turnover margin win 78.6% of the time, and team that have a three plus turnover margin win 93% of the time! On the 14-yard run that helped him eclipse 100 yards for the first time in his career, he suffered a right-knee injury. Arizona ranks first in the NFL in total offense and second in the league in scoring.
Meanwhile, a two-game winning streak is all this inconsistent Eagles team seems capable of mustering this season.
But a 12th win eluded them. “But I think everybody is aware of what’s at stake and how this thing is going to shake itself out at this point in time”.
The Eagles sure played like the game last night didn’t mean anything. The top offensive performer was Jordan Matthews, who finished with eight catches for 159 yards and a touchdown.
Will Eagles release DeMarco Murray?
Kelly was later asked why he would sign Murray if he’s only going to be a rotational running back.
By making Johnson the focal point of their offense Sunday night, the Cardinals affirmed he isn’t just a running back who can carry them to a division title.
“I expected us to run the ball better”, Kelly said.
Despite the loss, the Eagles’ play-off fate remains in their own hands and they can clinch the NFC East title if they beat Washington at home and the Giants on the road in their final two games. Break out the party balloons. It is clear to me DeMarco Murray is 90% gone from Philadelphia come seasons end and one play on Sunday Night stuck out to me on why this is the case. Saturday night, will be the most important game in the Chip Kelly ERA, it will have that playoff feel to it which should make for a good game between two division rivals. The Cardinals clinched their first NFC West championship since 2009 in historic fashion. But hey, you have to be in the postseason to at least have a shot. He thinks ‘I’m 63 years old, this is my last gig.
The first came with a promising drive having gained Arizona territory.
“Everybody is frustrated after the way we played”, quarterback Sam Bradford said. Then Ryan Mathews fumbled away another blossoming drive that was close to breaching the 50.
Cardinals’ Safety, Deone Bucannon would intercept a Bradford pass and would take it to the house for a TD and the Cardinals would lead 37-10 early in the fourth.
Speaking of drafts, Arizona receiver John Brown was picked five spots after the Eagles took Josh Huff, also in 2014. Much like 2013, the trailing end of the season the Cardinals may have lost Tyrann Mathieu for an extended period of time. Its receivers were believed to be the main threat to the Birds.
Cardinals’ Running Back, David Johnson scores a Touchdown! He logged 187 yards and three scores on 29 carries, adding four grabs for 42 yards more. He has 12 touchdowns this season.

He may find the answers to be stark and not to his liking, because, from here, it just looks like the Cardinals are a product of shrewd drafting and better coaching.
