Week 5 Result: Won vs. Tampa Bay 31-25
The start to the Eagles’ season could have easily been far more difficult than Philadelphia has made it look. Between the Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, none of them are pushovers. All four could easily be playoff teams once we reach the end of this season. Yet the Eagles found ways to win against all of them.
How Philadelphia continues to show up week in and week out, when the dreaded Super Bowl hangover could have taken root, is impressive unto itself. The Eagles have a strong recipe for continued success built upon a strong offensive line, talented run game, weapons at wide receivers and a defense with playmakers at every level. Whatever argument a person wants to make for or against Jalen Hurts as quarterback, he’s more than good enough to lead this squad, which has a real chance at back-to-back titles. – Sobleski
