His last set up Philadelphia’s game deciding field goal with less than a minute left.

Can’t get enough of Campus Sports? Their season, too, can’t end any quicker.
Derek Carr, much like the Eagles’ Carson Wentz, was a legitimate MVP candidate.
The loss dropped the Raiders to a disappointing 6-9 record, with just one game remaining on the schedule.
“Potential is kind of just that vomit word”, right tackle Marshall Newhouse said, “because it just doesn’t matter if it doesn’t come together”. Sure, they’ve not lost yet with Nick Foles at the helm, but as they head toward the NFL Playoffs, no one feels as confident in them as they did before. Downing was promoted from quarterbacks coach after former offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave was sacked in January.
Also for the Seahawks, former West Virginia defensive lineman Noble Nwachukwu was signed to the team’s practice squad last Tuesday.
The Eagles received good performances from multiple players. And a third. One interception.
The Philadelphia Eagles squeezed by the Oakland Raiders on Monday night 19-10, effectively clinching the top overall playoff spot in the NFC and home-field advantage on through to Super Bowl LII. How were the Eagles supposed to win in the postseason with the defense playing like that?
Clearly, Del Rio wants Carr to throw it down the field there.
“Everyone should feel sick right now”.
“It’s not a good feeling”, Carr said. It’s not about how many 300-yard games you can have, it’s about Nick Foles putting his team in position to win.
Safety Reggie Nelson was the latest Raider to come up with a big interception after Foles threw a pass to tight end Zach Ertz that went through his hands. He had four TD passes and no picks against NY. The Raiders were rolling, looking at a third-and-four, when they mismanaged the time and were hit with a delay-of-game penalty.
And when it comes to defensive end Khalil Mack and outside linebacker Bruce Irvin, the Raiders had just 68 total pressures from edge defenders under Norton – 25th in the National Football League – to 46 pressures, tied for second, under Pagano. Blount hasn’t been lighting up the stat sheet in any regard, but that doesn’t even matter as much as continually making Ajayi, the ex-Miami Dolphins Pro Bowler, the focal point of this revamped post-Wentz offense. “The offense didn’t play as well as they have been, the defense had to step up”.
“We played great team ball”, cornerback Patrick Robinson said. I know his record in taking care of the ball is historically good but still, that seems like a high price. Philadelphia has its first 13-win season since 2003 and can get the franchise’s first-ever 14-win season by beating the Cowboys (8-7) next week.
“It’ll probably be Wednesday before I make a final decision on who play (against Dallas)”.
Philadelphia pulled out a seesawing victory to clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC and home-field advantage through the playoffs, but it was never pretty.

“We have to pick up for each other”, Darby said. “Not gonna get it done”. “You work hard, go out and compete when you get your opportunity”.
