Hi, once again, everybody, welcome to this freshest edition of Birds Weekly presented by the inside of the Birds Network.

0:16.4

From my man Ray Dendron, I'm Derek Gunn and Ray.

0:19.7

It was like the varsity playing the JV.

0:23.1

And when you think about it, the Eagles really needed a game of this ease.

0:30.5

When you consider every game except the second Giants game has been a nail biter, nip and tuck.

0:38.7

They have been, they have gone to the limits in every game but one.

0:44.9

It was nice to see them come out from the very first drive.

0:52.4

13 plays, 67 yards, touchdown. And from there, it was all academic.

0:59.5

1:46.1

And you keep a bad team in the game.

1:48.9

Just come out, grab it by the throat in the first series, and just stay on top of them the whole game.

1:54.6

And that's what the Eagles did.

1:56.4

As you said, they came out 13 play drive, right down the field, scored.

They get the ball back. They take it down the field score they get the ball back they
