GM's/Owner's,

We are happy to announce our newest content... the upset of the week which we will recap each and every week for the rest of S3!

Upset of the Week: Philadelphia Eagles over the Jacksonville Jaguars, 33-23 road victory!

-Coming into this game most in the Better League would call the Eagles an automatic win including Jags owner on BL twitter but with two wins against current playoff teams seeding wise perhaps Coach Ryan has figured out the keys to success (not turning the ball over (7) times a game).  The Eagles turned in their best season back in S1 with a 5-11 record and with several division games left in the NFC East they may be on the road to their best season yet.  In a game with minimal turnovers compared to previous efforts by the QB1 in Philly they were able to go into Jacksonville and put the pressure on the Jags.  A matchup that on paper would've suggested a load of interceptions to come turned into the truck stick/hit stick extravaganza as the Philadelphia Eagles had (3) forced fumbles with (1) additional turnover via the rooke QB Trent Kerr.

-Surely this will be a difficult loss for the Jags as they look to get back into the playoff race after a dissapointing S2 effort.  The great news is they have matched their win total of S2 in (7) weeks already.  Discussed on the BL Happy Hour, can this team win the AFC South and knock off the Colts?  This is going to be a tough task if they drop winnable games moving forward.  On a positive note, lots of criticism was thrown towards the QB1 decisions in Jacksonville but the rookie QB Trent Kerr did put forth a great effort.  300 passing yards and THREE touchdowns ain't too shabby!

Future Matchups:

-PHI: Bye Week.  Full steam ahead to make some deadline deals perhaps?  Sorry guys, Fletcher Cox has signed a 3 year extension so he's off the block most likely.  After the bye week, Coach Ryan has a matchup with the Dallas Cowboys which could be the Eagles first chance at being .500 this cycle?

-JAX:  Washington Football Team (4-2) are next up on the schedule.  Big time bounce back game opportunity for Coach Cam and his Jaguars squad.  Two playoff hopefuls will meet in Week 8 with their division leaders looking to pull away.
