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.
