Jalen Hurts’ desperation heave was intercepted to seal the Eagles' fourth loss this month and one that meant so much more. Once in their grasp, the Eagles now need help from — yikes, Washington — to win a second straight division title. The team that opened December 9-1 and looked like a favorite to return to the Super Bowl unraveled Sunday with a 35-31 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and now faces the grim reality of opening the playoffs on the road.

Don Henley's vocal performance on the Eagles classic Desperado is widely considered one of the great performances of the rock era, but he does not agree.

The 2023 Texas high school season was a wild one. Here are some of the best moments from Fort Worth-area football teams.

Jalen Hurts understood the optics that come with the Eagles looking defeated and on edge after a win that pushed them to the cusp of an NFC East title. Coach Nick Sirianni bickered with players. Hurts had the kind of private conversations with teammates at their lockers usually not seen in public unless Philadelphia loses.

EAGLES PLAYER TO WATCH: WR A.J. Brown caught six passes for 80 yards in the win over the Giants, but appeared visibly frustrated throughout the game and then refused to speak to reporters afterward. Brown ranks fifth in the NFL with 101 receptions and third with 1,394 receiving yards, but something appears off and speculation of what exactly is wrong persists in Philadelphia. KEY MATCHUP: Kyler Murray vs. Jalen Hurts.

The Fraternal Order of Eagles offered a free Christmas dinner to Waynesburg residents as a way to spread holiday cheer on Sunday.

The Chiefs (9-6) have now lost five of eight and will likely have to play their first road playoff game with Mahomes if they even survived the wild-card round. An offense that has sputtered throughout the season couldn't do much against the Raiders and was unable to overcome the costly mistakes. I thought defense played a good game, just two mistakes that gave them two touchdowns there when you're backed up in their red zone so you just can't do that,” Mahomes said.

A season that started with high expectations, visions of an explosive offense and a dominant defense and hopes of another trip to the playoffs has ended for the New York Giants. The Giants (5-10) were eliminated from the postseason with their 33-25 loss at Philadelphia. New York's 2-8 start certainly didn't help, even though undrafted free agent quarterback Tommy DeVito gave to the team a flicker of hope by leading it on a late three-game winning streak.

Nick Sirianni yelled and gestured at linebacker Haason Reddick, and the Eagles coach even had some words for wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who had caught a 36-yard touchdown. Because the Eagles nearly coughed up a 17-point halftime lead against a lowly Giants team that benched their quarterback at halftime and because Philadelphia again played an undisciplined, sloppy game that showed it's far from an elite team.

The holiday season has arrived and for football fans, it really is the most wonderful time of the year.
