This weekend’s games feature arguably the four best teams in the game.  The Denver Broncos came away with home-field advantage late in the season, and after a quarterback change back to Peyton Manning, will host Tom Brady and the New England Patriots for the right…

Embed from Getty Images   Two weeks ago, the Philadelphia Eagles were done. Finished. After three consecutive losses to sub-.500 teams, it was apparent Chip Kelly had lost the locker room and this Eagles’ squad was destined to a top-10 slot in the 2016 draft and possible changes at head coach.
