Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman said it best last Tuesday after the NFL trade deadline came and went when he said, “You don’t win championships by trading away your best players.” He was refering his discontented wide-out A.J. Brown, but the philosophy goes across the board and Monday night’s 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers was a perfect example of what Howie was talking about with regards to his Philadelphia Eagles.

Under the Lambeau Moon
If you like to play the “under” then this game was right in your wheelhouse. A scoreless game at the half with neither team cracking the red zone, while both offenses combining for 68 yards passing. Nope, not a misprint and I haven’t had a drink yet. It really was a nothing-nothing tie game after 30 minutes.
The Birds held Green Bay to one possession in the third quarter and took a 3-0 lead in the final stanza.
Philly Stars Were Shining
With 12:46 Phily took the ball at their own 20 yard line and gained three yards on two Saquon Barkley runs. But two plays later the Eagles were in the end zone and why? Because the Birds have more stars than most of their opponents and it’s usually just a matter of time until they strike.
On third down Jalen Hurts checked a pass down to Barkley in the left flat and his prize running back did the rest, dialing up a ridiculous spin move on Green Bay’s Carrington Valentine on his way to a 40-yard gain all the way to the Packers 36 yard line. On the very next play Hurts hit Devonta Smith on a 36 yard corner-post route to give Philly a 10-0 lead with just over 10 minutes left in regulation. Two play, 77 yards, a two-score lead. Any questions?
