The casual conversation with Mychal Kendricks was about Philadelphia, and how much nicer of a place it is to live when the Eagles are winning. Kendricks shot a look like, Man, you aren't kidding.

"The vibe, people's moods, everything," said the linebacker on how the outcome of the game impacts this city. "There is even more crime when we lose...Look it up, it's a fact."

Crime goes up? Where was he getting this?

Kendricks explained that Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey visited the team prior to the 2012 season  and suggested that the city was a kinder, gentler place to live after an Eagles victory and that the streets were meaner following a loss.

"He basically said crime rates jump up significantly when we lose," Kendricks recalled. "He told us that, and I was like, 'Damn, if that's a real statistic, we better start winning.' "

We took Kendricks' advice and decided to look it up. More specifically, we contacted the Police Commissioner's office to see if they could provide any data that would potentially support this theory. In response, they listed for Birds 24/7  the number of arrests, by category, on days of 1 o'clock Eagles games dating back to the 2011 season. There were 24 games in all, 11 of which were wins and 13 losses.

In this particular sample size, there was no significant difference when it came to serious crimes. There was a noticeable spike in the number of disorderly conduct arrests on days the Eagles lost, however. There were 19 disorderly conducts cited after wins and 64 following a loss. In other words, the number of those kind of arrests/gameday nearly tripled on days of losses in this sample.

Interestingly, 25 of those 64 arrests on the day of a defeat (40 percent) came during the two home losses to the Giants.

The conclusion? Philly gets a little more ornery following a loss, especially when New Yorkers are in town to rub it in. Sounds about right.

Commissioner Ramsey also broke down the level of arrests across the NFL by position. This how they rank, from most prone to trouble to least, according to Kendricks (with an assist from Cary Williams):

1) Defensive linemen
2) Tight ends
3) Defensive backs
4) Receivers
5) Running backs
6) Linebackers
7) Offensive line
Quarterbacks
9) Special teams

'Kickers," quipped Casey Matthews, "are usually sticking to golf."

McManus and Kapadia are good writers

Nice read

[QB Eagles]

Longest active win streak in the NFL.

Didn't they win 4 games last year? This shtein feels like playing with house money.

Just saw that the full 5 of Peters - Mathis - Kelce - Herremans - Johnson have been on the field for 98% of the offensive snaps. Huge difference from last year where everyone was hurt and had to mix and match every drive. Even with Peters and Kelce healthy I don't think anyone thought the OL would be a strength like this.

Johnson started off the season pretty zesty but he's been much better since. Good to see he could adjust after being a steamy pile the first month+ of the season. Looking like a pretty good draft so far.
