The annual trip to MetLife Stadium takes place a little earlier this year, as the Eagles look to right the ship against the NFC East against the New York Giants. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Six players to watch in Sunday’s Eagles-Giants matchup.

The one area that wasn’t a problem for the Flyers last season has been a huge problem this season, and it’s costing the Flyers points in the standings as the team is on a scoring high.

Carey Price, who has been the rock driving the Montreal Canadiens hot start, allowed four goals to the Flyers on Saturday night. Somehow, it wasn’t enough. The Canadiens used a miscue by Michal Neuvirth and a shorthanded goal later in the period to get the margin necessary to win in a 5-4 Flyers loss at Bell Centre.

The Flyers have managed to salvage slow starts into a solid week with an overtime win over the Red Wings on Wednesday and a shootout win over the Islanders on Thursday. The week ends with another meeting in Montreal against the red hot Canadiens, who just suffered their first regulation loss on Friday in a 10-0 shellacking.

Eagles wide receiver Josh Huff was reportedly arrested on Tuesday morning on the Walt Whitman bridge for speeding while in possession of marijuana and a gun.

Here’s the reality. The Eagles lack of experience and lack of weapons is starting to catch up with them. Three losses — all within one score — are not the result of overall poor play. They are the result of not making the necessary plays with the game on the line, losing the little battles.

Up by 10 in the first quarter, the Eagles looked like they were on their way to an important win against a division rival. The Cowboys had other ideas. Dallas stormed back, tied the game and won in overtime, 29-23, bringing the Eagles record to 4-3 on the season. Here are this week’s grades.

The Cowboys ran 12 plays in overtime, capped by Dak Prescott’s five-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten as the Cowboys erased the deficit to take a 29-23 win over the Eagles on Sunday night in Dallas.

The NFC East lead is on the line as the 4-2 Eagles face the 5-1 Cowboys. Dallas is fresh off a bye week, while the Eagles have more tests to come on their schedule. Here are six players to watch in Eagles-Cowboys.

The Flyers defense is off to a painfully horrendous start, having now allowed 35 goals in nine games. Part of the problem has been goaltending. But when you allow easy goals to the likes of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, well, goaltending is not really your problem on that night.

Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby accounted for four goals, with Malkin’s second serving as the game-winner as the Penguins held off the Flyers for a 5-4 win on Saturday night.

The rivalry returns as the Flyers prepare to close out a three-game homestand by taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.

The Flyers allowed three goals in the third period in a 5-4 loss to the Coyotes, allowed the first goal for the seventh straight game and really never recovered from yet another slow start. Slow starts and poor defensive play are starting to do the Flyers in, and the schedule only gets harder from here.

Two Arizona goals in 1:39 did the Flyers in as Arizona scored three times in a sloppy game overall for the Flyers and held on for a 5-4 win on Thursday night.

After three straight games against Eastern Conference opponents, the Flyers wrap up the season series against a Western Conference team early. The Arizona Coyotes are in town on a night when the Flyers will pay tribute to the members of their Hall of Fame.

When you have a history as rich as the Flyers over 50 years, you recognize the legends of that history. The Flyers have done so for 25 players with enshrinement in the Flyers Hall of Fame, starting with the inaugural class in 1988.

Travis Konecny’s first NHL goal sparked a roaring comeback for the Flyers, who used three power-play goals in the third to rally back against the Sabres before taking the win in a shootout.

Three goals in the third period helped the Flyers even the score and earn one point. They managed to get the second one as well with a shootout win over the Sabres, 4-3, on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center.

Brendan Gallagher’s deflection gave Montreal the lead with 6:52 to play and that was enough for Carey Price and the Canadiens, who defeated the Flyers, 3-1, on Monday night.

A grueling week of hockey begins for the Flyers, as they begin a stretch of five games in seven days. The first is Monday night, as they take on the Montreal Canadiens.

Claiming a 21-10 win over the Vikings was a step back in the right direction for the Eagles, who got much better performances across the board. Here are this week’s grades.

After the Eagles win over the Vikings, head coach Doug Pederson praised the defense for the bounce-back game, particularly the defensive line, which attacked the ball and former Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford.

The Eagles overcame a slow start for the offense as a resounding performance by the defense helped them claim a comfortable 21-10 win over the Vikings at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

It doesn’t get any easier for the Eagles as the undefeated Minnesota Vikings pay a visit to Philadelphia and a familiar face returns.

Sam Bradford, who was traded by the Eagles eight days before the season opener, makes his return as the starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings, who come into Sunday’s game undefeated. Here are six players to watch in Sunday’s Eagles-Vikings game.

Saturday’s game was a much-needed bounce-back game from a host of players as the Flyers handled their first Eastern Conference opponent and picked up their first home win of the season.

The Flyers got two timely goals to even things up, and struck two more times in the second. They would add two goals in the third as well to come away with a 6-3 win over the Hurricanes on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center.
