DEC 31 PICK-6 FOR 99
The Eagles offense has in the first quarter combined with the defense to put Philly up 14-3 over Arizona.
Safety Sydney Brown picked off Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray at the Eagles’ 1-yard-line on a deep-ball throw and then weaved and sprinted his way for a 99-yard touchdown.
SYDNEY. FREAKING. BROWN.

And it looked something like that!
DEC 30 HURTS AND SAQUON FINED!
You don’t see this too often: Two stars in the same game both being handed big-time fines by the NFL for tackling … even though both guys play on offense!
That’s what’s happened with Jalen Hurts and with Saquon Barkley, each of whom has just been fined for the way they tackle.
The incidents happened in last week’s Philadelphia Eagles win over the New York Giants. There was Hurts with what the league says is a horsecollar tackle at the end of his pick-6 interception …

And not to be outdone, here is Saquon earning what the league says is unneccessary roughness for his play.
Another big running back fine: The NFL docked #Giants star Saquon Barkley $21,855 for unnecessary roughness on this play last week. The league has been cracking down all season on players lowering their heads to initiate contact.

Barkley got fined $21,855. Hurts got fined $16,391.
DEC 17 COWBOYS LOSE VS. BILLS
The Philadelphia Eagles will have a chance to reclaim first place in the NFC East on Monday Night Football after the Dallas Cowboys lost 31-10 to the Buffalo Bills.

Kickoff between the Eagles and Seahawks is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET.
DEC 16 EAGLES RULE OUT 3 VS SEATTLE

DEC 10 TRICKERY
The Philadelphia Eagles found themselves down in a 10-0 hole in the first half of Sunday’s meeting with the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. The Eagles needed a spark, but were forced to punt after going three-and-out to begin the second quarter. At least so it seemed. Eagles punter Braden Mann sold it well, waiting until the last moment before pulling out of his punting motion and tossing a 28-yard pass to receiver Olamide Zaccheaus on 4th and 2. The Eagles weren’t able to reach the end zone on the extended possession, but still got a 52-yard field goal out of it to make it a one-possession game at 10-3.
Mann, who played three seasons with the New York Jets, went 1 of 2 passing for 17 yards during the 2022 season in East Rutherford. Take a look at the play:

DEC 6 COACH MCCARTHY SURGERY
The Dallas Cowboys are suddenly shorthanded as coach Mike McCarthy has just been scheduled for surgery on Wednesday to deal with acute appendicitis.
He is expected to be in and out of the hospital today. … but that still could have an impact on “Sunday Night Football” with the 10-2 Philadelphia Eagles going to DFW to take on the 9-3 Cowboys.
For now? The Dallas coordinators Dan Quinn, Brian Schottenheimer and John Fassel will step up to oversee practice in McCarthy’s absence.
DEC 3 BIG DOM The Philadelphia Eagles are looking for anything to give them a spark as they trail the San Francisco 49ers in the second half of Sunday’s meeting at Lincoln Financial Field. But who would’ve expected that to come from Eagles senior advisor of security Dom DiSandro? After 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw threw Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith to the ground on the Philly sideline, Greenlaw started talking to DiSandro and poked him near the eye while pointing at him. Both Greenlaw and DiSandro were ejectedTake a look:
