newspapers speak out. tom corbett has been something of a disaster. tom corbett cut spending on education by a billion dollars... it's time for a change. elect tom wolf, and you'll get the type of governor we haven't seen for a while...
6:21 pm
...one who looks out for average, hard-working pennsylvanians. it's wolf who has solid ideas for bringing in new business and for boosting the economy. tom wolf for governor, a fresh start for pennsylvania. hey, i'm john clark. the eagles lose their starting quarterback nick foles today. he could have a broken collarbone and could be out for a while. and domico ryan tore his achilles and he's possibly out for the season. but they still got the win. first quarter, he's not going to like this. nick foles deep for jeremy macland. 59-yard touchdown. the eagles are up 7-0. take a look here at foles hit by
6:22 pm
j.j. watts. the pass intended for riley cooper. intercepted by a.j. foyes. foles with eight picks over the last five games. we are tied at 7-7. foles is sacked and take a look at the left shoulder slammed down. that's where he apparently fractured his collarbone. goes back to the locker room and did not return. then mark sanchez comes in. his first action in two seasons, very first pass play -- sanchez going deep for macland. jeremy macland again, 52-yard gain. they close out the drive, look at this beautiful pass for jor thank matthews. the eagles are up 14-7 and chip is loving it. the eagles have a three-point lead at the half, third quarter, eagles get the running game going. la shawn mccoy passes for second place in eagle history on the game. and chris polk finishes off the drive with an eight-yard touchdown. the eagles are up ten and the
6:23 pm
defense is after it. riley fitzpatrick intercepts the ball here. he fumbles it right back because that's where he tears his achilles. he tore it in the same spot he did four years ago when playing for the texans. that's tough for domico. sanchez was under center, chris polk gets the first down for the eagles and that's pretty much going to be it. sanchez and jeremy macland, they ice it coming up right here. eight-minute drive, longest during the chip kelly era. the eagles win it and the birds are going to be hurting with domico out for the season. >> everybody knows it, what domico means to this team. he's the true leader. he's mufasa, he's our guy. but when a man goes down, you pick up his shield and play in honor of him. i think that's what our guys did. >> the injury, i'll wait until
6:24 pm
that gets announced. and domico, two big-time players on our team, stuff you never want to see happen. so that's tough. >> i was expecting a handout for a screen or an easier way in, but you know coach kelly, if he's a basketball coach, he would bring you off the bench to shoot three-pointers, so that's the way it goes. you have to be ready. >> we have a guy in mark that can step up and win some games. so i'm excited about him being back there and we'll continue to move forward. . >> how about jeremy macland? four touchdowns, 345 yards the last two games. one of the best receivers in football and he turned down a long-term deal in the offseason coming off knee surgery. >> you know, he picked a great year to sign a one-year deal. he's -- he's playing his butt off, man. >> i'm not going to call it gambling, i just think it's
6:25 pm
great and the best for me and my family. >> the cowboys with tony romo out with a back injury, they lose today to arizona. the backup quarterback brandon weidon really struggling. the cowboys lose 28-17. they are in second place behind the eagles. i'm john clark, be right back.
6:27 pm
say it ain't so, upper 30s tonight? >> yes, it will be cold and colder than yesterday. but we're warming up heading into next week. and the wind speeds are coming down by tomorrow. >> bundle up tonight. that's "nbc 10 news" for now. for brittney and i, i'm keith jones. we'll see you back after the game.
