Bowen: Eagles were fit to be tied in last visit to Cincinnati

IF JORDAN MATTHEWS' ankle doesn't allow him to play, or to play effectively, Sunday at Cincinnati, we could be looking at a low-scoring game.

Say, something like, oh, I don't know, a 13-13 tie.

"I understood it, but when you're in it . . . You just think there has to be an end," with a winner declared, Eagles director of player engagement Quintin Mikell said Friday. "I just remember going, 'Wow. That's crazy.' "

Mikell was the Eagles' strong safety on Nov. 16, 2008, the team's last regular-season visit to Cincinnati, when a raw, wind-blown day ended with each team totaling 13 points.
