An illness has been making its way through the Eagles roster and many responded with the same annoying joke upon hearing the news: blame Bill Belichick.
One Twitter user even dubbed it "Flugate."

— Kyle Morgan (@KyleHypest) February 1, 2018According to the Eagles' Thursday injury report, Tim Jernigan and Ronald Darby are battling the illness. Kenjon Barner and Mychal Kendricks missed some time with it last week.
"I'm getting over it right now. It's like a cold, dude. I don't know. The whole team has it, though," Kendricks said. "I don't think it had anything to do with us being out here. I think it started sometime last week. Something we've got to get through. We'll be fine. It's not that big of a deal."
Even Doug Peterson was sick before leaving for Minneapolis.
