in Week 3 of the NFL regular season While the Eagles were busy pulling off their first win under Carson Wentz this season Color Rush Nick Foles Jersey , former members of the Philadelphia team were doing some good things (Blount beating the Pats) and some surprising things (Mychal Kendricks playing lights out) throughout the league.Here’s how a bunch of former Eagles fared in Week 3 of the 2018 season:Blount beats the Patriots AGAINWhen running back LeGarrette Blount plays his former team, it’s personal. He said as much in his interviews since beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl, and it proved to be true on Sunday night, when the Detroit Lions — yes, the Detroit Lions — bested Tom Brady and Co. to the tune of 26-10.Blount had 16 carries for 48 yards, and two catches for another 17 yards, in his quest to push the Lions past the organization that wouldn’t give the rusher a new deal two years ago.It was also first-time head coach, and former New England Assistant, Matt Patricia’s first win.Patrick Robinson injuredThe Saints cornerback was carted off the field on Sunday with a left leg injury. He couldn’t put any weight on it after he went down, and initial tests called Robinson’s injury a high ankle sprain. That could be both and good and bad news http://www.authenticsphiladelphiaeagles.com/cheap-brandon-graham-jersey , in that he shouldn’t need to go on IR, but he could end up missing a couple weeks.Quick hitsLinebacker Najee Goode wasn’t too menacing when he faced his former team on Sunday, with the Eagles still coming out on top, and Goode nabbing just one tackle on the day.Wide receiver Torrey Smith made three catches in Carolina’s game against the Bengals on Sunday, good for 19 yards.Caleb Sturgis made one field goal on Sunday for the Chargers, and went 2-of-3 in point after attempts.Tight end Trey Burton had four catches for 55 yards for the Bears in Week 3.After going 13-for-19 and 157 yards, two TDs and two interceptions, on Sunday, Sam Bradford was benched for Cardinals’ rookie quarterback Josh Rosen. I’m just going to leave this here:Monday Night FootballSeveral former Eagles will take the field on Monday night, when the Pittsburgh Steelers face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Beau Allen http://www.authenticsphiladelphiaeagles.com/cheap-zach-ertz-jersey , Vinny Curry, DeSean Jackson). This is the last game of QB Jameis Winston’s suspension, and Ryan Fitzpatrick is making it very challenging for the coaching staff to hand the team back over to Winston.Roster moves and InactivesLinebacker Joe Walker was signed to the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad.Offensive tackle Matt Tobin was released by the San Francisco 49ers and running back Kenjon Barner was cut by the Patriots.LeSean McCoy missed the Bills game on Sunday due to a lingering rib injury that has kept him from running at 100%.Daryl Worley was out again in Week 3, and has one game left to serve in his four-game suspension.Play of the WeekMychal Kendricks is putting in work for Seattle as he faces possible jail time come the offseason, but for now, he’s making money and making the Seahawks look good, with six total tackles and a sack against the Cowboys in Week 3. Bleeding Green Nation already took some time to chat with Canal Street Chronicles in order to preview this week’s Philadelphia Eagles versus New Orleans Saints playoff matchup. (You can read that here.) Today, we’re back with three reasons why each team might lose. This format forces us to consider each team’s weaknesses, rather than just being homers.So, below are three reasons why the Saints could lose Youth Derek Barnett Jersey , as written by Canal Street Chronicles’s Chris Dunnells (@dunnellz). To see why I think the Eagles could lose, check out CSC.1. Drew Brees is sacked multiple timesDuring a run from Weeks 5-12 the Saints offense was firing on all cylinders at home. They scored 43 against Washington, 45 against the Rams, 48 against the Eagles, and 31 against the Falcons. During that time, the Saints had a healthy offensive line and Drew Brees was sacked a total of four times in the 8 weeks combined.Then from weeks 13-16 (four weeks), Drew Brees was sacked 7 times - almost double the number of sacks in half the time. This Saints offensive line missed Terron Armstead during a big chunk of that time, and it’s yet to be determined if Armstead will suit up against the Eagles in the divisional round. If he’s not able to go, the Saints offensive line will likely struggle against a talented Philadelphia front. If the Eagles can sack Drew multiple times in the game, it would be a good sign for the Eagles’ chances of winning.2. Michael Thomas is held to under 50 receiving yardsThe Saints have only lost three games this season Color Rush Destiny Vaeao Jersey , and one of those games was the Ryan FitzMagic Week 1 game where neither side decided to play defense. In the other two losses, Michael Thomas was held to 40 yards against the Cowboys and 29 yards against the Panthers. Thomas otherwise averaged roughly 90 yards per game in each of the Saints wins. If you focus in on Michael Thomas in the passing game and refuse to let him beat you, then you’ve gone a long way to stopping Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints offense.3. The Saints hold the ball for less than 28:00 minutesThe only other consistency in the Saints three losses is time of possession. Not turnover ratio, third down conversion rate, or any other situational statistic tells the tale quite like time of possession.In the Saints three losses - against Tampa Bay, Dallas, and Carolina - the Saints time of possession went like this: 27:51, 23:07, and 26:34. The next lowest would be the Saints Week 16 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers with 28:40 and the Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings with 28:37. In the vast majority of the Saints wins, they averaged well over 30 minutes in time of possession Color Rush Corey Graham Jersey , with some games - like the Week 10 game against the Cincinnati Bengals - approaching 40 minutes (39:46 vs Cincinnati, and 37:34 against the Eagles as a frame of reference).The Saints offense relies on long, sustained drives to tire opposing defenses. Contrary to years passed, this is not an offense that focuses on quick strikes and big plays. No, this Saints team would prefer to milk the clock with a balanced attack on the ground and in the air in order to win the game.
