Your Philadelphia Eagles are 4-1. That’s right, with a big win over the Arizona Cardinals yesterday, the Eagles are atop the NFC East standings and are among the best in the whole NFC.

To make things even better the Giants lost, the Cowboys fell to the Packers, and the Redskins had a bye.

Chris had a lot of great content in the game thread from yesterday, but before the game even got underway Sal Paolantonio rode with Doug Pederson to the stadium.

Shortly after this ceremony was the National Anthem, where several 49ers players took a knee. That prompted Vice President Mike Pence, who was in attendance, to leave the game. This was part of the vice president’s statement afterwards:
