The Philadelphia Eagles won the NFC East in the most bittersweet fashion on Sunday. They won the division, yes, but they also likely lost their starting quarterback and NFL MVP candidate for the season.
Carson Wentz would not let his teammates get down on themselves, though. He was waiting for them in the locker room after the game so they could all celebrate together.
Wentz’s injury sure sucks. But getting to 11-2 isn’t easy. The players definitely deserved a moment to bask in what they’ve accomplished. Here’s what that looked like, starting with the GOAT.
NFC East Champs! So proud of the resiliency of this team. Such a special group of men.

And I greatly appreciate all the prayers! I know my God is a powerful one with a perfect plan. Time to just lean in to him and trust whatever the circumstances! #Proverbs3:5-6
