Philadelphia has a very talented team, but Miami is playing better at this point in the season.

In reality it’s a bunch of sprints, except for teams with no chance to reach the playoffs, in which case it’s a marathon.
Miami is 3-5 overall and 3-5 against the spread while Philadelphia is now 4-4 straight up and 4-4 at the betting window after winning and covering last Sunday night in Dallas as a 3-point favorite. But the Eagles kept him around.
“When we were struggling early, everybody thought it was going to come around, Kelce said”. “We kind of had the sense that the game was over after that”.
“It was just a miscommunication between me and Miles”, said Sanchez, who was rolling to his left on the play and saw Austin sprinting just beyond the goal line.
Sanchez replaced Foles in that game and led the Eagles to a 31-21 victory.
The good fortune came in the form of a deflected touchdown catch by receiver Jarvis Landry on which the ball bounced high in the air before Landry came down with it and later threw it about 20 rows into the stands in celebration. While this is not all Ndamukong Suh’s fault, the big free-agent signing has not done much.
But there are holes throughout the depth chart. The Dolphins got one field goal the rest of the afternoon in a 33-17 defeat that smacked of quitting.
Rookie Andrew Franks kicked two field goals to complete the Dolphins scoring. It’s the first such trifecta in an National Football League game.
The Giants, on the other hand, face the second-toughest slate, but that includes this week’s game against New England.
As ESPN noted, this was the latest in a long line on injuries for Bradford and all-too-familiar territory for the Philadelphia Eagles, who have a history of losing quarterbacks to injury. Bradford seems more comfortable in his first season in a new offense, and Matthews has overcome the drops that plagued him the first seven games. Bradford is better as the game goes on.
Philadelphia Eagles’ Sam Bradford heads to the locker room after an injury during the second half of an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins, Sunday, November 15, 2015, in Philadelphia. It was the eighth 100-yard game of his career. He isn’t a quarterback who can start slinging it when they fall behind considerably, so his passing game needs to really be in the short to intermediate range. “They run the ball well”. The only thing they can worry about is what they can control, and what they can control is their attitude and their effort.
According to the NFL Data Science Project, the Eagles now have a 45 percent chance at making the playoffs, which closely mirrors their chances at winning the division (43 percent).
“I think everyone wanted to make last week’s game the turning point or whatever”, Kelly said. “We here hoping he’d just take a peak, if you don’t have it, because they’re in coverage”. “I was trying to anticipate where he was going and it didn’t pan out very well”.
The Dolphins were expected to be a contender in the AFC East this year, but those dreams came to a screeching halt.
“And if we win this week we’ll have a two-game win streak, yeah”.

“The coaching staff stuck by me”, Sturgis said.
