The Eagles found a spark in the fourth quarter to notch a big win over the 49ers and move into first place of the NFC East.

The Philadelphia Eagles are perilously thin at wide receiver, with Greg Ward currently the only healthy option at the position on the roster.

QB Josh McCown, 41, is the oldest practice squad player in NFL history and likely will never step foot in the Eagles’ practice facility this season.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson had said that he was asymptomatic for the coronavirus when he was sent home to quarantine last week.

The Eagles selected Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts in the second round, but incumbent starter Carson Wentz said he doesn’t feel threatened by the move.

Pete Retzlaff, a tight end who played for the Eagles from 1956-66 and retired as the franchise’s all-time leader in catches and yards, has died.

Doug Pederson previously had said offensive coordinator Mike Groh and wide receivers coach Carson Walch would remain on staff.

For the Eagles, many veterans could be moving on, and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz might not return in 2020, either.

The Eagles have waited four seasons for Carson Wentz to play in a game like this. Now he’ll finally get his chance in Week 16 showdown vs. Cowboys.

The Philadelphia Eagles rallied from two touchdowns down to defeat the Eli Manning-led New York Giants and move into a tie for first in the NFC East.
