2. PHILADELPHIA LOSES QUARTERBACK MICHAEL VICK TO CONCUSSION AS EAGLES LOSE FIVE STRAIGHT FOR FIRST TIME UNDER ANDY REID
Sunday’s 38-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys make is increasingly likely that Reid won’t be back to coach the Eagles for a 15th season.
3. SUSPECTS SHOT IN SEPARATE INCIDENTS INVOLVING POLICE IN PHILDELPHIA, PITTSBUGH
Philadelphia police say they fatally shot a man who pointed a gun at officers just after midnight. In Pittsburgh, police say the driver of a car who dragged an officer about 100 yards had surgery after he was shot several times late Sunday.
