The Eagles won their fourth straight game on Sunday afternoon and they went from being out of the playoff picture at 5-7 to NFC East champs at 9-7 in the process.

A report from ESPN on Saturday indicated that the Jaguars would be firing head coach Doug Marrone after Sunday’s game against the Colts, but the team denied it and there’s been no word about a change at this point.
