The Philadelphia Eagles have won their last two games and look to make it three in a row on Sunday in Cincinnati against the Joe Burrow-led Bengals. Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts must continue to play well; In the last two games, Hurts has thrown three Touchdowns and has zero turnovers with a passer rating of 123.7.
The Bengals defensive stats are deceptive because they played half the season without a healthy team. The last two weeks when the Defensive Line finally got healthy, they are allowing just 10.5 Points per game against. Saquon Barkley is coming off a monster game, giving offensive coordinator Kellen Moore plenty of options on Sunday.
The Locker Room with Billy Schweim will be broadcasting Live from LaScala’s Beach House for our Eagles pregame show. Joining us at LaScala’s this Sunday is none other than former Eagles wide receiver Vince Papale. The movie “Invincible” showcased the story about Vince’s pursuit to become a Philadelphia Eagle, played by Mark Wahlberg. It's a story of struggle and perseverance, a true Philadelphia underdog story. We are so excited to have Vince with us for our Eagles pregame show. Plus Vince will sign autographs from 11:30am to 12:30am.
The Flyers lost their sixth game in a row despite the play of Russian rookie sensation Matvei Mickkov who leads the team in scoring with four goals and three assists in seven games.
