It's time to put the Cardinals in the rear-view mirror and start to look forward to this Sunday's showdown with the Detroit Lions. Detroit is 7-5 and sits alone atop the NFC North, while the Eagles will look to keep the pressure on the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles are back on the practice field today and we'll have complete coverage throughout the day. Here's a look at the 5 Things To Know Today to get your Tuesday started ...
1. BRENT CELEK: ONE OF THE BEST IN FRANCHISE HISTORY
Put Brent Celek's accomplishments in perspective: A fifth-round draft pick in 2007, Celek has become one of the best tight ends in the history of the Eagles. He caught his 24th career touchdown pass on Sunday to move into sole possession of second place in the franchise record books behind Pete Retzlaff (47), and Celek is already second behind Retzlaff In career yards (3,792) and receptions (303).
"I've just tried to work hard every day and do my job," said Celek. "I have always said that I'll do whatever the coaches want me to do. I think I've become a much more complete tight end. I feel really good about my place here and about how the team is improving every day. We're just taking this thing day by day and enjoying it."
