Philadelphia greased light poles to stop fans from climbing

Foles, by the way, is far more competent than Pederson was and came make all the plays, as demonstrated in a 38-7 NFC title game win over Minnesota on Sunday. LeGarrette Blount led the charge to begin the year before Jay Ajayi joined the team in Week 9 and quickly added more power to the running game. They won’t be in it. Just coming up short, you could feel the pain, and you could also feel the passion of what this city wants.

After what feels like forever, we can finally say it: The Eagles are going to the Super Bowl.

“I’ve had a lot worse”, Brady said.

“Credit to Philadelphia, they got after us pretty good tonight, and we didn’t do enough good things”, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said (ESPN).

Sure did. After the Vikings (14-4) took a 7-0 lead on the game’s opening drive, it was all Philadelphia (15-3).

The Minnesota Vikings could not stop the Eagles, especially on third down.

Nick Foles has had his share of ups and downs over the past two months.

Many hoped for the same thing. “It was tough on everyone, not just us on the field”. Fans were hanging out of auto windows, drivers on Broad Street laid on their horns and many sported dog masks as a play on the Eagles repeatedly being called “underdogs” in the league.

So much so, offensive tackle Lane Johnson and defensive end Chris Long sported dog masks after the 15-10 win over Atlanta.

“The people here have been great”, said Keenum. After failing under Fisher (like Minnesota Vikings QB Case Keenum and Rams starter Jared Goff) Foles gets an opportunity to rewrite a lot that has been written and said about his professional career. I’m not going to try to convince you that Foles is a superstar in the making, but, the guy is making plays when it matters. They are team players. “Kept giving me support and encouragement”. “After my time with a certain National Football League team, I wanted to retire”.

The Associated Press also got in touch with Desai, who is a 42-year-old Eagles season ticket holder from suburban Philadelphia.

“I’m not going to grade anybody’s performance tonight”. When it starts crossing the line, I think that’s ridiculous.
