Eagles stifle Cardinals, advance to 5-0

The joke was the division was the NFC Least not the NFC East.

Times have changed, quickly.

The Philadelphia Eagles downed the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in the desert, 20-17, to remain the league’s only undefeated team.

In Week 6, the Eagles will welcome the Dallas Cowboys, who come in at 4-1 tied for second place with the New York Giants.

Least? How about NFC Beasts?

The Eagles were once again led by Jalen Hurts, who was 26-of-36 passing for 239 yards. He also rushed for 61 of the Birds’ 139 yards and scored both their touchdowns.

The Eagles have everything working. With kicker Jake Elliott out due to injury, Cameron “The Kicker” Dicker was signed.

All the former Texas star did was connect on a pair of field goals, including one with 1:45 left that provided the winning margin.

The Dicker field goal came at the end of a time-consuming, 17-play drive. All it did was eat up 7:58 of the final quarter.

Sunday Night Football on Oct 16 at the Linc: Dallas at Philadelphia. Bring plenty of popcorn.
