All the complaining about Jalen Hurts missing wide-open receivers, running too much, and his lack of overall passing precision will be moot this Sunday. Jalen Hurts suffered a concussion last week against the Commanders and Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni said on Friday that it will be "tough" for Hurts to play in this
Sunday’s game against the Cowboys.
The Birds are touchdown favorites at most sportsbooks against "The Cowgirls" but without their starting QB this game is no guarantee. The Cowboys have won four of their last five games and it’s always tough to beat a divisional opponent twice during the season.
The "good news" for this Sunday’s game that has been Flexed to a 1 pm start time is the Dallas Cowboys has ruled out their star Wide Receiver CeeDee Lamb. The Cowboys top offensive weapon has an AC Joint Injury and is the key to their offensive success this year.
The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day and looked pretty good doing it. The Sixers starting five were all in the lineup and played like the team every Sixers fan expected to see this year. Overall, the Sixers have now won 7 of 10 games in December.
The Flyers hit the road for their annual late December road trip for five games. On Saturday they return to the ice for the first time since December 23rd to play the Ducks at 4 pm in Anaheim. The Flyers are 15-16-4 in the first 35 games this season.
We will cover all the hot topics this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim.
On Saturday’s show, Producer Nick Earnshaw and former Kansas City Chiefs Wide Receiver Dave Klemic join me in the studio. The Eagles, Sixers and Flyers will be discussed during the first hour of the show.
In Hour Two, we will hear from Mr. Negadelphia P.J. Corda on the state of Philly Sports brought to you by Galloway Pool Service. At the bottom of the hour, Fran Mclaughlin will have his “High School Athletes in the spotlight” brought to you by the Philly Pretzel Factory of Egg Harbor Township.
On Sunday’s show, Producer Danny Ryan joins me in the studio for our Eagles pregame show. Every Sunday we get the “Keys to the Game” with Fox 29 News Sports Anchor Scott Grayson brought to you by Blitz’s Market of Ocean City. In Hour Two, my Fantasy Football Guru Brian Hartley checks in with his picks for week 17 in the NFL brought to you by Charlie’s Bar of Somers Point.
