Today at 1:00 p.m. ET on Fox, Week 13 will witness a battle of the birds in Philadelphia when the Eagles (6-5) host the Arizona Cardinals (7-4) in NFL action that can be live streamed here by clicking this link. Cardinals fans can hear the game on KTAR-FM 92.3 while Eagles fans can tune in to 94 WYSP.
The Cardinals have been one of the league's pleasant surprises, riding a stout defense to seven wins in their first 11 games. "Identity-wise," quarterback Carson Palmer said, "we're a defensive football team." That defense has Arizona thinking playoffs, even though they ply their trade in one of the league's toughest divisions.
"I think there's no reason we don't (make the playoffs)," coach Bruce Arians said. "We have a big game this week again against a team that's a game behind us on the road, was in first place and fighting for the division title, so it will be another good barometer."
Another pleasant surprise has been Nick Foles, who replaced Michael Vick following an injury and has grabbed a stranglehold on the starting job. "I feel the same," said Foles after learning he would be the starter for the rest of the season even if Vick is healthy. "Nothing has really changed. I'm going to prepare the same way I always have."
Defensively, the Eagles began the year as a trainwreck, but have come together and are now playing more solid football. "The defense turned it around very well," wide receiver DeSean Jackson said.
"They're doing some great things. As an offense, it's great to have your defense going out there and competing, doing a good job, making the other team punt."
On offense the Cardinals may be more one-dimensional than usual. Rookie running back Andre Ellington sustained a knee injury in practice that may keep him off the field. Arians termed him a "game time decision."
