As the Giants lose a hard-fought game versus the Pittsburg Steelers, the Cowboys had a chance to possibly position themselves for a run on the NFC East. They lost to the undefeated Atlanta Falcons 19-13 and their window for making a playoff push in closing.
Enter the Philadelphia Eagles, who face off against the highly-touted New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. They are in need of a big win against one of the game's best quarterback Drew Bree's and the league's worst defenses, surrendering more than 400 yards a game.
It is vital for Mike Vick and Co. to get a win in the Big Easy. The ceiling is falling. Andy Reid needs a hope and a prayer that his team goes deep into the playoffs or he's a goner.
Mistakes and miscues have held back the Eagles from flying high; a motivated offense and an aggressive defense will carry them through the second half of the season.
It's boom or bust for the Birds. Can they weather the storm?
