Coach Nick Sirianni's Philadelphia Eagles are 2-4 on the season, in the same boat as their opponent, the Dallas Cowboys, heading into Week 7 Monday Night Football action with Tanner McKee at quarterback and two key pass catchers set to return. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is making ‘Hail Mary' changes for an Eagles team that still loves and respects its former offensive line star, Jason Kelce.
Kelce got a hero's welcome in Philly as confetti flowed and the pyromaniacs were brought out for the big game, as shown on ESPN.

Kelce played for the Eagles from 2011 to 2023 and is one of the city's most beloved former athletes. He visits Eagles games often and is known for his rowdy personality and gregarious nature.
The Eagles found themselves behind the 4-2-1 New York Giants on the day as trade rumors swirled about running back Saquon Barkley, who has been among the team's injury victims this season. The Eagles have lost four straight games including in Week 6 to the Carolina Panthers by a score of 25-14.
Mannion has been under fire throughout the season for the conservative nature of the Eagles' offense, but he hasn't had much choice in the matter as star QB Jalen Hurts is expected to be out for the season and Barkley's availability has been limited.
The Eagles will have their hands full with a high-powered Cowboys offense and Brian Schottenheimer-led team that are better than their record currently shows, similar to coach Sirianni's team.
