PHILADELPHIA – Oh, brother.
In the city of brotherly love, the Philadelphia Eagles proved to be too much to handle for the Tennessee Titans.
With Rocky music blaring at kickoff, the underdog Titans fell behind early and ended up falling to the Eagles by a score of 35-10.

“It’s December football, and we talk about wanting to play in the postseason and making a late-season run,” Byard said. “We can’t lose any more games in my opinion. We have to find a way to get this thing back rolling. We don’t really look like a good football team right now, and…
