EDTShareTweetShareShareThe Phillies are the reason why the Eagles are the only NFL team that has three straight road gamesBill Streicher-USA TODAY SportsAs you’ve seen by now, the Philadelphia Eagles are the only NFL team that will play three straight road games during the 2019 season. Why is this the case? It turns out it has something to do with their neighbors across the street at Citizens Bank Park: the Philadelphia Phillies. In simpler terms, the NFL limited the amount of Eagles home games in October because they think the Phillies are going to be making a playoff run. The NFL is trying to avoid a messy scheduling conflict.On one hand http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-fletcher-cox-jersey , it’s exciting to think there’s an expectation the Phils are going to be really good. They’re certainly off to a nice start by sitting atop the NL East with an 11-6 record. On the other hand, the Eagles having three straight road games does put them at a disadvantage. History indicates it’s very challenging for teams to win that third straight road game.Here’s hoping the Phillies make good use of the sacrifice (hey, look, baseball pun!). It’d be disappointing if the Eagles were put at a disadvantage for naught. For excellent Phillies coverage, make sure you’re following along with our friends over at The Good Phight. There’s been speculation about the Eagles making a trade for a running back since Jay Ajayi tore his ACL Womens Jake Elliott Jersey , but they have not made any deal with a week to go before the deadline.The team has made an addition to the stable of running backs on hand, however. They announced on Tuesday that Donnel Pumphrey is rejoining the organization as a member of the practice squad.Pumphrey, who is the all-time rushing leader at the highest level of college football, was a fourth-round pick last year and went on injured reserve in September of his rookie season without seeing any regular season action. He was waived by the Eagles as they cut their roster to 53 players in September and spent several weeks on the Lions practice squad before being cut loose.Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood Derek Barnett Jersey , Josh Adams and Darren Sproles make up the backfield on the active roster, although Sproles has not played since the first week of the season because of a hamstring injury.
