If Philadelphia Eagles fans thought Sunday night was a Super Bowl preview, they are likely excited for what's to come.

The Birds wore out the Miami Dolphins, stopping their insane offense en route to a 31-17 victory.

The first half was all Philly as Dallas Goedert and Jalen Hurts both scored in addition to a stout Eagles defense, but Tyreek Hill’s 27-yard touchdown at the end of the half gave the Dolphins some life and made it a 17-10 game.

The Eagles defense forced a turnover on downs with the help of a missed penalty, but as the saying goes: Ball don’t lie. 

On the first play when they got the ball back, Hurts threw a pick-six, and the PAT tied the game. Philly answered back with an eight-play drive that ended in a 14-yard score for A.J. Brown, putting the Birds ahead by seven with 15 seconds left in the third.

Early in the fourth, Tua Tagovailoa threw an interception just as Miami was threatening. After the pick, the Eagles faced two fourth-and-1’s in their own territory – of course, they went with their Tush Push and were 2-for-2. Hurts then threw a 42-yard pass to Brown and Kenny Gainwell rushed into the end zone to make it a two-touchdown game with 4:46 to go.

The Eagles held the Dolphins offense scoreless in the second half. Their 10 offensive points is their lowest total in a game this season – it was also the least amount of points they scored in any first half this year.

Sunday's game marked the first time the former Alabama quarterbacks faced off in the NFL – Tagovailoa famously replaced Hurts in the 2018 National Championship, and Hurts wound up transferring to Oklahoma.

Hurts won this battle, though, throwing for 279 yards on 23-of-31 passing, while Brown racked up 10 receptions for 137 yards.

Tagovailoa went 23-for-32 for 216 yards, and Raheem Mostert was held to just 45 yards on the ground in his nine carries.

Philly now moves to 6-1 after losing their first game of the season last week, while Miami dropped to 5-2.

The Eagles will travel to Washington to face the Commanders next weekend and the Dolphins will welcome the New England Patriots.

A former State Department official resigned last week over the Biden administration’s response to the Israel-Hamas war. 

Josh Paul, the former director of congressional and public affairs at the department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, announced his resignation on Oct. 18 in a two-page letter posted to LinkedIn, stating he couldn’t stay because of a "policy disagreement" with the United States’ "continued lethal assistance to Israel." 

"Let me be clear: Hamas' attack on Israel was not just a monstrosity; it was a monstrosity of monstrosities. I also believe that potential escalations by Iran-linked groups such as Hezbollah, or by Iran itself, would be a further cynical exploitation of the existing tragedy. But I believe to the core of my soul that the response Israel is taking, and with it the American support both for that response, and for the status quo of the occupation, will only lead to more and deeper suffering for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people - and is not in the long term American interest," Paul wrote in part.

"This Administration's response - and much of Congress' as well - is an impulsive reaction built on confirmation bias, political convenience, intellectual bankruptcy, and bureaucratic inertia. That is to say, it is immensely disappointing, and entirely unsurprising. Decades of the same approach have shown that security for peace leads to neither security, nor to peace. The fact is, blind support for one side is destructive in the long term to the interests of the people on both sides. I fear we are repeating the same mistakes we have made these past decades, and I decline to be a part of it for longer."

Paul, who worked 11 years for the State Department, told the New York Times "legal guardrails" were failing after Israel cut off water, food, electricity and medicine to Gaza after Hamas terrorists killed 1,400 Israelis and kidnapped hundreds more. 

The Biden administration announced a $100 million humanitarian aid package for Palestinians last week and requested roughly $15 billion in aid for Israel from the U.S. Congress. 

WHAT IS THE GAZA STRIP?

Fox News’ Griff Jenkins said Paul’s letter was "unbelievable." "This is the guy, Josh Paul, who was providing aid from our president's direction to the State Department to Ukraine. And now he says he has a moral problem with taking a 'side' with Israel," he said on "The Big Weekend Show."

"And in this very same breath, this guy who said he was there for 11 years saying that he can't pick a side, took a side in Ukraine, but somehow he lacks the moral clarity to understand that we have not seen in any of our lives the level of human depravity that was carried out by Hamas with beheading babies, raping teenagers to the point that their pelvic bones broke, taking Holocaust survivors back hostage. And this guy has a moral compromise with taking a side?" Jenkins asked.

Co-host Joey Jones argued the Biden administration has an "ideological problem." "It's a problem that goes into our universities and into our culture," he said. "It is an ideological wormhole in our country that we have to understand that evil is evil and an ally protecting itself is not."
