“EAGLES FLY-EAGLES SOAR”
=========

It was not an artistic success.
It was more of a slugfest.
It wasn’t any 500-yard offensive day
It was take what I can get till I wear you out

But the whole nation saw the Philadelphia Eagles arrive as a srue NFC-power, washing away an ugly start to the season.

The Eagles owned the second half against a young Washington QB-Jayden Daniels in grinding out a (26-16) win, impressive because they owned the last two quarters despite being sidetracked for an entire half.

The guys wearing Green survived 3-missed kicks, 2-missed field goals.  The Eagles got stronger and stronger as the night wore on then Saquon Barkey wore out the Commanders defense with 2-huge TD runs, 23-and-39 yards.

But the game was alot closer than the scoreboard showed.  Daniels did not get rattled till late, making one errant throw for a pick.  Washington spread the field, threw to running back Austin Eckler alot, and hung in their till the final 10-minutes.

But the Eagles legacy players, led by it’s defensive front, took over the game in the second half, and Barkey did the rest enroute to an impressive (146Y) rushing night.

Dan Quinn’s Washington defense stood in here and slugged into the 4th quarter, making life hard for Philly QB-Jalen Hurts, but in the end, just too much experience, too much toughness, too much Mean Green defense for Washington to overcome.

It was not pretty, but it was a Philly win.  And a salute to Washington for playing really hard but wilting at the end.

Philadelphia looks like the Beast in the NFC-East and with the Lions established their rep for Motown Mayhem, you suddenly have two very strong looking teams in the NFC heading down the playoff stretch.

It was like old time NFL football.  Toughness-grit-big hits-big tackles-big time field position game too.

Eagles fly-Eagles soar-Eagles slugged it out in a Thursday win.
