PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The Eagles will go for their fourth consecutive win on Sunday when they host Jacksonville at 4:05 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Jaguars' head coach is an old friend, former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson. He spoke earlier this week about playing in Philly.
"Fans are great," he said.
"We won a championship there, and we still got a lot of close, close friends, family friends, so that place is always going to be, you know, one of the spots for me, you know, that enjoyed going back to."
The Jags are only 2-6. They're dealing with injuries and traded away their starting left tackle earlier in the week. But the Eagles are not taking Jacksonville for granted. Jalen Hurts still has a lot of praise for their defense.
"They're very sticky in coverage, very tight in coverage, so we'll have to go out there and take advantage of trying one-on-ones."
Today is also one of the two Kelly green games of the season, where the Birds will be wearing the throwback uniforms.
The Sixers lost last night to the Memphis Grizzlies 124-107 at the Wells Fargo Center. Still no word on when stars Joel Embiid and Paul George will return.
The Flyers were shutout by the Boston Bruins yesterday afternoon 3-0.
And Penn State losses to Ohio State for the 8th straight time. Final score from Happy Valley 20-13
