Philadelphia sports teams on a roll after epic weekend

By Eric Smithling | Last updated 10/17/22

Philadelphia is feeling the love after one of the best sports weekends in the city in years.

The Philadelphia Phillies.

A team that started 22-29, fired their manager, had the reigning MVP injured for most of the season, and then backed into the final WC spot just put an absolute beat down on the defending World Champion Atlanta Braves in the NLDS.#RingTheBell

The Phillies, who will play the Padres in the NLCS beginning Tuesday, are 5-1 in the postseason. After making the playoffs for the first time since the 2011 season, the Phillies are eight wins from their first World Series title since 2008.

The Eagles, meanwhile, are the last unbeaten team in the NFL. Per the Washington Post, the team is 6-0 for the first time since the 2004 season and wrapped up a special weekend in Philadelphia sports with a 26-17 win over the rival Cowboys on Sunday night.

Even the Flyers, who finished last season 25-46-11, are on a roll at 2-0.

And, on Tuesday night, the NBA's 76ers join the fun. They are ranked fifth in ESPN's Power Rankings. Could they go 82-0?

“How ‘bout them Eagles?” Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni shouted after Sunday night's 26-17 win over Dallas, per the Philadelphia Inquirer. “How ‘bout them Eagles!?!?”

Hell, you could shout, "How 'bout Philadelphia?!"

tomorrow.

Joel Embiid was at the Phillies game yesterday, and is at the Eagles game today.

When he talks about Philadelphia as a place he loves, cares about, and pours into, he means it.

Even before a single minute of basketball has been played this szn, we’re so lucky to have him.

Since the beginning of the MLB postseason, Philadelphia's major sports teams have won 90 percent of their games (9-1). Fans are living their best life.

That was one of the most legendary weekends in Philadelphia sports history. Wow.
