KB is BACK and the Philadelphia Eagles are BACK in the win column! KB recaps a big win for the Birds as they take down the Vikings 28-22 in a game where Jalen Hurts was PERFECT. He gives flowers to the passing game, DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown popping off, and the defense finding a way to make big plays when needed. He also critiques the running game and why Kevin Patullo and the Offensive Line aren't off the hook. Then he goes around the NFL, talks some Flyers hockey and why the Flyers are fun right now, and also announces a new show guest coming throughout Sixers season! Then he caps off the show talking Philadelphia Union soccer as the MLS Playoff bracket is set and the Union's opening round schedule is locked in!
