Eagles Momentum Trumps Sixers, Flyers Slide

Article Written by Billy Schweim

The Eagles recent success has been a blessing for the Sixers and Flyers.  As the losses are piling up for the 76ers and the Flyers are mired in mediocrity, the Eagles head to Los Angeles on the heels of a six game winning streak.


After a slow start, the Eagles now have the number one defense in fewest Total Yards allowed in NFL. The Rams are a good football team and are averaging 23.8 PPG in their last 5 games.  We will see how good our young secondary holds up against Rams Super Bowl winning Quarterback Matthew Stafford.  Stafford has probably

the best duo of receivers the Eagles defense will face so far this year.  The Birds have their work cut out for them on Sunday Night Football. 


The Sixers are not only in a free fall, the Sixers big man Joel Embiid was called out by Tyrese Maxey in a team-only meeting and he is not happy about the meeting being leaked to the media.  Is there trouble in paradise with the Sixers having their worst start to a season since 2016?


The Flyers have the luxury of staying under the radar because of the Eagles success and the Sixers in turmoil.  The Flyers have lost two straight after winning 3 of their previous four games.  Injuries to starting Goaltender Sam Ersson has been problematic for a team trying to find consistency on the ice.


There are only a couple of weeks left in the college football schedule and this week Army ( 9-0 ) will face the sixth-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish ( 9-1 ) at Yankee Stadium and you can hear the game on 97.3 FM ESPN Radio South Jersey at 7pm.  We will look into it all this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim. 


On Saturday’s show, Producer Nick Earnshaw will join me in the studio.  We will get started with the Eagles vs Rams on Sunday Night Football.  The Black Knights of the Hudson head south on the Palisades Parkway to take on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.  Army is undefeated and we will talk with Army podcaster from AS For Football Podcast Dan Head about this year's Army team. 


In Hour Two, it's time for Mr, Negadelphia P.J. Corda brought to you by Galloway Pool Service.  Mr, Negadelphia will give us his thoughts on the losing Sixers and Flyers.  Next up we will have our “ High School Athletes in the Spotlight” with Fran McLaughlin brought to you by Philly Pretzel Factory of Egg Harbor Township. 


On Sunday’s show, my Locker Room youth movement is back in studio.  Producer Danny Ryan and "The Intern” Andrew Leeds join me as we get you ready for the Eagles vs Rams and get the “Keys to the Game” with Fox 29 News Sports anchor Scott Grayson brought to you by Blitz’s Market of Ocean City.  In Hour Two, my Fantasy Football Guru Brian Hartley checks in brought to you by Charlie’s Bar & Restaurant in Somers Point.  The Guru will give us his picks for week 12 in the NFL.
