one of my offspring is at the game, in Mile High stadium. It remains to be seen if that's a good luck charm for the Birds.

While I'm a diehard Birds fan, who the *$%) came up with the Color Rush uniforms they are wearing today. White jerseys and black pants; how blazingly creative. :(

Devonta Smith with a nice catch of a 36-yard pass in the end zone for a TD. With the PAT, it's 10-0, Birds, with 3:16 left in the 1st qtr.

Broncos with a long drive, aided by a few dumb penalties by the Birds, take it in for a TD. 10-7, Birds

Long drive by the Birds ends with another TD reception by Devonta Smith. With the PAT, it's 17-10, Birds, with 3:07 left in the half.

Sounds like a lot of Birds fans in the stadium.

Birds with a nice drive at the end of the half. Had to settle for a 52-yard FG by Elliot to make it 20-10. On 3rd down, Hurts's pass hit Quez Watskins right in the hands, but he didn't catch it. ugh.

Tough luck. Watkins dropped a perfect dime from Hurts that would’ve been a TD. The Eagles settle for a FG and a 20-10 lead.

Broncos with a nice drive to open the 2nd half. Birds D stiffened inside their 10, so Denver had to go for a FG on 4th down. The Birds blocked the FG attempt. ;)

Another Barnett sighting! This time a roughing the passer penalty when the Eagles had stopped Denver on 3rd down!

omg, Broncos were driving and went for it on 4th down, the ball is stripped before it's whistled dead, and Darius Slay picks it up and after a bunch of weaving he returns it 82 yards for a Birds TD. With the PAT, it's 27-13, Birds, at the end of the 3rd qtr.

Oh, Jalen. This is why so many of us don’t believe you’re a viable high-end NFL starter.

that was an ugly pass. I thought it might have been tipped; couldn't tell on the replay. It seemed that Jalen's eyes practically told the DB where he was going with the pass.

It wasn’t that he got his arm hit. It was the force downfield into double coverage. That’s such a low percentage pass and mainly bad things happen.

He was channeling Carson Wentz there.

The Eagles came to play today. This is a really nice win. If they’d somehow won last week, we’d be talking wild card contention.

The Eagles defense finally shows up and holds Denver to 13 points. This was the best all around game I’ve seen them play this year (I don’t count Detroit). Hurts was pretty impressive today, and Howie’s #1 pick was as well.

Is this your son Tom? The facial features suggest it might be.
