PHILADELPHIA (AP) – After playing four games in 18 days, the Eagles needed a second bye week, and the NFL schedule makers and coach Andy Reid teamed up to give them one.
After the Eagles (8-4) defeated the Texans Thursday night, Reid sent his players home for five days before reconvening everybody at the team’s practice facility on Wednesday morning to prepare for the Cowboys (4-8).
“When you get away and you come back, you have a little bounce in your step, and that’s how these guys are,” Reid said. “That’s how the coaches are, same thing, they took a couple days off and are ready to go. But, it’s important how you channel that. You have a little extra energy then you have to channel it the right way.”
