BOSTON (AP) — The Patriots took a step back on defense last season. It's prompted Bill Belichick to focus a lot of attention — and money — on that side of the ball at the unofficial start of free...
CLEVELAND (AP) — Kareem Hunt lifted off just inside the 5-yard line, soared over the head of Philadelphia's Jalen Mills like an Olympic long jumper and landed in the end zone.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — A week off didn’t solve any of Philadelphia’s problems.
The Eagles were out of sync on offense, played poorly on defense and made sloppy mistakes on special...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Avonte Maddox has turned into a do-it-all defensive back in a secondary decimated by injuries.
The rookie fourth-round pick began the season as Philadelphia's fifth cornerback, but has become one of the team's most valuable defensive players. Maddox entered the starting lineup at safety in Week 5 after Rodney McLeod sustained a season-ending knee injury and backup Corey Graham got hurt.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles lost another key player for the season.
Cornerback Ronald Darby tore his ACL in the second half of Philadelphia's 27-20 loss to Dallas on Sunday night, leaving the defending Super Bowl champions without half their starting secondary. Safety Rodney McLeod sustained a season-ending knee injury in September.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — As Kirk Cousins backpedaled in the pocket with Minnesota on the move late in the first half last week, Adam Thielen broke for the back corner of the end zone.
Cousins had to make an off-balance throw to beat a fast-approaching Michael Bennett, and Thielen had little room left in bounds to secure the catch with two Philadelphia defenders a step behind him.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Matt Ryan to Julio Jones failed in Philly again.
Jay Ajayi had a pair of touchdown runs, Nick Foles caught another pass to jump-start a sputtering offense and the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles needed another defensive stand to open the NFL season with an 18-12 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.

When the Vikings (14-3) have the ball
Watch out for Stefon Diggs (14) on a desperation pass!
Seriously, Vikings receivers are more dangerous than given credit for. Indeed, that's also true for Philadelphia's wideouts.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — LeGarrette Blount sees some Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles.
After winning two Super Bowls with the Patriots, Blount came to Philadelphia and now is part of the team with the best record in the NFL. Winning seems to follow the bruising back.
"This team is special, man," Blount said with a big smile. "Special."
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carson Wentz tossed two touchdown passes, Jalen Mills had a pick-6 and the NFL-leading Philadelphia Eagles beat the winless San Francisco 49ers 33-10 on a sloppy, rainy Sunday.
The Eagles (7-1) overcame a slow start on their way to a sixth straight win. The 49ers are 0-8 for the first time in franchise history.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Even when they were sloppy, the Philadelphia Eagles won going away.
Carson Wentz tossed two touchdown passes, Jalen Mills had a pick-6 and the NFL-leading Eagles beat the winless San Francisco 49ers 33-10 on a rainy Sunday.
LANDOVER, Maryland (AP) — It wasn't a good sign for the Washington Redskins when receiver Terrelle Pryor lost sight of the ball in the sun on the first play of the game.
It also didn't help that quarterback Kirk Cousins wasn't at his best in an ugly 30-17 season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
From the receivers and Cousins to the offensive line and third-down defense, there was plenty of blame to go around.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Green Goblin is ready for prime time.
Eagles rookie cornerback Jalen Mills, who earned that nickname after he dyed his hair green in training camp, could start his first NFL game Monday night at Chicago (0-1).
Mills practiced with the first team on Thursday because Leodis McKelvin has a left hamstring strain.
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Robert Griffin III's comeback cracked.
Cleveland's quarterback curse strikes again.
Griffin broke a bone in his left shoulder during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 29-10 loss at Philadelphia and will miss at least eight games — and potentially the season — with an injury that leaves the Browns' muddled QB situation as jumbled as ever.
