The Eagles haven't even kicked off yet against the Bears but they may soon be getting some good news about their game next week. Due to the epic fight you see below, there is a good chance that Texans wideout Andre Johnson will be suspended for his next game, which just so happens to be against the Eagles next week. With the Eagles secondary dealing with their share of injuries, not having to deal with a beast like Johnson would be a huge break for the Birds.

Andre Johnson Fights So He Can Feel

Via With Leather  |  November 29, 2010
Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is one of the NFL’s more pleasant fellows, so it stands to reason that Tennessee Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan really pissed him off in their matchup on Sunday. Neither guy would fess up on how it all got started, but once it did, it was rather awesome. Finnegan pushed up Johnson’s facemask, and the Texans’ wideout responded...

Video: Andre Johnson Throws Punches

Via Six and Out  |  November 28, 2010
Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans is known as a gentle, soft-spoken superstar wide receiver. That wasn’t the case on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

As you can see in the Andre Johnson video below, the play...

Andre Johnson Not Punished for Throwing Punches

Andre Johnson melted down and threw punches at Cortland Finnegan. Apparently, AJ’s good reputation worked to his advantage as the Houston Texans wide receiver only got fined $25K. Considering that many thought Andre Johnson could be suspended, a $25K fine is basically nothing. Finnegan, a defensive back for the Tennessee Titans, received the same punishment for getting punched...

“Blame it On God” and a Texas-Sized Beatdown

Via Chicks in the Huddle  |  November 29, 2010
Given the fact that there are “Hail Marys” and “Saints” in the NFL, it only makes sense that God is a pro football fan. So it’s in no way completely insane for Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson, who dropped a wide open pass in overtime against the Steelers, to seemingly blame the big guy for his butterfingers. Check out what Johnson tweeted after the game. Wait a minute...

Frustration over rout leads to brawl between Texans' Johnson, Titans' Finnegan

Their feisty duel exploded into a full-blown fistfight late in the Texans' 20-0 win over the Titans on Sunday. Both players were ejected, and the ugly incident could lead to further discipline...

Cortland Finnegan told Texans Andre Johnson hit was coming

Via Pro Football Talk  |  November 29, 2010
A moment before Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan and Texans receiver Andre Johnson fought on the field Sunday, Finnegan told the Texans’ sideline to get ready.

Andre Johnson, Cortland Finnegan get the Richard Seymour treatment

Via Pro Football Talk  |  November 29, 2010
As some Internet hack said during last’s nights Chargers-Colts postgame, the NFL set the precedent last week for fighting, fining Raiders defensive lineman Richard Seymour $25,000 after throwing an open hand to the face of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Filed under: Texans, TitansEven though the NFL found Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan equally in the wrong for their fight last Sunday, fining both $25,000, the court of public opinion has been firmly against Finnegan.

Eagles Defense Will Have Shot at Redemption Against Powerful Texans Offense

Via BirdsFan.com - A Philadelphia Eagles Blog  |  November 30, 2010
Just last week, I wrote about how the Eagles defense would be the x-factor the remainder of the season. I think that especially holds true after their performance against the Bears last Sunday. The Eagles are in a good position right now to make a run into the playoffs, but nothing is guaranteed. If this team seriously wants to make the playoffs and compete for a championship,...
