The Philadelphia Eagles only recently snapped their three-game losing streak which had cast doubts on the team’s chances of making it to the playoffs. Now as they take on the Arizona Cardinals on December 31, can they succeed in establishing a two-game winning streak, before the final game of the regular season on January 7?

Currently, the game is in its fourth quarter at 35-31. And even though, the answer appears to be inclining away from the Eagles, the WR Julio Jones displays his skills on the field. On the other side, in Baltimore, the Dolphins are up against the Ravens and the WR Tyreek Hill appears to have made a redemption.

David Furones, a Miami Dolphins beat reporter, took to X to share a video of a catch by #10. This, he described as, “Just an incredible pitch and catch on fourth-and-5 from Tua to Tyreek Hill.” In the video, with four minutes left for the first half to end, the Dolphins were 4th and five at the 46-yard line.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw the ball towards Tyreek Hill, who caught the ball near the 20-yard line before stepping out-of-bounds. Jason Sanders, a few plays later, converted into a field goal. This comes as a relief to the WR who had made a crucial mistake a few drives earlier.

I am a hardcore believer in the ?Mamba Mentality?, which certainly applies to the NFL. The sport is not just about physical prowess but also demands a powerful mindset. Growing up, I spent time with athletes on the neighborhood soccer field.
