The Eagles (10-1) and Titans (7-4) are set for a physical, Sunday afternoon matchup that’ll involve two division leaders, hurt feelings, and explosive offenses.
Philadelphia counters with Jalen Hurts, Miles Sanders, DeVonta Smith, and A.J. Brown, who’ll be at the center of some trash talk and disdain after a blockbuster draft night trade.
Tennessee with counter the Birds at the quarterback position with Ryan Tannehill, the NFL’s top rusher in Derrick Henry, and the wide receiver drafted to replace A.J. Brown, Treylon Burks.
With so many plots and storylines here’s what the Eagles are saying ahead of Week 13.

Dallas Goedert
The Eagles’ star tight end hinted at returning in Week 15 when he comes off IR.
Dallas Goedert said he has a small fracture of the glenoid bone in his shoulder. Needs that to heal up before returning. Sounds optimistic he’ll be able to play Week 15 when eligible. https://t.co/JDCKjw2lyZ

A.J. Brown
Brown is aware of the disdain that Titans fans have for him.
A.J. Brown, with a grin, told us after the Eagles game on Sunday night of Titans fans:
"Oh they hate me. Part of it is my fault. I mean some people still love me, but I think the majority of their fans are out to get me. it's a part of it though."
