The Philadelphia Eagles are 14-3 after beating the New York Giants!
2nd time in franchise history the Eagles have actually won 14 routine season video games … with the very first coming all the method back in 2022.
Time to give out some winners, losers, and IDKs.
THE RESTED
The Eagles had the ability to rest their beginners in this video game. The Green Bay Packers played their beginners in Week 18 … and a few of them got banged up at the same time.
The Eagles likewise relatively prevented injuries in this video game.
Presuming Jalen Hurts gets cleared to return from his concussion, Philly’s active lineup must be quite healthy for the Wild Card round.
TANNER MCKEE
Goal Tanner McKee has actually never ever lost a video game as an NFL beginning quarterback.
He’s up to 4 profession goal passes and absolutely no interceptions tossed.
McKee is precise and poised. He tosses with anticipation. Been enjoyable to view.
At least, McKee looks prepared to be QB2. I anticipate he’ll stay QB3 the rest of this season if/when Kenny Pickett is healthy enough to play.
It stays to be seen how the Eagles will manage their backup QB scenario this offseason. The sensation here is that they ought to trade Pickett, who’s going into the last year of his novice agreement (fifth-year alternative regardless of), for whatever they can get and ride with McKee as Hurts’ leading backup. McKee might bring more in an offer, specifically considering that he’s got 2 years of low-cost group control left. McKee is worth keeping. He can ball. Which much has actually appeared because he made his preseason launching in 2023.
DALLAS GOEDERT
Goedert looks healthy. He captured 4 of his 6 targets for 55 backyards in an effort to knock off some rust.
We’ll see if the Eagles can rely on him to remain healthy … however having him back beats the options.
JAHAN DOTSON
Dotson set brand-new highs in targets (11 ), receptions (7 ), and getting backyards (94) on Sunday. His previous highs in those classifications, respectively: 4, 2, and 36.
Dotson clearly gained from A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith not playing. He didn’t get anywhere close to this kind of production when those guys both missed out on playing time previously in the season.
Nobody is arguing the Eagles must unexpectedly make Dotson a centerpiece of the offense. He ought to most likely be more involved than practically never ever at all. It would be good if Hurts and the training personnel might discover a method to effectively include him. It’s plainly not like he simply can’t play.
WILL SHIPLEY
The Eagles’ novice running back took 10 brings for 32 backyards. Not the sexiest stat line for a running back however consider he was far more effective than Kenny Gainwell, who had 11 brings lead to simply 14 lawns.
Shipley looked harmful as a pass-catcher,
