Brady has been diagnosed with a dislocated hip, and he will miss an estimated eight weeks. Romo was diagnosed with a broken collarbone, and he will be forced to sit out an estimated seven weeks.

Eagles Will Look to Extend Win Streak to Four in Oakland

Eagles Will Look to Extend Win Streak to Four in Oakland

Eagles Will Look to Extend Win Streak to Four in Oakland

JaMarcus Russell played very well last week against Washington.

After three straight home games, the Philadelphia Eagles, who are 3-1, will be traveling to the opposite side of the country to square off against the inexperienced Oakland Raiders, who are standing at 3-2.

Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell is coming off of the best game of his career, in which he threw for 243 yards and three touchdowns, earning him player of the week honors. If Russell can keep his composure while being constantly blitzed by the Eagles' defense, the Raiders have a chance of hanging with Philadelphia.

Oakland's running back Darren McFadden will need a big game as well to take pressure off of Russell behind center. If the Raiders can balance the production of both Russell and McFadden we could have a good game ahead of us.​

 

[mfbmike]

Raiders can't ground these Eagles son. Make it 4 straight!

 

[LC AAU]

Great shit already. Keep it up .

Recap:

The 3-2 Oakland Raiders, coming off of a victory at the hands of the Washington Redskins, hosted the 3-1 Philadelphia Eagles. Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell was coming off a career game, but the Eagles' defense limited him to just 122 passing yards. The Raiders did have a successful running game with Darren McFadden running for 121 yards, but it was outmatched by the Eagles run attack, which had both Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy putting up huge numbers. The Eagles controlled the game until the fourth quarter when quarterback Donovan McNabb, who had played quite well, was shaken up and was forced to sit out for the rest of the game. Backup quarterback Kevin Kolb was put in and Kolb threw two key interceptions. The Raiders looked ready to make a winning drive until safety Quintin Demps forced Darren McFadden to fumble, sealing the victory for Philadelphia.

Eagles Face Tough Division Matchup

Eagles Face Tough Division Matchup

Eagles Face Tough Division Matchup

Both Clinton Portis and Jason Campbell have looked good this season.

The 4-1 Philadelphia Eagles, riding on a four game win streak, will be traveling to the FedEx Forum to face off against the division rival Washington Redskins, who stand at 4-2.

The Redskins have multiple weapons on offense, including their star running back Clinton Portis, wide receiver Santana Moss, tight end Chris Cooley, and quarterback Jason Campbell. However Campbell has been known to make bad decisions and the Eagles lead the entire NFL in interceptions.

If the Eagles' defense continues to play well the Redskins should be containable. Philadelphia should come away with a win this week.​

Recap:

Donovan McNabb was absolutely spectacular tonight, throwing 26-32 for 250 yards and two touchdowns. The Redskins didn't have an answer for McNabb's aerial attack, which opened up the run game for the Eagles too. Philadelphia's defense also forced two turnovers, with interceptions by cornerback Asante Samuel and linebacker Akeem Jordan. The defense was also able to limit Washington's star running back Clinton Portis to just 32 yards on ten carries. The Eagles played well all around and earned bragging rights by defeating their rivals. This victory will make it five straight for Philadelphia. They will look to extend the streak to six next week against the New York Giants.

Michael Vick will see action against the New York Giants.

Quarterback Michael Vick has been named eligible to play for the remainder of the season after completing his six game suspension.

Vick will take Kevin Kolb's spot as the second-string quarterback behind Donovan McNabb, who has looked good this season, throwing for 1,501 yards and 12 touchdowns.

The addition of Vick has resulted into the release of quarterback A.J. Feeley from the Eagles' squad.

Vick will be seeing game action on Sunday against the 4-3 New York Giants.​

Ahmad Bradshaw bolsters the Giants' running game.

The 5-1 Philadelphia Eagles will be returning home to Lincoln Financial Field to face off against the 4-3 New York Giants. This rivalry will have a fresh new face participating in it, with quarterback Michael Vick playing this weekend for the Eagles.

Giants' quarterback Eli Manning has looked good so far this year, as has running back Brandon Jacobs. The Eagles' defense will really need to step up to contain New York's balanced offense.

Although the Giants are standing at 4-3 this year, they should still be considered one of the best teams in the league. The Eagles know that New York is a force to be reckoned with, so they had better bring their A-game.​

Recap:

The 4-3 New York Giants, led by quarterback Eli Manning, caught the 5-1 Philadelphia Eagles by surprise in today's game. New York's defense held Eagles' running back Brian Westbrook to just 38 yards on 16 attempts, and the defense also forced Eagles' quarterback Donovan McNabb to throw two interceptions. Michael Vick provided a spark for the Eagles in the fourth quarter, leading them on a short drive to the endzone. However, kicker Lawrence Tynes was able to hit a field goal towards the end of the game to bring the Giants victory.
