Thanksgiving tables all over Philadelphia, rejoice. The Birds came ready for prime time and won their seventh straight game against the Rams, 37-20, d. Sunday night football. There’s a lot to discuss from another elite performance from Saquon Barkley and the Eagles defense, but as usual, here are a few of the best moments from the NBC broadcast.

It’s always sunny at SoFi Stadium

Quinta Brunson and Robert McElhenney have one It’s always sunny in Philadelphia and Abbott Elementary collaboration in the works. But two of the Birds’ biggest LA-based fans joined Sunday to support the Birds Sunday night football in a clip that aired ahead of the match.

Brunson and McElhenney are both big fans of the Eagles, and their love for the team shows in their various television shows. Jalen Hurts even had a guest appearance on it Abbott Elementary.

Bird fans fly west

The game was in Los Angeles, but there was a sea of ​​green at SoFi Stadium in the city to support the Birds. The Rams didn’t prepare for Sunday as if they were going to get a massive home crowd.

“We’re going to be in a silent count most of the game,” Matthew Stafford told NBC.

There’s a sizable group of Eagles fans who live in LA – Jason Kelce stopped by to party with a few of them during the Cowboys game.

But it’s also the weekend before Thanksgiving, so even more made the trip down, and they made their presence felt early after the Birds forced a fumble on the game’s first drive.

Eagles vs. sideline workers

It was not safe to work on the sidelines with the birds on the offensive. AJ Brown rammed right into this safety in the end zone on his touchdown, who shook it off better than I wanted. He was facing the stands and had no idea that Brown was about to hit him.

And that came after Barkley also ran right into one of the parabolic microphone guys. The microphone he was holding picked up the crunch of the pads perfectly.

Be safe, everyone!

Get well soon, Mike Tirico

It’s not just the sideline staff who get hurt this week. After a commercial aired for the new NBC sitcom St. Denis MedicalCris Collinsworth forced Mike Tirico to reveal that he tore his Achilles tendon and called the game with his foot elevated and in a boot.

Did he go too hard on beer league basketball? Did he leave at the airport? A pickleball incident? The world is begging to know. Another tidbit is that the box that Tirico rested his foot on is marked “Cris”, which I choose to believe is because Collinsworth is standing on it like Jeff Passan to seem taller.

The Tush Push

The Brotherly Shove works with Cam Jurgens replacing Jason Kelce. It works with Kenny Pickett replacing Hurts. Kelce told NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark that he thinks the Birds could even convert with her under center.

Collinsworth disagrees.

I think that would make a good segment for a future broadcast. I’m willing to volunteer to try it, just throwing it out there.
