2018 NFL Power Rankings Week 5: Eagles miss out on chance to take down Titans
By Dan Parzych
The Philadelphia Eagles took another fall in the 2018 NFL Power Rankings for Week 5 following a tough loss to the Tennessee Titans.
When it comes to the 2018 NFL Power Rankings, the Philadelphia Eagles have been on a bit of a roller coaster over the last couple of weeks since they would look impressive one week, only to struggle the next. Unfortunately, it looks like that roller coaster ride is going to continue heading into Week 5 after the team is coming off a tough loss in overtime to the Tennessee Titans, despite all of the missed opportunities to close them out.
Whether it was allowing the Titans to convert three times on fourth down during the final drive or the offense failing to find the end zone on numerous occasions while settling for field goals instead, there were numerous reasons behind the Eagles’ second loss of the season. All of a sudden, the race in the NFC East appears to be wide open since Philadelphia is no longer in first place since their 2-2 record drops them to second with the Dallas Cowboys while the Washington Redskins, who were on a bye week, sit on top.
