It’s championship weekend for the National Football League. The NFC and AFC title games will be played Sunday. In the NFC, the resurgent Philadelphia Eagles are in Arizona to play the Cardinals.
On this edition of Sports Spectrum Today, we preview the Cardinals-Eagles game with a sports reporter for KYW Radio in Philadelphia, Matt Leon. Matt shares what’s happened to turn the season around for the Eagles.
There are many bounceback stories on this Eagles team. The top stories in particular are those of quarterback Donovan McNabb and head coach Andy Reid. Reid is one of the NFL's most underrated coaches and Matt tells us why.
Matt will also talk about the leadership of Eagles veteran safety Brian Dawkins. The 13 year veteran is one of the spiritual leaders of the team and is very outspoken about his faith in Christ. Matt shares some of the leadership qualities that he sees in Dawkins as well.
It’s a good start to your NFL playoff weekend.
