UPDATES: Safeties Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown are OUT.

Notable Info  

• The Philadelphia Eagles ended their season by losing to the Giants and Cardinals and they will be without AJ Brown tonight. Defensively It is no secret that both of these teams are capable of shutting down the run game. Baker Mayfield should be able to move the ball through the air to Godwin/Evans at will, especially with Reed Blankenship OUT. DeVonta Smith will be heavily targeted with no AJB.
