Mammadov sent his son, Anar, to the U.S. in 2010 to develop business ties with U.S. companies. He spent lavishly but got no takers. It was well-known that the Mammadovs laundered money for the IRGC and were wildly corrupt. Only one American business worked with them. 3

Eagles tried to overcome: No QB1, no WR1, no WR2, no WR3, no RB1, no RT1, no RG1, and their starting tight end was playing with a lacerated kidney. And that's just on offense.

Zach Ertz said he did everything he could to play for the Eagles and the City of Philadelphia despite a kidney cut, broken rib and back injury. Ertz said he went to hospital + had blood in urine but healed quickly and was in good enough shape to play tonight.
