Could this be the best overall Philadelphia Eagles team in history? We have two players with 10 rushing TDs or more; a receiver with over one thousand receiving yards and 10 TDs; a defensive player with 10 sacks; and a safety that leads the entire League in interceptions. We have a quarterback, Jalen Hurts, an MVP front-runner, who became the first QB in NFL history to rush for at least 10 touchdowns in consecutive seasons. The Philadelphia Eagles continue to soar! 12-1: The Eagles clinched a playoff berth by crushing the New York Giants 48 – 22. The last time the Eagles clinched a playoff spot as early as Week 14, they won the Super Bowl! That would be Super Bowl LII in 2018, where the underdog team with the backup quarterback, Nick Foles, pulled off a once-in-a-generation win, toppling Tom Brady and the Patriots 4133. 13-1: The Eagles ascend to the doorstep of the NFC East title and the firstround bye. Hurts, at 24 years old, is the youngest quarterback in NFL history to lead a team to a 13-1 start. With 22-of-37 passing for 315 yards and three rushing touchdowns against the Chicago Bears, he propelled the team toward a 13th win in 14 games – a feat that the franchise has only achieved once before, when the 2004 team went to Super Bowl XXXIX against the defending champion, the New England Patriots. While the Eagles fell 24-21, this season was considered the franchise’s most successful in the modern era until their Super Bowl LII-winning 2017 season! “Hurts … Good Enough” … A 2216 victory over the Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. The goal accomplished, an NFC East division title and the top seed through the playoffs!

ARMY VS NAVY

The only game where everyone playing is willing to die for everyone watching …

Army beats Navy 20-17 in the first overtime game in Army-Navy HISTORY!

The game was the first to go to overtime in the over 100-year history of the series. There were seven ties before the NCAA instituted overtime in college football in 1996.

The 2022 rivalry was the 90th time the game was played in Philadelphia, including 38 straight times from 1945 to 1982. The series is hitting the road starting with next season’s game and returning to Philadelphia in 2027. PHILLIES PHANS PHOREVER!

The 2022 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 140th season in the history of the franchise, and the 19th season for the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. They are the oldest continuous same-name, same-city franchise in all of American professional sports. RED OCTOBER The Phillies clinched their first playoff berth since the 2011 season and defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card Series. They upset the Atlanta Braves in the Division Series in four games and advanced to the NLCS for the first time since 2010. They defeated the San Diego Padres in five games to advance to the World Series, their first World Series appearance since 2009. However, their run would end at the hands of the Houston Astros, who defeated the Phillies in six games. The Swing of His Life - Game 5 NLCS When the Phillies clinched a World Series berth with a 4-3 win over the San Diego Padres … thanks to a Bryce Harper tworun homer in the bottom of the eighth inning that will live on in Philly sports history forever!

It is a tradition quite literally unlike any other … Philadelphia fans climbing, or attempting to climb up greased light
