In tiny little Harrisburg, NC, today, I met a guy that told me is family has had season @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social tickets since 1935. Amazing the people you meet when you say, "Go birds."

The NFC North sent 3 teams totaling 40 wins to the playoffs. They went 0-3 with an average defeat of 15 points. That might have been a giant fraud of a division

Did not have been greeted in a Jacksonville parking lot by a large and clearly way-too-comfortable-around-humans raccoon on my holiday bingo card but here we are.

What doesn't matter at all?

Sunday's loss.

It's over. Can't change it.

What does matter?

The playoffs start in 3 weeks at The Line.

Eagles win 9th straight game
Ties for longest win streak in team history
Clinch playoff berth
Saquon sets team rushing record and has a shot at NFL record
Three-quarters of fan base is miserable afterwards
Most Philly thing ever.
