ABOUT THE EAGLES (5-7): McCoy’s departure and the money saved in the transaction aided in Philadelphia acquiring quarterback Sam Bradford from St. Louis one week later, coach Chip Kelly confirmed on Thursday.

Now Bryant turns his attention to one final Christmas showcase, a stage that typically hasn’t gone well for him. Andre Roberson had his best game as a pro, recording 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists and four blocks.
The two teams then traded field goals to end the half, and the Eagles started the second half with a 14-play drive _ again with all three running backs carrying the ball _ to take a 20-10 lead with 9:42 left on Caleb Sturgis’ 41-yard field goal.
Vikings/Packers Officially Flexed To Sunday Night
If Seattle and Minnesota both lose, the Vikings would be the No. 5 seed and visit NFC East champ Washington (8-7). Here are the four possible scenarios, along with what each means for the Seahawks.
As officials left the field, the Bills staff, including coach Rex Ryan and defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman, stormed up the tunnel, yelling at Ed Hochuli’s crew.
Broncos to start Osweiler, Manning unlikely to play again
As for the idea of a quarterback controversy, Kubiak says his young starter is handling the outside distractions well. Only an injury or a complete collapse by Osweiler would get Manning back on the field at this point.
Bradford and the rest of the offense still have a long way to go.
During the week, McCoy had said quite emphatically that he would not interact with Chip Kelly.
McCoy ran off the field and didn’t shake anyone’s hands after the game. McCoy was out of things to say. “Obviously we’re still not great out there but I think this is what I envisioned when I got here as far as us winning”.
“A lot of it to me is tabloid journalism that they just tried to stir things up but it didn’t affect us”, Kelly said after the Eagles spoiled McCoy’s homecoming with a 23-20 win over Buffalo.
“To start the year the way we did and kind of dig ourselves in a hole, it was unlikely that we would be in this position this late in the year”, Bradford said. He has five touchdown passes and only one interception in his last four games.
One play after Taylor ran 14 yards on third-and-13, Mike Gillislee had a 19-yard TD run to tie it at 20-20. The win moves the Eagles to 6-7, keeping them tied with the Washington Redskins for first place in the NFC East. Let’s look at what was to like and not like in the win today.
The Eagles defense kept Shady contained for the majority of the second half, holding him out of the endzone.
The Eagles continued their unorthodox trek through the 2015 season on Sunday by notching perhaps the most emotionally meaningful win of the season against the Buffalo Bills.

That’s when Bradford hit Nelson Agholor for a 53-yard touchdown after he had gotten behind Buffalo safety Corey Graham. “So for a guy that’s playing his first year that’s pretty good”. “It’s tough in this league to drive 80 yards all the time, and that touchdown gave us a big lift and that really carried us through the game”. The Eagles’ time of 23.76 seconds per play when the game situation is “neutral”, which Football Outsiders defines as not dictated by the score or time remaining in the game, is more than 4 seconds faster than any other team.
