00:00Washington losing, turns out that your Eagles had a great weekend.

00:05Absolutely.

00:06A great weekend after the Thursday night loss to the New York Giants

00:09because the Dallas Cowboys lost to Carolina.

00:12Washington, who could have been in a first-place tie with them record-wise,

00:16loses last night.

00:18So Philly kind of gets away with their back-to-back losses.

00:22They do.

00:22The last one being against the New York Giants.

00:24And now you've got the Minnesota Vikings coming up with Carson Wentz.

00:28So what could have been, all of a sudden, some pressure on Philadelphia

00:33because had the Commandos won, obviously they're 4-2 tied for first place.

00:38Had the Cowboys won, they'd be over .500 and a half game back for first place.

00:44And the Giants are feeling good about themselves.

00:46So what could have been a very interesting mid-to-late October, early November for Philly,

00:52it still might be, but Philly got a major break this weekend and last night

00:57with both Washington losing and the Dallas Cowboys losing.

01:01And now you've got to take advantage of it.

01:02Absolutely.

01:03Now you've got to go beat Minnesota and then take a little revenge

01:06against the New York Giants and Philly the following week.

01:09And then you could take a big sigh and a big deep breath.

01:13But it was this close.

01:14Because the Cowboys lost on the last kick.

01:17Last kick, yeah.

01:17Right to Carolina.

01:19Washington loses on the last play of the game, the kick.

01:21And because of the way they both kind of faltered late, different reasons, of course.

01:26Cowboys gave up 30 to Carolina.

01:28And, you know, Jake Daniels does something he's never going to do and just drops a snap.

01:32Also through interception in the game, what I'm starting to notice is

01:34Chicago doesn't make mistakes.

01:36And the same thing goes with Atlanta.

01:38It's looking like so far in the NFC, the cleaner football teams are the ones winning.

01:43Yeah, I think that's probably typically the case.

01:44But in the AFC, it's been a little bit more wild.

01:46AFC's all over the place right now.

01:47It's been a little wild.
