Quick Summary

Matt Ehalt, a sports editor for the New York Post, predicts that the Philadelphia Eagles will defeat the Tennessee Titans by seven points in Week 2 of the NFL season. Ehalt bases his prediction on the poor performance of Cam Ward and the Tennessee offensive line against the Jets, expecting them to struggle further against the superior defensive line of the Eagles. Additionally, he notes concerns with the Titans’ defense, which failed to stop the Jets' running back Breece Hall, and anticipates difficulty in containing Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts from the Eagles.

Story summary

The Eagles defeated the Titans in an NFL Week 2 matchup at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, on Sunday, September 20. The game ended with a final score of 24-20, as Jalen Hurts led the Eagles to victory by throwing a touchdown pass to Darius Cooper with just 9 seconds left. Despite Philadelphia's star running back Saquon Barkley being limited due to injury, Hurts completed 26 of his passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. The Titans' defense struggled against Hurts and the Eagles' rushing attack, led by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts himself who also contributed significantly as a runner and passer. Philadelphia improved to an undefeated start at 2-0, while Tennessee fell to 0-2 after their second consecutive loss following last week's defeat against the Jets.

🔮 We know Daniel Jones will be under center.
🔮 Wisconsin police have released bodycam footage from Packers star Josh Jacobs’ May arrest on multiple charges of domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation and intimidation of a victim.
🔮 At least three women contacted the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department in Wisconsin alleging physical abuse from Packers running back Josh Jacobs following the May 23 incident with his then-girlfriend that led to his arrest three days later, according to a redacted report from the department.
🔮 That Murphy said that team was “playing for yourself” is certainly an interesting wrinkle, especially since he would not have first-hand knowledge, and his comments in totality add to the notion that some in baseball do not view the Yankees in the highest standing.
🔮 The 2004 ALCS swung on a stolen base in Game 4 and if the Rays are going to join that Red Sox team in MLB history, perhaps it will be a caught stealing that swings the series.
🔮 “Daniel was part of the Port Adelaide football family, and he always will be, Port Adelaide chief executive Matthew Richardson said in a statement. “A sudden passing like this is devastating and our thoughts are with everyone who loved him, and with the teammates, coaches and staff who shared the journey with him here at Alberton.
🔮 The center certainly could enjoy the night and the interactions after he secured the upper hand, at least for one night, after he helped drop his former team to 0-2.
🔮 Malik Muhammad may want to use a sick day when the Bears have their video review of Thursday’s win over the Patriots.
🔮 I’m excited for this next chapter and the future memories that will come with that.”
🔮 The NFL ruled that the Eagles handled Jalen Hurts’ developing medical situation involving blood clots “appropriately” that ended his season and will not punish the team, according to The Athletic.
