PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles are 5-9, have glaring weaknesses and several holes to fill during the offseason.Still, they may not be too far away based on six losses in one-score games.Every NFL team can play the what if game and come up with more wins, but the Eagles could point to one play that wouldve changed the outcome in five different losses.It seems like it comes down to one or two plays every game, Carson Wentz said. We just need to keep building on our success.The play that will stand out most occurred Sunday in a 27-26 loss at Baltimore. If Wentz connected with Jordan Matthews across the middle on a win-or-lose 2-point conversion attempt with 4 seconds left, the Eagles win 28-27 instead.Same story last week in a 27-22 loss to Washington. If Wentz throws a touchdown pass from the Redskins 14 instead of losing a fumble on the final drive, the Eagles wouldve won.In Week 9, Wentz threw four straight incomplete passes from the Giants 17 with under two minutes left in a 28-23 loss. He just missed Matthews in the end zone on his last pass in that one. One completion equals a win.A week earlier, the Eagles blew a 10-point, fourth-quarter lead in a 29-23 overtime loss at Dallas. If coach Doug Pederson allowed Caleb Sturgis to try a 51-yard field goal with 6:34 left and he connected -- Sturgis made one from 55 earlier in the game -- instead of punting away, perhaps Philadelphia wins that game.In Week 5, Ryan Mathews fumbled after running for a first down with the Eagles leading the Lions and 2:34 left. If Mathews secures the ball, the Eagles couldve run out the clock and won that one.But none of those plays went Philadelphias way so they are what their record says they are, as Bill Parcells once said.It was a couple of plays here and there, linebacker Nigel Bradham said. It seems like its been like that the last few weeks for us. Weve got to win these close games. Its something we havent done this season. Weve been in all the games, pretty much. Weve just got to win these close ones. Thats all it is.The Eagles have no time to dwell on what-ifs or a five-game losing streak. They have to get back to work and prepare for a home game against the Giants (10-4) on Thursday night.We got a quick turnaround, Wentz said. We just have to move on from this one as quickly as we can and get ourselves ready to go.Game notes Pederson said he plans to start RT Lane Johnson vs. the Giants. Johnson was reinstated Monday after serving a 10-game suspension for violating the leagues policy on performance enhancing drugs. ...

AUBURN, Ala. -- Daniel Carlson knows hell miss a field goal at some point.It just hasnt happened in a while for the player who has emerged as the surest bet on Auburns team, a kicker who supplied all of the Tigers scoring in a much-needed win over LSU.Carlson tied an Auburn and Southeastern Conference record with six field goals in that 18-13 victory and hasnt missed in 12 attempts this season, plus his final one last season. That 13-kick streak puts him three marks shy of his own school record 16 in a row set last season. He has been the biggest bright spot on a team that is 2-2 entering Saturdays game with Louisiana-Monroe (1-2) and has drawn an unusual amount of attention for a kicker.Its been a lot of fun, but Im just a part of this team, Carlson said. I know my role is just to help out this team, and its a role that I can be the hero or the goat. If I keep making kicks, it goes well. But once I start missing kicks, people are going to question, `Hey, whats he doing? Thats why I enjoy it. There is a lot of pressure, but that makes it exciting. When you do well, that makes it really fun.In that case, hes having a blast this season.A Lou Groza Award finalist as a sophomore last season, Carlson has missed only once in his last 30 attempts. He even ran for a touchdown on a fake field goal against Arkansas State.Carlson has been especially important to Auburn because the offense has struggled to reach the end zone, and also because the Tigers dont have to get all that close for Carlson to have a good shot at three points.He has seven career fiield goals of 50 yards or more, including a 53-yarder this season against Clemson and a 51-yarder in the LSU game.dddddddddddd Carlson has missed only once from that range.Hes a game-changer. Hes a weapon, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. Youve got confidence to let him kick it 50-plus. Theres not a whole lot of coaches that have that luxury.Carlsons last 17 kickoffs have resulted in touchbacks -- and one fumbled attempt to field it by a photographer behind the end zone against LSU that made the rounds on social media.Dont try to catch his kicks, Malzahn advised.The coach said he might let Carlson attempt a 60-yarder at some point this season. Carlson said hes made a couple of 70-yarders at home in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and in practice at Auburn.He wound up at Auburn in a roundabout way. His parents attended the University of Alabama and his grandparents live in Trussville, outside Birmingham, and steadfastly root for the Crimson Tide, though Carlson says theyll come and cheer for me every once in a while.My dad came over from Sweden. I didnt want to stay in Colorado, Carlson said. They ended up living in Colorado just because they couldnt figure out whether to live in Europe or Alabama. I grew up watching SEC football. When I got in contact with Auburn and visited, I just fell in love with it.If he hadnt, Auburn would be in much worse shape this season.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
