Tight end Dallas Goedert expressed his excitement upon receiving the Angry Runs award, a creation of NFL Network's Kyle Brandt on the Good Morning Football show. The award was given to Goedert for his impressive 24-yard catch-and-run touchdown during the Eagles' recent 22-10 victory over Green Bay. During this play, he utilized three stiff arms against cornerback Carrington Valentine to reach the end zone.

Goedert attributed this achievement to the team's playing style, emphasizing their offensive line's role. "You look at our offensive line, it starts up there. Up front, always," he stated.

Wide receiver A.J. Brown is preparing for the upcoming NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams and is in regular contact with the athletic training staff about his condition. He expressed optimism about improving after a less-than-perfect performance against Green Bay.

Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged the strength of their upcoming opponents, the Los Angeles Rams, who have shown remarkable improvement throughout their season. "They're playing really good football," Sirianni noted.

Reflecting on a previous game against Los Angeles in November, quarterback Jalen Hurts highlighted areas for improvement despite a strong performance by Philadelphia's offense.

The Eagles have focused heavily on ball security and turnovers throughout their season. Since Week 8 of 2024, they boast a +21 turnover margin and scored significantly off takeaways during both regular and postseason games.
