prime time showdown headlines this morning's locker room report. we haven't done anything yet. we have five wins and we still got ten more games to do. >> six games and we were 4 and 2. things can change fast. >> we kind of learned all that from last year starting off hot. probably just letting the distractions outside get the best of us. this year, we are totally focused. >> it's easier to start back. i see what's happened. we have a huge opportunity to set ourselves up pretty nice in the next stretch of games before we head out. >> we came back hungry. i can still see it in these guys at practice. nobody is going to ever settle for anything less than greatness. the birds are home for a three-game stretch in four of their next five, which is good news under doug pederson. they have outscored their opponents by an even 100 points. the birds have scored 20 or more in 9 of 10 games and held opponents to less than 20 points in 7 of 10. the numbers for the birds front seven are even more impressive. get this. they have allowed just 394 total yards on the grown. the fewest an eagles defense has allowed in 63 years. leading the charge is linebacker, nigel bradham. he earns our spotlight. >> this is a great job not letting him get out of bounds. bradham showing off that athletic ability. >> last year, you led the line backers with 99 tackles. right now, you are leading the line backers. what is it about this defense that fits you so well? >> i would say the ability to be able to play fast. >> there is a third and nine. >> comfortable and get aggressive. all of this time, you are going about your job, doing what you are supposed to do. all of the sudden, last week, you make a big splash. now, everybody is talking about nigel br nigel bra nigel branham. >> a great feeling. i feel like as a defense, we really played well as a whole defense that game. i felt like it wasn't just me. we continue to bring energy throughout that whole game. i felt like that was the whole focus for that game. i felt like the whole defense was the mvp of that game. >> they are able to get a hit on cam newton. the ball pops up. johnmy on t johnny on the spot. >> how big is that for you, the guys on the second level of the defense? >> we love it, man. we make sure we have got to take care of those guys. they really are unbelievable up front. i feel like we get a front row seat we have some monsters out there. those guys deserve a lot of credit. they opened up lanes for us to make plays. that's what's been going on. we have been doing a great job. >> he steals it and hits his target. look at that first for the touchdown. >> two weeks in a row, you guys get the national spotlight. thursday night, everybody was watching you guys. monday night football, everybody will be

playing on nights like this in a big game like this, conference on the line, division on the line. it is kind of like everything you dream of. it feels like a great game. >> thank you very much. have a good game monday night. >> thank you. >> a hall of fame night awaits the birds' latest hall-of-famer. fletcher cox repeated history in last thursday's win over the panthers. we'll examine the best of fletch when "eagles game day kickoff" returns. here we go. the ball is spotted. it is kicked. scored! >> yes, merrill, it is good. good for the birds that tomorrow night in the halftime ceremony, the eagles will induct david akers into their hall of fame. akers spent 12 years with the birds and leads the franchise in games played and points scored. he was voted the all decade kicker for the 2000s in the entire nfl. it is a tremendous honor. one not lost on jake elliot. >> really, really cool. he swung by earlier today. i had a chance to stalk to him a little bit. that was a really cool experience. kind of able to pick his brain a little bit and here what ar wha to sayment someday, the eagles hope that fletcher cox joins akers in the team hall of fame. in the here and now, fletcher is a foundation piece of the eagles franchise. with a closer examination of the man in the middle, we go to john clark and mike quick. >> thanks a lot, danny. we saw the influence fletcher cox could have on a football game. he had a lot of pressures. so did brandon graham. they are quite a combo getting after the quarterback. >> you are going to block these two guys. >> he steps up. he is hit. eagles have him back across the 45 yard line. >> watch him push this center all the way back and to the left of cam newton while the pocket just crashes around it. you just can't block him. when you have brandon graham coming off the edge, it is really tough for this offense specially on their right side. they are only able to put one man on fletcher cox. you can't win that way. >> they are getting that push off the middle that helps the end and how about the game-clinching play in washington earlier this season. it was fletcher cox and brandon graham. >> back again goes cousins. picked up on top. he is into the end zone. flushed out, eagles. >> again, 101, fletcher, why should the job he does in wiping the hand of this guard and getting right behind him and into the quarterback's face? this is an outstanding job. kirk cousins has nowhere to go but to try and eat the football. this is just great football, outstanding play by that defense. >> we are seeing the defense closing out games in the fourth quarter, a big improvement from last year. >> as much as you want to see the offense score points, it is the defense that wins championships. i love it when the defense is able to close out games. >> thanks a lot. back to you, danny. >> cox and graham's "d" line, he said he will donate the rest of his checks for educational equality. he made that decision when he visited an association that gives kids a better chance at an education. he is attempting to help bridge america's educational gap. still to come -- >> i'm kevin eubanks. stay tuned. we want to judge some celebrations with the eagles, really hot stuff, whether it is too short, too long, really hot, cold. some of them look like pilots that could be a series. stay tuned to help us out. >> fans have been reliving eagles celebrations. now, we'll do it with an eagles super fan. that's next when eagles game day kickoff returns. are eagles helped build boats to help and provide for underserved children in philadelphia. this was all part of the nfl's 19th annual league-wide day of service done in conjunction with united way. rodney mcleod was wired for sound last week. he was excited to see patrick robinson make a huge play. >> when any of us make a play, i think we are all excited for one another, specially in the d.b. room. >> another d.b., jaylen mills, got a pick late in the third quarter. he helped set it up. a picture perfect finish for the d.b.s and a message for this defense. >> we kind of wanted to set the tone and match their energy and we did that on thursday. rodney was certainly celebrating those interceptions last thursday. celebrations have become a staple the last few weeks on the field and in the locker room. they have carried over to the fans. >> for example, after last week, malcolm jenkins was stepping in the panthers locker room, that made bashir shoot this viral video of his pops trying to do the dance. when torrey smith and his teammates made like read hoskins, andrew and his crew decided they could go too. the players and the fans are having a little fan. who better to break down the fun than the man who spent 15 years on "the tonight show," philadelphia's own kevin eubanks. >> i'm kevin eubanks. huge eagles fan. we are actually celebrating. we are going to go through them and we are not going to judge them too harshly. he falls backwards. >> the next eagle is great. i was a little nervous. it was right on the corner there. it was like, don't lose the ball there out of bounds. don't step out of bound. that was nice when he fell back. he didn't get injured. we are celebrating and it was fun. it was in the flow of the game. i think it was really nice. >> he is going deep! it is at the 20, the 15, the 10, the 5, touchdown! the bomb. >> he is at bad, in baseball, the pitch comes, home run. i don't know that was kind of long. i don't know. we might have to edit some of that. that's a long celebration. we always like to see the whole team celebrating but we got to tighten it up. >> taken off. look at that first for the touchdown. he hand the ball off to the center, jason kelsey, and says, you do the honors. >> was that a team spike? i've never seen that before, a team spike. i plof that there. they a i think it should be more of that. they should give a little bit more of the glamour to the guys that are in the trenches and making the passes to be so heroic and wonderful. >> i love the celebration. i would like to see it later on in the season. then, i would give it like elbows up, hands-up, high-five, thumbs, everything. if we have that kind of celebration because we have home field advantage and we kick butt in the first round of the playoffs, that's what i want to see. still to come -- >> he is easily the most remarkable human being i have ever met. >> eagles safety, malcolm jenkins, has combined excellence on the football field with a commitment to a city off of it. we'll detail a busy week

workforce and provides them with a suit to help with employment. >> giving guys a second chance is vitally important. the rate of people going back to prison is too high. that's because we don't give them an opportunity to become active, productive citizens once they have served their time. >> unfortunately, the way our society is set up, once you have a record, it becomes very, very difficult for you to get employment, to get voting rights, to get housing, education, all of those things are difficult when you have a record. menzfit clients got their chance to be the stars among stars as they

met. one thing most people forget about him, he is only 29 years old. the amount of stuff he takes on on top of being a husband and a father, it is phenomenal. >> i want to be able to continue to put our best foot forward and change the stereotypes we have about people who have criminal records or people who have made mistakes before and give these people the best opportunity that they can have to really have success. >> jacqueline london, nbc 10 news. we are out of time on this addition of "eagles game day" kicks off, we appreciate you for watching. enjoy watching and philadelphia under the
