Eagles Offense Has Top Supporting Cast in League
Eagles Offense Has Top Supporting Cast in League originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Life is good for the Philadelphia Eagles. Even after winning Super Bowl LIX last February, the organization is considered a favorite to repeat as champions for the 2025 season. Advertisement There are many reasons for this. Philadelphia has a top front office that is always looking to improve the current roster. Their coaching staff remains underrated. The true calling card, though, comes with their dominant roster. Even after losing several starters from their Super Bowl team, the Eagles have stars all across the ball. This is true specifically on the offensive end. FOX Sports' David Helman believes that the Eagles have the best supporting cast for quarterback Jalen Hurts. "The top spot might be the easiest to figure out in this entire exercise," Helman said. "The Eagles return 10 of 11 starters from the unit that cruised to a Super Bowl title, and they even did a nice job creating competition for Mekhi Becton's vacant guard spot by trading for Kenyon Green. Advertisement "They have the best running back in football, an elite receiver duo, a quality tight end and the top offensive line in the too much talent here to lose sleep over it." It's hard to argue against Helman. There's a reason why the Eagles have been so good in recent years, and it is because they continue to build a roster full of talented stars. The more stars they accumulate, the more dominant they become. And that doesn't even begin to mention how consistent of a winner Jalen Hurts has been as a quarterback with this talent.

2025 NFL schedule: Analyst wants Rams game on Christmas Day
The Los Angeles Rams' 2025 schedule could go in a variety of directions. While the Rams have a lot of marquee matchups on the docket, it's up to the NFL when in the schedule they'll be played. There will be three games on Christmas Day once again, and FOX Sports' David Helman hopes one of them will feature the Rams against the San Francisco 49ers. "I'll say it again: Every big holiday should include at least one division rivalry, and this is one of the best," Helman wrote. "Nine of the past 12 Niners/Rams games have been decided by one possession, and both teams should be in contention to win the NFC West in 2025. Another bonus is that, by playing this game at SoFi Stadium in L.A., we'll be guaranteed at least one Christmas game that isn't affected by winter weather." Advertisement Pitting the two bitter NFC West foes against each other on Christmas would be quiet the spectacle, especially given how late in the NFL season it would be, too. Unless catastrophe strikes either team — like it did for the 49ers in 2024 — this game could play a role in who wins the division as well as the NFC playoff seeds. If this comes to pass, it'll also be the first time the Rams have played on Christmas since L.A. demolished the Denver Broncos at home, 51-14, in 2022. That game was on a Sunday, though, while Christmas is on a Thursday in 2025. This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: 2025 NFL schedule: Analyst wants to see Rams on Christmas Day

Go behind a gravity-defying ‘Wicked' flight
Over a thousand artists and production crew members from more than five countries brought together director Jon M. Chu's enchanting musical 'Wicked,' which tells the story of the unlikely friendship between Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), long misunderstood and ostracized due to her green skin, and the cheerfully popular Glinda (Ariana Grande). Visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman says it's a testament to the 'importance of collaboration' for the ambitious project that combined massive practical sets with alluring CG work. For the film's climactic 'Defying Gravity' sequence, Chu shared his vision using a scale model that was then interpreted by each department. 'Jon is somebody who shoots for the characters. The internal, the relationships,' notes Helman. 'All the visual effects that we talked about had to do with storytelling.' What that meant was creating a dynamic scene that connected to the rising emotional journey. Erivo extensively rehearsed the flying portion, which was shot using wires and against a blue screen. Adding to the realism was her request to sing live to an on-set audience. 'The benefit of having the actors engaged is that you feel it. You feel the emotion and the connection between them,' Helman says. 'If you don't start with the performances being truthful, you'll never get it.'
