00:00What a Sunday afternoon into the early evening hours in Baltimore, a battle of the birds

00:09and the marquee matchup on the Sunday slate.

00:11The Eagles pay a visit to the charm city, direct implications for both of these teams

00:17in terms of their playoff standings in either conference.

00:21Of course, Philadelphia in the NFC East and the NFC as a whole, the Ravens try to keep

00:26pace with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North and that AFC wildcard chase.

00:32Yesterday, DRS in Baltimore, the Eagles make a statement, eight consecutive wins now for

00:39Philadelphia, 24 to 19, outlasting Baltimore in Baltimore.

00:46And that final score a little bit closer really than it felt like because of a late Ravens

00:51touchdown that did make it a single possession game, but not much would come of it.

00:56We'll talk about Justin Tucker and how he's aging maybe just a tad.

01:00The most consistent and efficient kicker in the history of the NFL has been anything but

01:05this season, but Philadelphia, eight straight wins, winning outright as a three point road

01:12underdog in the charm city, total of 50 and a hook stays well under.

01:17It's very interesting to me that you can go into Baltimore and be more physical than the

01:21Baltimore Ravens.

01:22The Philadelphia Eagles yesterday were exactly that.

01:24You might look at those final statistics, Derek Henry, 19 for 82 yards, 4.3 yards per

01:28carry.

01:29You'll take that on volume.

01:30That's probably over a hundred yards and at least one touchdown.

01:33Most weeks here, you take a look at Lamar Jackson, eight carries for 79 yards.

01:36And as you pointed out, a late 39 yard run with multiple holding penalties at the rest

01:40just didn't feel like calling that padded those stats, which included a late touchdown

01:44to end that game.

01:45The final score was not indicative of how well the Eagles played.

01:47And also, as I talked about to start the show, adapting to change for the Eagles.

01:52Yes, they have high flying wide receivers and exciting quarterback that can put the

01:55ball up in the air.

01:56When you realize you have a dominant force, a top three offensive line in football and

02:01the best overall running back in football, use that to your advantage.

02:04And how about this, Ben?

02:05They're down nine to nothing to start that game.

02:07Even myself, like, you know what?

02:08I'm going to have to go walk around the neighborhood with the dog here just to try to get the good

02:12vibes up.

02:13Go out, have my phone.

02:14They scored a touchdown.

02:15Come back.

02:16All right.

02:17Now let's settle in because a lot of times you'd say, ah, an AFC game.

02:19We already have the NFC East probably wrapped up at this point.

02:22No big deal.

02:23We just didn't have it in Baltimore.

02:24Let's play Carolina next week.

02:25And they fought all the way back, which after the bye week or into the bye week, fire Nick

02:29Sirianni, terrible head football coach, rallied that team around them.

02:33Eight straight wins.

02:34Now look like the best team in football.

02:35And I'm so impressed to say it's not based on really the offense outside of Saquon Barkley.

02:40The defense with Vic Fanjo.

02:41And I know you love him as well, Ben.

02:43The fact that I got a laugh out of last year where he went to Miami, he was supposed to

02:47be with the Eagles, but they took too long making decisions based on a Super Bowl run.

02:51And the Miami Dolphins were so happy to get this guy out of the building as if that made

02:55a difference for the positive where they're in shambles in Miami and the Eagles had the

02:59best defense in football after being an absolute embarrassment last year.

03:04The coaching staff, A plus across the board right now in Philadelphia.
