The NFC East is like a gritty alt-country song that’s too upsetting to be entirely believable. Sunday alone was a tour de force of significant missed officiating calls, rudderless blowouts, and yes, the wayward quarterback who has bounced from mask-less adult entertainment escapade to redemptive opportunity to sitting on the bench behind a man named Taylor Heinicke. The NFL should take a page from Jason Isbell’s book and eliminate the overkill. Subtlety is king (and so is Isbell).
With the Eagles’ loss officially eliminating them from contention, we are one merciless weekend away from crowning the most anticipated (by their opening-round opponent) divisional champion in recent memory.
