How does Tyronn Lue feel about Allen Iverson and the iconic stepover 25 seasons later?
"To me it wasn't a big deal until Doug Collins went crazy on air... 3 years after that, we (Lue, Iverson) were probably still mad at each other, but after that, we became really good friends.”

Crush Adoree’ Jackson if you want. He hasn’t been good this year.
He just stopped Amon-Ra St. Brown on 4th & Goal (with the help of an excellent pass rush)

The tush push doesn’t define the Eagles offense (and never has).

Did Adoree’ Jackson get beat on the touchdown?
Yes, but Reed Blankenship also got caught in overpursuit as a safety when the worst defensive starter was trying to cover Jameson Williams

It’s funny how when they’re under pressure, NFL replay assist makes the decision in time.
When the offense doesn’t hurry to the line, everyone’s comfortable taking their sweet ass time on a boring replay with 100 angles measuring every milimeter

Beside from the offense grabbing the headlines, Vic Fangio’s D looks like they’ve regrouped after the bye.
They look like they’re on a similar track — with a better pass rush — that they took in the second half of 2024

It was good to see Jalen Carter and Moro Ojomo get their hands up to disrupt passing lanes against the Packers when they knew they weren’t getting home.
