Meanwhile, the Eagles didn’t score an offensive touchdown this game, which marks the first time in 95 regular-season games.  more »

There’s a bunch of notable receivers switching teams this year: not only Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill, but also A.J. Brown and Hollywood Brown. History shows with these kind of prospects that there are way more misses than hits.  more »
