Why Eagles Aren't Being Respected As Super Bowl Champions?
The greatest example of this came with ESPN's latest documentary announcement.

The same crew that created Michael Jordan's "The Last Dance" is creating another documentary on the 2024-25 football season. Not on the dominance of the Eagles, though.

It's on the Kansas City Chiefs and their attempt to become the first team in the Super Bowl era to win three straight titles.
It's clear that ESPN was working on the documentary well before Kansas City reached the Super Bowl. But the fact that the network is still going through with the kind of video that is usually reserved for champions is straight up laughable.
And shows how much disrespect the Eagles continue to get.
As the Eagles blew out the Chiefs 40-22 in February, the big question and comments made were focused on Kansas City's loss. They questioned Patrick Mahomes' legacy, and why Jalen Hurts' age MVP wasn't considered that big of a deal because of the team around him.

The documentary is just the tip of the iceberg there.
And while the Eagles are undoubtedly the defending champions, it is clear that they have even more to prove going into the new season.
Simply because of the fact no one is giving them the kind of respect worthy of being the best in the world at this point.

Report: Jonathan Mingo could miss time with a PCL injury
Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo injured his right knee the play after a 49-yard reception. He left the game and did not return, with the team ruling him out. After the game, Mingo walked to the locker room without a noticeable limp and without anything on his knee. But Todd Archer of ESPN reports that the Cowboys fear Mingo injured his posterior cruciate ligament. Mingo will undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity. He will miss time. The question is: How much? The Cowboys had only 30 yards of total offense with 10:41 left in the third quarter when Mingo caught a bomb from Joe Milton to the Baltimore 23. On the next play, Milton threw Mingo a fade that fell incomplete, and Mingo got up flexing his right knee after jumping for the ball. The Cowboys list Mingo as the backup to CeeDee Lamb. He made five catches for 46 yards in 2024 after arriving in Dallas via a midseason trade from Carolina.

Rookie QB Jaxson Dart stars in his home preseason debut as the Giants beat the Jets 31-12
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Getting snaps with the first-team offense, then throwing for a touchdown and running for another with the backups, Jaxson Dart shined in his new home stadium debut for the New York Giants as part of a 31-12 victory against the Jets on Saturday night in each team's second preseason game. The rookie first-round pick whom the Giants envision as their long-term franchise quarterback got a chance to show a little bit of how he could contribute in the near future by subbing in for starter Russell Wilson mid-drive and connecting with Theo Johnson on a 30-yard pass. Dart capped a 71-yard second half-opening drive with a TD throw to Greg Dulcich and scored on a goal-line sneak to finish another after completing 13 consecutive passes. Dart was 14 of 16 for 137 yards, delivering on the hype under the lights at MetLife Stadium before giving way to Jameis Winston. Wilson had his own highlight, throwing his so-called 'moon ball' to undrafted free agent Beaux Collins for an 80-yard gain. The 36-year-old had another intercepted because of a miscommunication with Collins, his final throw of a 4 of 7, 108-yard performance. While the Giants (2-0) got clicking, questions remain on offense for Justin Fields and the Jets (1-1). He left after two run-heavy series 1 of 5 for 4 yards, with Nick Folk's 38-yard field goal the only points the starters got on the board. That performance came after Fields, signed to a two-year, $40 million deal to replace Aaron Rodgers, was 3 of 4 for 42 yards and a 13-yard TD run in the exhibition opener at Green Bay last Saturday. Fields and the Jets' passing offense have mostly struggled to produce consistently in training camp, but first-year coach Aaron Glenn has insisted that Fields is developing nicely and doing all that has been asked of him. Jets: Kick returner Xavier Gipson left with a shoulder injury in the first half. Cornerback Sauce Gardner did not play as he nurses a sore calf. Up next Jets: Host defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia on Friday night. Giants: Host New England on Thursday night. ___ AP Pro Football Writer Dennis Waszak Jr. contributed to this report. ___ AP NFL:
