Crunching the numbers, some glaring differences emerge from the debacle under Andy Reid in 2012 to the transformation the Eagles have taken under Kelly.
Halfway into the season, Eagles were sitting at 3-5 and appeared dead in the water. Kelly saw this team pull together even tighter.
Chip Kelly couldn't have been more clear, the day after the Eagles beat the Cowboys to win the NFC East.
With a spot in the postseason on the line on the road, the Eagles shined under pressure. It was not a great overall performance, but in a de facto playoff game nothing should have been easy.
Here's the complete wrap up of a wild and crazy week 17.
The Eagles won the NFC East Division by escaping Dallas with a 24-22 victory Sunday night.
The Eagles (9-6) need a win or tie over the Cowboys (8-7) to clinch their first division title since 2010 and secure the No. 3 seed. The loser goes home.
Nick Foles and Kyle Orton were backup quarterbacks when the season began. On Sunday night in Dallas, they'll line up under center as starters with the NFC East Championship at stake.
Who would have predicted 54-11, Eagles, at the start of that game last Sunday?
The WIP Morning Show was on vacation Friday, but 94WIP's Howard Eskin filled in and gave his Winners and Weasels for the week of December 27th, 2013.
I always believed a bad season would bring out the best in Kelly's sarcasm, but as it turns out, wins are doing the trick. If we can get a combination of Eagles wins, and Chip sarcastically berating media questions for a decade, I'm all in.
Nick Foles doesn't irritate easily. He's a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of a guy, with a searing competitive streak lying just beneath his placid veneer. In other words, on game days, Foles wants to surgically rip your throat out with a smile.
The Philadelphia Eagles have come a long way since the previous time they played Dallas.
They said his offense wouldn't work in the NFL. They said the Eagles were destined for a last place finish in the NFC East. They said he would be just another college coach in over his head in the NFL, waiting to get back to coaching on Saturdays as soon as possible. They said Nick Foles couldn't be a good fit for his coaching style. Maybe everyone was wrong about Chip Kelly.
Whether it's Tony Romo or Kyle Orton under center for the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles are approaching Sunday's game the same.
Through it all, through those sloping gorges, the Eagles survived—and it seems—even thrived from those situations. It's been that ability to rebound from adversity that's been one of the stubborn staples in the success story of the 2013 Eagles.
Chip Kelly received an impromptu visit from Santa Claus, an early Christmas wish to beat the Dallas Cowboys and the Eagles coach also spoke about the upcoming challenge of facing Tony Romo this Sunday for the NFC East title during his day-after press conference at the NovaCare Complex.
Yes, that is 94WIP's Howard Eskin dressed as Santa Claus.
It looks like the Phillies are having some second thoughts about spending money.
Since he was hired in January to coach the Philadelphia Eagles, Chip Kelly has done what can do to bond with Philadelphia fans. From visiting Wing Bowl, to Sunday night's "we're from Philadelphia, we fight," quote after the win over the Vikings.
Win or lose, Chip Kelly has earned our trust.
The Eagles got things right, Kelly made sure of that, in a thoroughly dominating 54-11 victory over the Bears.
CB Brandon Boykin, who was knocked out of the Minnesota game with a head injury, and S Earl Wolff, who missed the last four games with a knee injury, were listed as probable against the Bears.
This could be quite an offensive showdown. Nick Foles, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson vs. Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery.
On Sunday the Eagles were thrown a nasty curve ball in the form of a 48-30 loss on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. Will this Eagles team be able to adjust or will the Eagles go down swinging in the final two games of the season? With a division title within sight, with the Eagles owning a one-game lead on the Dallas Cowboys, the Eagles must bounce back to maintain the unfamiliar role of favorite.
