NFL Midseason Report Card: What Grade Did the Philadelphia Eagles Get?
The NFL has pretty much reached its midway point of the season, as we head into Week 9. Of course, the Philadelphia Eagles have delivered on the goods. They’re sitting at 7-0 right now.
Jeff Kerr at CBS Sports has released his tally grading each NFL team on their performance so far. So, where does Philly sit?
The Eagles have an “A+” grade. It doesn’t get any better than that!
Kerr states, “Philadelphia is the lone unbeaten team in the NFL, finding not only a franchise quarterback in Jalen Hurts — but an MVP candidate. A.J. Brown has lived up to the hype since he was brought into Philadelphia, the dynamic pass catcher this offense sorely lacked last year.”
He adds, “The Eagles have 16 takeaways and two giveaways. The offense is a top-three unit in scoring and yards per game, while the defense is top four in points and yards per game allowed. Philadelphia has led by double digits in every game and defeated its biggest threats in the NFC in Minnesota and Dallas. The Eagles are one of the three best teams in the NFL. They’re scary good.”
