1.23.23 | Football

PHILADELPHIA - Now into the Divisional Round of the playoffs, former Owls of the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills helped advance their teams to the Conference Championships.
 
On Saturday Night, Haasan Reddick (2013-16), Shaun Bradley (2016-19), and the #1 seed Philadelphia Eagles defeated NFC East division rivals and the #6 seed New York Giants in a dominating 38-7 victory. Reddick led his defense with another impressive performance, reeling in five tackles, 1.5 sacks, one tackle-for-loss, and three quarterback hits.
 
On Sunday afternoon, Dion Dawkins (2013-16), Tyler Matakevich (2012-15), and the #2 seed Buffalo Bills lost to the #3 seed Cincinnati Bengals, 27-10. Dawkins and the Bills offense were unable to get going in the snow, as they only accrued over 300 yards and 26 minutes of possession.

In addition to the players on the field, there are Owls in the NFL who are helping win championships behind the scenes. For the Philadelphia Eagles, Fran Duffy (2004-10) serves as the Production Manager and On Air Talent, Ameena Soliman (2014-17) serves as the Director of Personnel Operations/Pro Scout, Bob Lange (1999-01) serves as the Senior Vice President of Communcations, and Rod Streater (2010-11) serves as the Northeast Area Scout.
