The Eagles eked out a win over the Browns this weekend, but their coach may have left the game banged up.

They also dish on: the Deshaun Watson endgame in Cleveland; the Dallas meltdown against Detroit; the Lions’ next moves after losing Aidan Hutchinson to injury; Haason Reddick hiring a new agent to resolve his contract dispute with the Jets and whether we can finally just say the ball belongs to Justin Fields in Pittsburgh.
