NFL

 

The Philadelphia Eagles lost their first place standing in the Eastern Conference with a record of eleven wins and 5 losses. The team doesn’t look as good as they did when the season first began. Both defense and offense are struggling and the team injuries are a constant worry. Jalen appears to have lost running and passing confidence, however in spite of all those setbacks the Eagles have to recharge and regain their confidence, and play like they have been and will be Division Champs. As quoted by DaVonte Smith, “The team is not playing good football right now”. The team clinched a playoff berth, but the struggle is real!!  On Sunday, the Eagles lost to the Cardinals, and it appears that Smith sustained an injury.  We need to play better as a team an win this next game.

LET’S GO EAGLES!!!!

The Philadelphia 76’ers are in third place in the Eastern Conference with a record of twenty- two wins and ten losses. Embiid has suffered a sprained ankle and has missed the last four games. The team is trying to build up momentum and consistency approaching midseason. Philly is long overdue for a championship.
