The Eagles Hold on to Beat Chicago 22-14 & Furkan Korkmaz Hits the Game Winner!!

The Philadelphia Eagles hold on to beat the Chicago Bears 22-14 to go into the bye week with a 5-4 record. The Eagles had a 12-0 lead after the first half as they completely dominated. The Bears had one passing yard, nine total yards, and only converted one first down. The Birds came out in the second half with a beautiful drive to take a 19 point lead. From there, the Bears took shots down field and found a way to move the ball. Mitch Tribusky connected with Taylor Gabriel that later resulted in a David Montgomery touchdown. Then, Montgomery scored his second touchdown of the game. Suddenly, that 19 point lead was cut to five. In the fourth quarter, Carson Wentz and the Eagles offense converted on four third downs and finished the game off by burning the clock. Alshon Jeffery had a weird game as he dropped three big passes. Zach Ertz had a big game with nine catches for over 100 yards. Doug Pederson was..... eh. The biggest takeaway is, the Eagles are over .500 heading into the bye with the NFC East still in play.

The Philadelphia Sixers beat the Portland Trail Blazers 129-128 in a very entertaining basketball game. The Sixers would consistently be down double digits, but would crawl back to a three or four point deficit. Portland would always respond as they knocked down 19 three-pointers and shot 54% from behind the arc. They would always respond, except for one time, the most important time. Ben Simmons went to the free throw line, down one point with 10 seconds left, and drilled BOTH with excellent form. He looked super confident in that moment after having a very so-so game. On the other end, Damian Lillard passed out to Anfernee Simons who hit a dagger three to take a two point lead. Little did everyone know, Furkan Korkmaz with .4 seconds left after Brett Brown drew up a beautiful play, would hit the game winning three point shot. WHAT A GAME! The Sixers are 5-0.
