The Philadelphia Eagles will be shorthanded against the Buffalo Bills.
The Philadelphia Eagles face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and they will be without two stars.
LB Nakobe Dean and RT Lane Johnson have been ruled out for the Eagles-Bills game.
Dean injured his hamstring in last week's game against the Washington Commanders, while Johnson has been sidelined since exiting the Eagles' Week 11 game against the Detroit Lions with a Lisfranc injury.
The Eagles are 10-5. They have clinched the NFC East and are in third place in the NFC.
Meanwhile, the Bills are 11-4. They are in second place in the AFC East and sixth place in the AFC.
Philadelphia is looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions and the birds -- according to star RB Saquon Barkley -- have the best coach in the NFL.
According to Elias Sports, Nick Sirianni is the only head coach in the Super Bowl Era to produce five playoff appearances with at least four 10+ win seasons, three division crowns, two conference titles and a Super Bowl title during their first five career seasons.
"When people compare who's the best and who's not, and for coaches, it's about winning," Barkley said. "He would say himself what makes a great coach is having great players. Obviously, the Philadelphia Eagles have been a great team since I've been in the league, going against them and now playing with them. But there's something to his standard that he sets, there's something to the way he comes to work, just how detailed and how obsessed he is with all the little things.
"There's a reason why we do a really good job of protecting the ball. There's a reason why we do a really good job of tackling. That all stems from him. It starts with him, and then he trickles it down to the offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, and then all the assistant coaches, and the leaders on team, we gotta all take that message and make it work. But he's been doing a great job for the last five years, and it's weird that you wouldn't hear his name brought up. But I mean, he probably doesn't care about that either."
