They now sit third in the jumbled NFC East, two games behind both the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. Philadelphia visits the Cowboys next week and ends with Washington at home on Jan. 1, and would need to win all three and get outside help to reach the postseason. The Eagles are also 1-5 at home this season. "We have a chance. [ |

Fifth-year pro James Jones (26 receptions, 5 TD) adds another deep threat to a Green Bay attack that's third in the NFL in total offense (404.2 ypg) and passing yards (304.6 ypg), |

| (MySportsbook) - Guess who just threw his hat in the ring for the NFL's single-season passing mark? Those who selected New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning should give themselves a pat on the back. Many weren't convinced when Manning said he deserved consideration as one of the top quarterbacks in the league this past offseason. Several skeptics argued his bold claim after Manning threw 25 interceptions and failed to lead the Giants to the postseason last year. What a 180-degree turnaround it has been fo |

Dallas could have entered this game with a division title already wrapped up in time for the holidays, but back-to-back close losses marred by fourth-quarter collapses have placed the Cowboys in a two-team deadlock with the New York Giants with three weeks remaining in the regular season. The most recent setback came against the Giants at Cowboys Stadium this past Sunday, with Dallas squandering a 12-point lead with under four minutes to play in a frustrating 37-34 defeat to its longt |

Murray suffered the injury in the first quarter of Sunday night's game against the New York Giants.
