Sub-radar Eagles who will exceed expectations during this playoff push
The Philadelphia Eagles need every man’s best effort down the stretch.
Can you believe that Jason Kelce was a full participant at practice on the Wednesday leading up to the Philadelphia Eagles‘ Week 15 game versus the Washington Football Team? Sure you can. It’s Jason Kelce for goodness sake. He’s redefined the term ‘tough son of a gun’.
For 11 NFL seasons, the guy that was supposed to be too small to play the center position has given this franchise more and more reasons to tip their caps in reverence of his greatness, and we mean that both figuratively and literally.
Perhaps you’ve heard. Winning out will, more than likely, earn the Eagles a spot in the postseason. That season finale versus the Dallas Cowboys needs to be circled. Depending on where Dallas is at that time, they may be resting their starters. If not, that may wind up being Philadelphia’s toughest challenge during this four-game stretch.
The Birds can’t look too far ahead though. The one game at a time approach is necessary. Step one is obviously the coming game versus Washington. If Kelce plays, and it appears that he might, that’s a huge plus. If Philly can get Jordan Howard, Miles Sanders, and maybe even Brandon Brooks back, those are also positives.
The Philadelphia Eagles need their best players to play at their highest level. They could also use some reserves and role players to step up. Here are three under-the-radar guys that you can expect to answer the call.
