Eagles versus Dolphins: Reasonable requests, bold expectations for Sunday Night Football
DeVonta Smith has his revenge game... for real this time...
Yes... Yes... We said this last week. Then, DeVonta Smith walked out onto the turf at MetLife Stadium and proceeded to have the worst game of his NFL career.
Maybe it was that issue he sometimes has with weird weather and wet footballs. Maybe the hamstring bothered him. Maybe it was some bad Friday the 13th mojo that got to the Eagles late. Maybe it was all of those things.
But three straight disappearances by DeVonta Smith? Nah... We can't see that.
DeVonta has a bounceback game in Week 7. For real this time...
A.J. Brown eclipses 125 yards receiving ... AGAIN.
After eclipsing 131 yards receiving in Week 6, A.J. Brown now stands in rare air. No Eagles receiver who has donned the kelly or midnight green jersey before him has ever exceeded 125 yards receiving in four straight games.
Mike Quick didn't do it. Neither did Harold Carmichael, DeSean Jackson. Irving Fryar, or Terrell Owens.
We're calling for another classic performance in this one. The Fins are a little banged up in their secondary. Tyreek Hill will lead all receivers in yards gained, but A.J.'s Birds will earn the win and have the last laugh.
Those are a couple of reasonable requests. How about some bold predictions?
