Philadelphia Eagles have 2 players make PFF’s 2021 Third-Quarter All-Pro Team

We’re almost at the end of the 2021 NFL regular season and with the Eagles on their bye week, Pro Football Focus recently unveiled its third-quarter all-pro team.

Even with Philadelphia currently at 6-7 on the season, the Birds still had two players make the list, with Jason Kelce making the second team and Darius Slay logging first-team honors.

Second Team: Jason Kelce, Philadelphia Eagles
Jason Kelce keeps playing at an extremely high level, flashing absurd athleticism for the position that allows him to make some blocks in the run game other centers couldn’t dream of. He has allowed 15 pressures in 13 games.

FLEX-D DARIUS SLAY, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Big Play Slay lived up to his nickname over the past month of play, getting in the end zone on both an interception and a fumble return for the Eagles. Slay has allowed just a 71.2 passer rating and is a threat to score any time he gets his hands on the ball.

Chiefs rookie center Creed Humphrey was the first team center, and Tom Brady was the first-team quarterback.

Cowboys News: Goodwin’s Steelers connection, team’s best QB/WR pairings

The latest edition of Cowboys news and notes, including potential top 5 draft options, rookie standouts, a free agency review, and more.

The Dallas Cowboys are entering their Week 10 bye with just a 2-7 record. There comes a time in every team’s season where they need to sit back and strategically analyze every decision they have to make from here on out. Our own K.D. Drummond did just that for Dallas, and he brings you 10 things the Cowboys should change when they return from the bye. Barring a miraculous turnaround, Dallas will be picking rather high in the 2021 NFL Draft; read who draft guru Dane Brugler thinks the Cowboys could target.

Despite the team record, there are a number of positive takeaways Cowboys fans can have from the first half of the season. Their most recent draft class is living up to the hype, with Trevon Diggs, CeeDee Lamb, Neville Gallimore, and Tyler Biadasz all looking like future building blocks for this Dallas roster. Plus, the Cowboys two best players, Zack Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence, are playing their way into potential All-Pro seasons again.

This edition of News and Notes, though, starts with a fantastic profile piece on special teams ace C.J. Goodwin. The star of the Cowboys’ punt return trickery last week against Pittsburgh might not be in the NFL at all if it weren’t for a job shoveling cow manure… and the extra attention shown by a Steelers icon.
