unCovering the Birds: Week 15 vs. Steelers
Jeff McLane breaks down how the Eagles’ recharged passing game fuels their Super Bowl run and chats with computer-building savant Josh Sweat in an exclusive “Pick Six” segment.
First came the bombshell revelation. Then, some backtracking and heart-to-hearts, followed by a few tears. In the end, there was reconciliation, capped by a most impressive win. All in a week’s work for the surging Philadelphia Eagles, which overcame internal tension stemming from Brandon Graham’s viral comments on WIP and a tough opponent in the Pittsburgh Steelers to earn a franchise-record 10th victory in a row. The Eagles now share the top record in the NFC, and look as much like a Super Bowl contender as any team in the NFL. What happened behind the scenes at NovaCare Complex last week? How did the Eagles manage to weather the media storm? The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reports on the saga that seemed to consume everyone outside the organization, but not many people within it.
Plus, veteran outside linebacker Josh Sweat joins Jeff for this week’s “Pick Six,” and shares his tips on computer building, leadership, and when to switch your number.
