9. team. 54. . . Previous: 7th. Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles struggled at first, but as an purely objective fan of the game it is fun to see Carson Wentz playing really well.

He and Desean Jackson look like a great tandem and with Jackson surrounded by Alshon Jeffery, Dallas Goedert, and Zach Ertz I think the Eagles quietly have one of the best combinations of QB and weapons in the NFL.

What concerns me most about the Eagles is (and this feels so weird to say) the lack of a pass rush that can get home. Derek Barnett, Timmy Jernigan and Fletcher Cox are winning their matchups and that is a good sign, but those hits and pressures have to turn into sacks.

I think the DBs are a big concern and after allowing 3 TDs and nearly 400 yards to Case Keenum, they better hope they get that fixed before they have to face a team like the Dallas Cowboys.
