At the time the NHL takes its annual break for the holidays on Saturday, it will have been six weeks since Michal Neuvirth suffered a lower-body injury that has sidelined him since. Prior to the Flyers game following the Nov. 12 injury, three goalies suddenly received an opportunity and they all had to run with it. So far, each one has.

The NFL announced the Pro Bowl rosters on Tuesday. Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox and offensive lineman Jason Peters are the two players that will participate in the Pro Bowl, set for Jan. 29 in Orlando.

On their way to nine losses, the Eagles suffered defeats by margins of one point twice, five points twice, six points, seven points, 11 points, 14 points and 18 points. In the box score, these are close losses. And in reality, these are close losses. But don’t look at them with a sense that the Eagles are close.

It’s a game that will be defined by the last play more than anything, a failed two-point conversion for the win for the Eagles, but there were a lot of layers to this game. Here are this week’s grades in our report card.

Carson Wentz led the Eagles on a potential game-tying drive that had them down one facing a two-point conversion. But the conversion failed, sending the Eagles to their fifth straight loss to the Ravens, 27-26, at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday.

Four straight losses have the Eagles season continuing in a downward spiral, but the end is near with three games left on the season. The Eagles have a particularly busy week this week, starting on Sunday with their final road matchup of the season against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Flyers current nine-game win streak has the just two points out of the top spot in the Metropolitan Division, an impressive run considering their 3-5-1 start to the season. But as the Flyers have gone streaking, so has the rest of the division and that shows just what a fine line there is between the Flyers ranking among the playoff teams in the East and being completely out of the picture.

All three of the Eagles most glaring needs were on full display on Sunday. They still lack weapons at wide receiver. They still don’t have a shutdown cornerback and desperately need players at the position. And most of all, they lacked depth on the offensive line.

The Eagles signed cornerback Dwayne Gratz and long-snapper Rick Lovato to join the team for Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens. To make room on the roster, they placed three players on season-ending injured reserve: Jon Dorenbos, Matt Tobin and Wendell Smallwood.

The game was very much there for the taking and it was an improved effort, but for the fourth game in a row and the fourth time this season against an NFC East opponent, the Eagles were left looking for answers. Here are this week’s grades in our report card.
