12 Days of Christmas with a twist: Some Philadelphia Eagles holiday cheer

9 guys like Sanders

Here’s what’s been funny. All people do sometimes is talk about Carson Wentz, but all they talk about is the same three or four things (now that they’ve stopped talking about whether or not he can complete an entire season and stay healthy).

Should Philly have hung on to Nick Foles longer? Does Carson Wentz have the support of his teammates on offense? Does he have a clutch gene? Can he win big games with him at the helm and should he be traded? That just about covers everything, right?

In spite of the injuries, limitations of many of his coaches, and question marks, ’11’ has put his team in a pretty nice position. They have a shot at winning the NFC East. Much of the reason for that is Miles Sanders has stepped up in the absence of others.

Some say if Philly was healthy, they’d be in better shape. Maybe what they should say is if they had nine more guys with Sanders’ heart, they’d never lose again.
