The Philadelphia Eagles embark on the toughest part of their schedule starting Monday Night they will face the defending Super Bowl Champions Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.  It’s Mahomes vs Hurts Part Two plus the Kelce Family Reunion Game.  It’s Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni who owns a 31-12 record as Philadelphia's Head coach against former Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid, owner of two Super Bowl rings as head coach who’s record since 2021 is 33-10 which is tops in the NFL.  If that’s not enough headlines for you, well Taylor Swift will be there rooting for her boyfriend Travis Kelce along with her parents!

The Mainland High School Football team is 12-0 and they will face the 10-2 Winslow Township in the Group 4 NJSIAA Semifinal game on Friday night for the right to play for the State Group 4 Championship.  On Saturday in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim we will talk with the Head Football Coach of the Mainland Mustangs Chuck Smith. 

The Sixers lost two games this week and abruptly ended an eight game winning streak.  With speculation about what really happened to Kelly Oubre and his broken ribs, will the search for the truth become the latest dark cloud hanging over the 76ers?  They start a two-game road trip on Friday Night when they travel to Atlanta to play the Hawks and then come back north on Sunday to play the Nets in Brooklyn.

The Flyers have won three games in a row, all on their current road trip.  They beat the Ducks, Kings, and Hurricanes and look to make it four in a row Saturday afternoon against the defending Stanley Cup Champions Las Vegas Knights in Philadelphia.  Catch all the Flyers action on 97.3 ESPN Radio South Jersey and you can hear the action also on the 973 ESPN Mobile App.
