Studs and duds from the Eagles' Week 17 win over the Giants.
Chip Kelly talks about his second season as NFL coach during his Monday press conference.
Chip Kelly reflects on the Eagles' 10-6 season after his team's Week 17 win.
The Philadelphia Eagles closed out a second straight 10-win season under Chip Kelly with a road victory against the division rival New York Giants Sunday afternoon in MetLife Stadium, but the Birds head to the offseason a little earlier than expected. Now the evaluations for the season will begin, but first it is time for one final evaluation on a single-game basis for the Eagles.
The Eagles won their final game of 2014, 34-26 over the Giants.
The Eagles entered the half with a one point lead against the Giants.
The Eagles and Giants both prepare to finish their seasons at MetLife.
Two of the most tenured Philadelphia Eagles, one on each side of the ball, could be playing their final game for the team Sunday.
The Philadelphia Eagles expect to finish up the 2014 season on the road against the New York Giants with linebacker Trent Cole on the field. Quarterback Nick Foles, of course, will miss the final game of the season after having his second half of the season essentially wiped out by a broken collarbone.
Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez got opposite results with similar performances in a disappointing season.
The five Eagles selected were hoping to skip this year's NFL all-star game to play in the Super Bowl.
Three weeks ago it looked as though the Philadelphia Eagles were going to make a serious push for a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs while wearing the NFC East crown for a second straight season. Instead, the Eagles now enter the final week of the 2014 season with nothing but pride to play for, and head coach Chip Kelly intends to go all out in order to end the season with a win.
The Eagles have been eliminated from the playoffs and won't be playing in January—but five Eagles will be playing in January, offensive tackle Jason Peters, center Jason Kelce, running back LeSean McCoy, linebacker Connor Barwin and special teams threat Darren Sproles.
Eagles fans have been demanding changes in the secondary after watching opposing wide receivers burn the Birds with big plays. There is a possibility the fans may get their wish.
It's hard to say where exactly it began—this doubt about Chip Kelly—but it's easy to notice how amplified the doubters have become since the Eagles have lost three-straight games and will be watching January football.
