The Eagles hear your concerns about the (lack of) offensive style points in their wild-card win over the Packers. Guess what? To borrow a phrase used by several players inside the victorious postgame locker room at Lincoln Financial Field, they “don’t give a f—.” And while the offense had its struggles against Green Bay, the defense was once again dominant, a sign Jeff McLane considers auspicious for the Eagles’ Super Bowl chances. Listen to his insights from the Eagles’ postseason opener, and analysis of the team’s rematch with the LA Rams.
Plus, breakout rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean talks about growing up in a tiny midwest town, only to get to know WNBA star Caitlin Clark, and free-agents-to-be Milton Williams and Zack Baun about the excitement of the present, and uncertainty of their respective futures. Listen here.
