Through the years, Batman’s origins have been told ad nauseum in the comics, on TV and on the silver screen: Bruce Wayne’s parents were murdered in a dark alley, sparking his never-ending quest for vengeance against the criminal element as “The Caped Crusader.” The Eagles’ Batmans origin story is … not quite that grim.

In 2015, Murray finished well below the mark that made him the league’s leading rusher the season before when he was in Dallas. In fact, the entire Eagles team took a step back in the rushing department, and while offensive lineman Jason Kelce doesn’t place all the blame on Murray, he did take a slight shot at him.

Down to their third choice under center, the Redskins faded late and lost 28-13. Sanchez went 13 of 21 passing for 100 yards and an interception. The Eagles endured several shaky moments even after McCoy went down, from the 90-yard Adrian Peterson touchdown they allowed to a red zone turnover by quarterback Carson Wentz. Ultimately, though, they did enough to get back to .500. STEELE: Packers-Mike McCarthy split came not a moment too soon...
The game was close in the first half, but Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia offense took over in the second half. It was another spectacular performance for the Houston native (21-of-27 passing, 243 yards, two TDs, zero INTs; nine rushes, 23 yards). Texans quarterback Davis Mills started well but then threw two rough interceptions in the second half to sink his team’s hopes of an upset. The loss dropped Lovie Smith’s squad to 1-6-1 on the season, currently the second-worst record in the NFL (ahead of only the 1-6 Lions)....

When functioning properly, your immune system recognizes viruses, bacteria, and fungi as dangerous invaders. It then creates specialized cells to destroy them. In autoimmune diseases, it wrongly identifies a healthy tissue or substance as something dangerous. It then attacks and tries to destroy it....
But wait just a moment. Thanks to trades both large (Dwight Howard) and small (Arnett Moultrie), as many as 15 of the 30 first-round picks in this year’s draft could wind up elsewhere, depending on how the standings shake out. And with some early-season surprises have come some potential shakeups in how much impact this draft will have for certain franchises. Have a look: Big market blues If you’re wondering why the cupboard seems so bare in what should be the best market in the league — New York — then you need to consider how little the two franchises there value the draft....

Earnhardt and other drivers called Sunday’s Daytona 500 one of the most intense races they have ever run, and the whole sport is riding a wave of momentum following Earnhardt’s dramatic win. “It was electric, man,” Earnhardt said. “I don't know what the hell was going on or why it was like that. I wish I knew because that's what NASCAR wants to bottle and sell.” After a race in which Earnhardt said, “the intensity level was at a max,” what can NASCAR do for an encore?...
NASCAR announced Thursday that it would require drivers to take the ImPACT test before the season and the test would be used to help clear a driver who suffers a concussion. Earnhardt did not inform NASCAR personnel of his concussions as he was quickly treated following the first accident at an August tire test at Kansas Speedway, and then was not looked at by medical personnel following an Oct. 7 wreck at Talladega....
Earnhardt set off a wild celebration Sunday night by winning the Daytona 500 to snap a 55-race winless streak dating back to 2012. Earnhardt won the Daytona 500 in 2004, but had finished second in the race in three of the past four seasons. Though he is always a contender at Daytona, his second Daytona 500 victory was somewhat unexpected given his struggles to win races in recent years. "I can't believe it," Earnhardt shouted over his team radio as his legion of fans erupted into a raucous celebration in the grandstands after he took the checkered flag....

At least the problem came early in the race....
