Jeff Kurkjian Sings About The Eagles Home Opener

Every single Thursday, Jeff Kurkjian writes a song in just ten minutes, it’s called the Ten Minute Tune. This week happens to land on the Eagles home opener!

Eagles Week One Game

The Philadelphia Eagles began their season on the road against the New England Patriots. The Birds ended up winning 25-20 in a game that shouldn’t have been that close quite frankly. Jalen Hurts, starting quarterback, threw for 22 completions from his 33 attempts amassing 170 yards and one touchdown. He also had nine carries for 37 rushing yards.

AJ Brown had seven receptions for 79 yards but it was DeVonta who reeled in the one passing touchdown of the game.

The best part is that the Eagles spoiled Tom Brady’s return to New England. They honored the former quarterback prior to the game with a jersey retirement ceremony.

Eagles Home Opener

On Thursday, September 14th, the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the visiting Minnesota Vikings at 8:15 p.m. It’s a short week for both teams who played their week one game on Sunday. Jeff sang his own song about it! You can listen here.

Here are the lyrics

I went looking at highlights of the Super Bowl

All those bad memories

But we won on week one, now we back at the Linc

Now against the Vikings

Jalen Hurts Touchdown, DeAndre Swift on the ground, 

Football is back in town

And yeah we, want the crown, back to the Super Bowl game

But we gotta win now, home opener

And now the birds on Thursday night

Sack Kirk Cousins under the lights

‘Cause we got the best defense in the NFL

The birds in town

And when the offense takes the field

Four TDs later we will kneel

‘Cause we make the other teams fans leave with a frown

The birds in town
