PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The party line around the Philadelphia Eagles is all about looking ahead. That's probably a good thing, because when they look back, the Eagles see two consecutive last-second losses. Most of the talk this week has centered on Sunday's game against Jacksonville (3-3), along with the Jaguars' swarming defense and strong-armed quarterback Byron Leftwich. But the Eagles have also been forced to relive and recount their stinging losses of the last two weeks at the hands - actually the feet - |

A first-round draft choice of the Los Angeles Rams, McKeever played from 1961-66 and 1971-72 with the Rams, in 1967 with the Minnesota Vikings, from 1968-70 with the Washington Redskins, and in 1973 with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was later a stock broker and insurance executive. McKeever's twin brother, Mike, also was a star at USC, playing left guard. Mike died Aug. 24, 1967 of head injuries sustained in an automobile accident after spending 22 months in a coma. He al |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The party line around the Philadelphia Eagles is all about looking ahead, and that's probably a good thing. Because when they look back, the Eagles have to realize they're liable to be dogged by consecutive last-second losses for a long time. Most of the talk this week has centered on Sunday's game against Jacksonville (3-3), along with the Jaguars' swarming defense and strong-armed quarterback Byron Leftwich.

Ronde had a career game last Sunday, returning two interceptions for touchdowns in an improbable 23-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, a win nailed down on a 62-yard field goal by former Giant Matt Bryant as time expired. During one of their telephone conversations this week, Ronde didn't hesitate to let Tiki know his two touchdowns are two more than Tiki has this season. ``My |

That's why Roy Williams believes that, once the defense gets back into shape, no one will be able to keep up with Martz's system. ``There's not a defense in this nation that can stop us,'' he said. ``You can take the Chicago Bears, or the Philadelphia Eagles or anyone you want. The only defense against us is us - we can only stop ourselves.'' Williams' first chance to back up those words will come Nov. 5, when the Lions host Atlanta. Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -A playoff-caliber team torn apart by injuries and turmoil sure sounds familiar around here. One year ago, the Philadelphia Eagles went from the Super Bowl to last place because Donovan McNabb and several other starters were hurt and Terrell Owens destroyed team chemistry. Now it's the Jacksonville Jaguars' turn to go from contenders to pretenders. A team that was 12-4 last season and opened this year with victories over Dallas and Pittsburgh is on the verge of a total breakdown. The sta |

The previously-struggling Matt Bryant delivered the kick of his life, a 62-yarder on the game's final play, to lift the Bucs to an improbable 23-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles and renewed hope after the team's disappointing 0-4 start. I'm sure most of the nearly 66,000 in attendance at Raymond James Stadium weren't truly expecting Bryant, who entered the day 2-for-5 on field-goal attempts for the season and had never made |

Meanwhile, Jones, the second-year-wide receiver, was tabbed as a starter before the season started, but has been a disappointment. He injured his groin against the Redskins on October 1 and has missed two games since then. Jones has just 13 catches for 157 yards this season.

| (MySportsbook) - Another valiant effort late in a road game fell short for the second straight week for the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost to Tampa Bay, 23-21. After defeating Terrell Owens and the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field in Week 5, the Eagles headed down to New Orleans and came out sluggish. Donovan McNabb pulled Philly back from the dead but later watched Saints kicker John Carney blast the game-winning field goal as time expired. It was deja-vu all over again for a few reasons on Sunday in T |
