Eagles’ All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts scored the winning touchdown on a quarterback draw with 2:37 left in overtime, and the Philadelphia Eagles moved to 10-1 on the season, defeating the Buffalo Bills 37-34 on a cold, rainy afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field.

Embiid had a triple double (30-11-11), while Tyrese Maxey had 36 points, and 8 assist as The Sixers defeated LeBron James and the Lakers, 138-94.

49ers’ Deebo Samuel says he doesn’t regret calling James Bradberry “trash” or any of the other disrespectful comments he made about the Eagles in the offseason

The time has finally arrived, and after an offseason spent talking trash back and forth, Philadelphia and San Francisco are set to square off in blockbuster Week 13 showdown at Lincoln Financial Field.

A rematch of the 2023 NFC Championship game, the 49ers will enter the contest 8-3 with Super Bowl aspirations and atop the NFC West after a Week 12 win over the Seahawks.

All-Pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel was at the center of the offseason trash talk, and he didn’t back down when asked about his comments on Monday.

If you were busy last offseason and this summer, Samuel made it clear that he is not a fan of the Eagles, and was looking forward to this matchup.

Samuel was held to 33 yards on three catches in San Francisco’s 31-7 loss to the eventual NFC Champions.

Most of the conversation afterward centered around the road team having no available quarterbacks after Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson were knocked out of the game with injuries.

Philadelphia appeared in the Super Bowl, while San Francisco spent the entire offseason lamenting what could have been.

Samuel was a guest on COMPLEX Sports with ZION OLOJEDE back in May, and he made the below comments about the Eagles, their luck and other things on his mind.
