A popular Northampton County wedding venue was badly damaged in a Sunday morning fire. A fire that began a bit before 8:30am damaged the Chelsea Sun Inn in Mount Bethel. James Howard owns the facility and says he'll renovate and expects it to look as good, if not better. "We reconnecting with some of the guys that originally built the Chelsea Sun Inn to come and rejoin the team to help with this renovation project, to come and help expedite it," Howard says. While he doesn't know how long it will take to repair the building, Howard says most of the venue is undamaged and wedding planned before those renovations will not have to be rescheduled. Howard says any of those weddings will be shifted over to the unaffected area of the facility. Firefighters aren't yet sure what caused the fire, which took about two hours to contain.

The Philadelphia Eagles have existed since 1933. Nobody has ever run for more yards in a game than Saquon Barkley did last night. In addition to 47 receiving yards, the former Whitehall High School and Penn State star ran for 255 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Eagles' 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams. After the game, Barkley credited his offensive line. "It goes up front. The guys up front did an excellent job.

The Eagles are now 9-2 and have won seven straight.
