There will be a lot of new faces leading NFC East sidelines next season. Three of the four teams will feature new head coaches -- the only team that won't is the Philadelphia Eagles.
“It was a roller coaster the past 48 hours,” Jackson admitted. “... At the start of the game, it [the anxiety] went down." Literally, [Saturday] night going to sleep, all day in meetings, I was racing, I just couldn’t stay calm."
While discussing his offense and the quarterback's role in it, the Eagles' coach was asked about one of his core beliefs as a play caller, "let the offense work for you."
The Eagles took advantage of a banged-up Redskins team which was already missing its starting quarterback Alex Smith and frontline offensive guards Brandon Scherff and Shawn Lauvao.
While the Eagles were enjoying Thanksgiving dinner, Philip Rivers was carving up the Dallas Cowboys' secondary, a development that inched Philadelphia even closer to what is an inevitability, the NFC East crown.
The Washington Redskins made their biggest move yet of the offseason Tuesday night, adding three-time Pro Bowl receiver DeSean Jackson less than a week after the dynamic playmaker was released by the rival Philadelphia Eagles.
