The Philadelphia Eagles are on an eight-game winning streak. Can they continue their winning ways on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers as the return to the Linc after 2 games on the road?
The Eagles have exceeded all expectations after a 2-2 start. The offensive line is dominating the line of scrimmage and Saquon Barkley is taking full advantage. The Eagles star Running Back is on pace to break the single-season rushing record which has stood for over 40 years.
The Defense under the tutelage of Defensive Coordinator Vic Fango is the number ranked defense in the NFL in Total Yards Allowed. The Eagles look to win their ninth game in a row and keep pace with the 12-1 Detroit Lions. This is the third straight year the Eagles have started a season with a 9-2 record. We will talk about the Eagles in depth this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim.
The Sixers are lucky that the Eagles are on fire and dominating the headlines. The 76ers have the second worst record in the Eastern Conference and Joel Embiid has barely played this season while Head Coach Nick Nurse has played numerous different lineup this season.
Meanwhile, the Flyers have won 8 of their last 13 games and two of their losses are in Shootouts. The Orange and Black are probably the second best Philadelphia Sports team but they are like Rodney Dangerfield: they get no respect!
