As the Eagles faced a massive blunder against the 49ers, Cowherd dusts away the naysayers by bringing up instances from Tom Brady's career.

Spotlight Turned to Tom Brady & Patrick Mahomes’ Humiliating Past to Destroy Recency Bias Against the Eagles

Recency Bias is a psychological phenomenon, implying the tendency to dwell on recent experiences when surmising future events. And the leading team of the NFC division is a victim of it, as per Colin Cowherd. On his show, Cowherd played his cards justifiably when he put forward the riveting fact. “This idea, recency bias, standalone big games that Philadelphia is no good is insane,” compelled Cowherd. With two losses and a ton of impressive games in week 14 of the NFL season, the Eagles [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/] are putting up a Super Bowl revenge-worthy performance. While they did face a minor setback when they lost their last game to the 49ers, it is not a thing to fuss over, as Cowherd believes “They had a bad weekend, it was that.” ‘The Herd’ host has his fair share of instances from the pages of history for it. TOM BRADY AND PATRICK MAHOMES AT COWHERD’S GUNPOINT As the Eagles are rehearsing the mishap to make an even stronger possibility of clinching a spot in the playoffs, Cowherd is bringing up instances to support their chances of standing in the Super Bowl. “What happened to Philadelphia has been happening for the last several years,” asserted he. Flipping through the pages of the NFL history, Cowherd’s primary focus was the Buccs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/tampa-bay-buccaneers/] QB Tom Brady. Mentioning the 2020 season, which turned ever so slightly formidable when their arch-rivals, the Saints [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/new-orleans-saints/] hammered them twice during the regular season. Yet, the team was crowned the Super Bowl champion in the same season. In 2022, the Los Angeles Rams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/los-angeles-rams-nfl/] were thrashed twice, in a similar fashion, by the 49ers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/], before steadily climbing their way to the Super Bowl ring after 22 years. Considered the best QB playing in the league, Patrick Mahomes and Co. were brutally defeated by two of their arch-nemesis, Buffalo Bills [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/buffalo-bills/] and Cincinnati Bengals, dropping their almost pristine score to 14-3. As the story goes, Mahomes led his team to a victory against the Eagles. The only difference, this time around, Eagles are after the Super Bowl, like death and taxes. Cowherd showing agreement about this being a petty setback displays his confidence in the team. “Philadelphia is fine. They’re the number one seed in the NFC they have absolutely nothing to worry about.” Read Also: “Shut Em Up”: Fans Stand Up for Tom Brady as NFL Icon Speaks Up Against Haters Who Called Him a “P**SY” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-legends-news-shut-em-up-fans-stand-up-for-tom-brady-as-nfl-icon-speaks-up-against-haters-who-called-him-a-psy/] Whatever the future holds for the Eagles, be it a comeback like Brady and Mahomes, or something not so pleasant, Hurts and Co.’s performance this season will be remembered till posterity.

"That's where my mindset is at." I, Pankti Parmar, felt it when Brock Purdy said this. I use my background in psychology to seamlessly cover various dimensions of iconic NFL players' lifestyles. I feel that my knack for unfolding the game layer by layer, combined with my easy-to-understand articulation gives the reader a wholesome experience. I developed a knack for disciplined, tough sports when I experienced my first kickboxing class. Initially, it was 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey who drew me into the realm of sports, but Brock Purdy's celebrated records, along with the competitive nature of the NFL, made my head whip towards the sport. Since then, there has been no turning back. During my breaks, you'll find me picking up my next poem to read. All in all, my passion for covering sports articles at ES is something that I wake up to every single day. - Pankti Parmar, NFL author at ES.
