It would be easy to press the panic button right now–it is Philly, after all–but with the Rams and Giants as the Eagles’ next two opponents, I’d be fairly surprised if the Eagles don’t creep back into most people’s top five’s over the next few weeks. They get back Lane Johnson this week, and once they get back a hopefully healthy duo of Evan Mathis and Jason Kelce around week 10 or 11, the offense (mainly the running-game) should open back up again. The next four or five games have become a lot more about just treading water for the Eagles than trying to prove they are an elite NFC power. . (3-1). Previous: . Eagles. 7. team. 54
