>> eagles sitting pretty perched high atop the nfc. >> they got a tough one sunday. they'll take on the denver broncos at the linc. and here's jeff skversky and ron jaworski with this week's birds break down. >> ♪ >> thanks guys. we're here with the one and only ron jaworski talking eagles football. you have to love the way carson wentz is playing coming off the best month in eagles history, 14 touchdowns in october. >> it's hard to believe a second year quarterback with one year and eight games under his belt is playing at the level of carson wentz. he looks like awhilely old veteran right now. >> the denver broncos are coming for carson wentz. they have the number one defense in the league. this is a tough matchup for the eagles front. >> it really is. when you watch the denver broncos they like to bring blitz pressure. their foundation, their bedrock is getting after the quarterback. and this is an area where the eagles have been a little schizophrenic. carson wentz's eight touchdown passes when he's blitzed also

sacked 12 times. let me show you a couple of those times. this is an where the eagles must clean something up. the redskins brought pressure right up the middle. they did not want to give carson wentz a nice comfortable cradle to throw from. as we roll this tape, you will see this pocket collapse on carson wentz. one linebacker comes, one linebacker spies, they crush the pocket, ryan kerrigan gets the sac. you want to play quarterback. look at this. they're in your face quickly. the ball has to come out. that's an area carson wentz has to improve the temple with getting the ball out. the san francisco 49ers what they did last week, blitz pressure on carson wentz. one, two, three, four down line men, a linebacker, number five, and another linebacker, six rushers after carson wentz. now he's going to run the play action to legarrette blunt in the backup. what blunt has to do is get quickly to the linebacker

blitz and get a body on a body. he did not. carson wentz gets pushed out of the pocket and i hate this hit. this is what worries me. when the quarterback's shoulder gets driven into the ground his head smashed on the ground this is where injuries happen. when you see the quarterback get hit as much as carson wentz gets hit, i concern myself the injury factor. >> how much more vulnerable is carson because he extends plays with his legs. he gets out of the pocket and that's made him a great quarterback in this league yet he's taken those hits. >> jeff, i agree with you. what we love about carson wentz is the ability to extend the play, make plays outside of structure. he's been phenomenal with that but i always worry about the hits. the cumulative effect of a quarterback getting hit knocks you out of games. >> obviously lane johnson the right tackle said it felt like a loss last week. yeah, that's how badly the offensive line played. i'm going to ask you for your prediction this week against the denver broncos. who do you like in this game. >> tough hard fought game but i like the eagles 21-16. >> there you go. philadelphia eagles we're going to win this game according to jaws.

[laughter] >> as we take a look at the action cam, right along the delaware there, you can see the moshulu in the background with part of the center city skyline. filtered sun during the today but definitely a lot cloudier than yesterday but we did hold onto that warmth. as we take a look at the weather sent we have that eagles game on sunday in town again and the temperatures aren't going to be as warm as they were today or won't be as dry as it was today but still not horrible. we're not going to have that soaking rain like we had a week ago on sunday so mostly cloudy for the kickoff at 1:00 p.m., 64 degrees. and during the game, there may be some mist or drizzle at times, so may want to bring a poncho or some light rain gear in case.

temperatures aren't going to be chilly, it's not a cold, cold rain. 64 to 65 degrees which is technically about 5 degrees above normal for this time of year. as we look at the present numbers, we're starting to see that change arrive in those northwestern suburbs. we did hit 73 philadelphia, down to 72 right now. 75 millville. 74 in cape may. but you're starting to see some 60's popping up. lancaster reading, allentown and in fact, now at 50 degrees in mount pocono as a cold front is starting to push through. in fact, the front is not going to bring any rain here this evening. really it's just a wind shift from the southwest, that warm direction today to more of a north northeasterly direction as we get into the weekend. so you're going to notice those winds kick up and we start to feel those winds kick up and that cooler air coming in. you'll know that the front has passed through your neighborhood. so, the sky will gradually clear as that front sinks to the south and turning much cooler, in fact chilly by the morning in those northwestern

suburbs. 46 for the city and there's that north wind up to around 10 to 20 miles an hour. high pressure comes in behind it over new england on saturday, a fall chill at 59 degrees. a dry day. sun giving way to clouds in the afternoon. those clouds building because of a warm front to the north and west. so it's a really good weekend at least for tomorrow to get out if you want to check some of the foliage because we are peaking in the heart of the delaware valley right up to the lehigh valley, it is past peak in the poconos so don't head up there if you want to check out some of the foliage stay local and moderate fall foliage for south jersey as well as delaware, probably another half a week to a week to peep there. its this reminder. saturday night again turn those clocks back an hour before you head to bed. also, check the smoke detector batteries as we end daylight saving time and in fact on saturday night also we'll be watching some of the showers increase around 11 o'clock. about a 10 to a quarter of an

inch so not a lot of rain expected. you see some of those spitting showers on sunday morning. sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock again as that game is continuing and nearing the end, there still could be some of those showers or patchy drizzle around. in fact, another reminder on sunday the sun sets at 4: 4:54 p.m. yeah. anyway, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, 59 as those clouds build here tomorrow. a damp start, cloudy and with it being very cloudy and a little bit wet at times sunday, it may seem like the sun is setting by 4:30 because there will be no sun, 65 degrees and then warm with some afternoon showers developing with the next front on monday, 72. behind that front we go back to the 50 and we stay in the 50's. in fact, low 50's by friday of next week and that system that looked to bring rain here wednesday, sinks to the south so it's dry despite it is cool for next week. >> okay. sounds great. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> keep up with the changes yourself any time throughout the weekend right here on your

"action news" reporter trish hartman is live on thomas paine plaza across the street from city hall. trish, what's the story? >> reporter: well, jim, the city says the statue will be moved to a location that's still yet to be determined. we found folks on both sides, people who are happy about the news and people who say they plan to fight the decision. >> i don't think they should destroy it.

however i think they should not have a it have it in the center of the city. >> reporter: the statue will be moved from thomas paine plaza after receiving almost 4,000 responses from the public. frank rizzo served as commissioner of the philadelphia police department and was the city's mayor from 1972 to 1980. while he is known for decades of service to the city, many associate him with racism and minority oppression. calls for the statue's removal escalated this summer after a deadly white nationalist rally in charlottesville. the rizzo statue way egged and spray painted. a number of people we spoke with think the statue should stay. >> i think he did a great job for the city in the 70's but i'm from the 70's so i think he did a great job. >> reporter: jodi was rizzo's personal secretary for five years and knew him for decades. >> i knew him. he never said are you black, are they white are they democrat republican asian, hispanic? he helped everybody. >> reporter: she says the committee to keep the statue where it is
