It is clearly not an overreaction to say that National Tight Ends Day is a real thing. Not after watching Kyle Pitts, Cade Otton and all these other guys go off Sunday. It might just be some goofy thing made up by George Kittle and Travis Kelce, but it sure looks like the tight ends themselves take it seriously. And maybe, just maybe, a few of their playcallers are happy to go along with the ride.
The Eagles, however, didn’t have their starting tight end Sunday, as Dallas Goedert had to miss this year’s festivities due to a hamstring injury. But that didn’t stop them from putting up their highest single-game point total of the season in a 37-17 comeback victory over the Bengals in Cincinnati. It was the Eagles’ third win in a row, tying them temporarily with the Commanders for first place in the NFC East.
It also earned the Eagles the right to open our NFL Week 8 overreactions — where we judge a few potential takeaways as legitimate or irrational.
