There hasn’t been any positive news for the Eagles in the past 11 weeks. The team is 2-8 since the bye week and Carson Wentz has lost his game that everyone compared to Peyton Manning. So, who has been the biggest surprise this season? It is Wentz’s top target of late, tight end Trey Burton.

Among the arising issues for the Eagles are continued penalties. The Eagles have accounted for several unnecessary penalties this season and it has been a trend for weeks on end.

The Eagles and Ravens have split their last two meetings, giving the Eagles a 2-1-1 record in the four overall match-ups. The round five contest looks to be between two teams that could be heading in opposite directions as the 2016 season is winding down.

Last Sunday, Fletcher Cox played his best game in months with 1.5 sacks, four total tackles and several knockdowns of Kirk Cousins. In Week 13 against the Bengals, a lack of effort from several players was a concern. Cox was one of the names getting attention. He responded in a huge way last week.

The Eagles will use these final three games to evaluate their roster and these three players could find themselves unemployed or on a different team before next season.

The current statistics don’t tell the entire story with Carson Wentz. Yes, the rookie quarterback has had his expected ups and down this season. But in last Sunday’s game against the Redskins, he put together one of his best performances of the season. The great effort didn’t equate in a win, but it should remind doubters that the North Dakota State product remains the franchise quarterback for years to come.

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.

Philadelphia Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair an injured wrist.

The Eagles lost another close game yesterday, but one thing was apparent: Carson Wentz is on his way to being one hell of a quarterback.

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.

The Eagles took a one-point lead in the middle of the fourth quarter, but a late touchdown by the Redskins put them on top inside the two-minute warning. The Eagles managed to get the ball deep into Washington territory, but a sack and fumble on Carson Wentz created the turnover that ended the game, with the Eagles dropping their fourth straight, 27-22, to the Redskins at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

Usually when a team has been struggling, a team leader speaks out on the current state of the locker room. In the Philadelphia Eagles locker room we hear…crickets chirping.

The Eagles and Redskins played in one of the most eventful games in not just the history of their long standing rivalry, but maybe even one of the most eventful games in the history of the NFL. The game went down under the bright lights of Monday Night Football at Veterans Stadium back in November of 1990 in the matchup known as the “Body Bag Game.”

Last Sunday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles will look to sign impending free agent DeSean Jackson in the offseason. It makes sense. The team is in desperate need of wide receiver help. However, a reunion with the speedy wide receiver, who was drafted by the Eagles in 2008, isn’t the answer.

The Eagles got embarrassed by the Bengals on Sunday afternoon and it looks like the team quit on us once again. Did they? Also, Carson Wentz had his worst game of the season and everything is falling apart. All that and more on this episode of the K-Lot Podcast.

At one point this season, the Eagles were playing defense at a near elite level. The dominating defensive performances against the Steelers, Vikings and Falcons, in particular, seem like it was many months ago. After three straight underwhelming efforts from the unit, the decline can be described as dramatic.

Doug Pederson’s first season as the Eagles head coach is rapidly becoming too much like Andy Reid’s last with the team four seasons ago in 2012.

The Eagles are playing really bad football. Sadly, they don’t see it that way.

The Eagles turned in their worst game of the season on Sunday in Cincinnati, falling to the Bengals, 32-14, and dropping to 5-7 on the season. It’s another frustrating loss, the Eagles third in a row, only this time, there was no silver lining, no bright spots. Here are this week’s grades.

The Eagles got blown out early and could never recover in their loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Eagles are being shut out by the Bengals after 30 minutes of bad football.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Sunday morning that the Eagles are likely to pursue DeSean Jackson this offseason.

The first of the final five games on the 2016 season comes in Cincinnati as the Bengals await a matchup with the Eagles in Week 13. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Five games remain in the Eagles season, and for many of the players on this team, it is about playing for jobs next season. This week, the Eagles get a battered Cincinnati Bengals team that has disappointed this season with just a 3-7-1 record. Here are this week’s six players to watch in our Sunday Six Pack.

The Packers entered the game with a four game losing streak and the Philadelphia Eagles headed into the game on Monday night with a loss to the Seahawks looming over their heads. The loss to Green Bay has slimmed the Eagles playoff chances a major amount, as they have a record of 5-6 and are in last place in the NFC East.

The Eagles history against the Bengals, particularly in Cincinnati, is not pretty. In 12 meetings, the Eagles have just three wins against the Bengals, none coming in Cincinnati.
