The Eagles offense was finally looking pretty good, and was spreading the ball around well, but then before halftime against the Vikings, we learned that Cam Jurgens was questionable to return due to a knee injury.

Not all exits are made equal. We see it time and again; veteran players losing a step, or veteran coaches watching the game pass them by. The more graceful among them transition easily into other roles, refusing to chase the limelight that had so effortlessly followed them in their prime. Vince Carter, for example, easily […]
The Rams beat down the Jaguars across the pond in a game that was never close. They inch closer to the 49ers, who hope the Cardinals drop a game to the Packers later this afternoon. We’ll have to wait until Monday to see if the Seahawks drop a game. This morning doesn’t have any marquee […]
