In what turned out to be the final game for a future Pro Football Hall of Famer, the 1960 NFL Championship Game between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles catapulted the National Football League into the 1960s.

Some warned Philly sports fans will destroy the city with batteries. Many people not from Philidelphia were left wondering what the connection is between batteries and Philly sports fans. Turns out, Philly sports fan actually did throw batteries onto a sports field in 1999.

Eagles fans expected to get O.J. The Eagles had planned a Christmas pageant for halftime of the December 15 game, but the condition of the field was too poor. Instead, the team asked a fan dressed as Santa Claus to run onto the field to celebrate with a group of cheerleaders.

At stake for the mighty 6-10 Giants was a home playoff game if the Eagles prevailed. For a while, it was looking good. Then, late in the game while trailing only 17-14, the Eagles took out starting quarterback Jalen Hurts and put in backup Nate Sudfeld.

Eagles committed no crime by losing Sunday night’s game. So let me see if I have this straight. The NFL can force the Denver Broncos, who had no quarterbacks available on its roster, to play in the middle of a raging coronavirus pandemic, essentially guaranteeing the New Orleans Saints a victory.

Doug Pederson Insists he Did not Lose on Purpose for Better Draft Pick. PHILADELPHIA – Doug Pederson went into Sunday night’s, early January game with a roster that resembled one you’d see in August, one lined with reserves, and the Eagles head coach coached like it was a summer exhibition.

The Eagles have been eliminated from playoff contention.

The Eagles are not expected to be among the seven NFC playoff teams in 2021, receiving +260 odds to make the playoffs, per our partner, PointsBet. Those odds rank last in the division and are tied for second-worst in the conference.

In a most unusual and disappointing season, the Eagles can still win the NFC East and get the first-round home game that comes with it. That’s the case even though the Eagles, at 4-9-1, are currently in last place in the division after their 33-26 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

The Eagles need to pass three teams in two weeks and that requires perfection. With their early-season tie against the Bengals, they cannot tie with another team or teams for the division lead.

After an up-and-down 6–9–1 campaign in 1997, the bottom fell out in 1998. The Eagles suffered a 3–13 record—the worst in franchise history. They were ranked dead last in numerous offensive statistics.
