Eagles’ Brandon Graham says he’s out for season with torn triceps
Brandon Graham might well have played the last game of his career on Sunday night, but he definitely played the final game of his season.
Graham, following the Philadelphia Eagles’ 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams, told reporters he had torn his triceps and would miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign.
“If I had to go out like this, I gave everything I got,” Graham, 36, said via NBC Philly’s Ashlyn Sullivan.

Saquon Barkley bolsters MVP case with record-breaking night as Eagles blow out Rams, 37 to 20
The Birds are 9-2!
Barkley logged 30 total touches for 302 yards from scrimmage, which is a new Eagles single-game franchise record.
Barkley’s 255 rushing yards topped his previous high of 189, which came in 2019 with the New York Giants.
I mean, where would the Eagles be without this guy? He’s obviously the team MVP and he’s arguably the NFL MVP.
While Barkley was the main highlight, Vic Fangio’s defense deserves love for holding the Rams’ offense to just 14 points prior to a garbage time touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
This is the Eagles’ winning formula: run the football with Saquon Barkley and play good defense.

Cowboys vs Giants on Thanksgiving: Dallas is favored after weeks as underdog
The Dallas Cowboys are Thanksgiving Day favorites
The Dallas Cowboys got back in the win column with a surprising upset over the Washington Commanders. Surprising in the fact that Dallas won, and surprising in that it was one of the crazier games seen in a while. The fourth-quarter alone was worth the price of admission.
The Cowboys were able to get their win even though they were roughly 10.5-point underdogs going into the game. Dallas has been the underdog for a while now, but this week they are favored. With their rivals in the NFC East, the New York Giants, coming to town on turkey day, Dallas finds themselves as 3.5-point favorites in the FanDuel odds.

Frustrated Giants players call out their team as ‘soft’ after lopsided loss
After a sixth straight defeat dropped New York to 2-9, one Giants player said he didn’t think all his teammates were “giving 100 percent.”
Capping a tumultuous week, the New York Giants’ desultory home loss Sunday prompted multiple players to describe their team’s effort as “soft.”
Star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence was asked if the Giants’ 30-7 defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made him angry and replied, “Extremely.”
“We played soft,” Lawrence told reporters after his team fell to 2-9, “and they beat the s— out of us today.”
Jermaine Eluemunor appeared more willing to call out unspecified teammates.
“I personally don’t think everyone’s giving 100 percent,” said Eluemunor (via ESPN), an eighth-year player making his fourth NFL stop. “And I mean, you’re 2-9, you have to be real with everyone. I’m 29 years old. I’m a vet in this league, and if anyone has a problem with me saying that, they can come see me. But I think this franchise and these coaches and these fans deserve way better.”
Malik Nabers is NOT HAPPY with the #Giants coaching:
“I started getting the ball when it’s 30-0. What do you want me to do? Talk to Dabs about that. Talk to Dabs.”
