Sports Notebook: Andy Reid’s Eagles drop game to Cardinals
The following are odds and ends from the local sports scene.
REID, EAGLES FALL TO CARDINALS
After becoming the first team in the history of the NFL to start a season with a pair of one-point victories, the Philadelphia Eagles — coached by former Glendale Community College football player Andy Reid — suffered a 27-6 road loss Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Philadelphia, which entered the contest with the league’s best offense, trailed, 24-0, at halftime. The Eagles committed three turnovers to raise their season total to 12.
“They played better than we did, clearly better,” Reid told the Associated Press. “They coached better, they played better and that is my responsibility. I didn’t have my football team ready to play and they did.”
Philadelphia will next meet the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants at home at 5:20 p.m. PDT Sunday.
HUH PLACES 29TH IN EVENT
John Huh, a Crescenta Valley High graduate and rookie on the PGA Tour, finished 29th in a field of 30 on Sunday in the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola at East Lake Golf Course in Atlanta.
Huh carded a seven-over-par 77 during Sunday’s final round to finish with a four-round score of 294. Huh earned $129,600.
Brandt Snedeker won the event with a 270, besting Justin Rose by three strokes.
