2018 NFL Power Rankings Week 5: Eagles miss out on chance to take down Titans

13. Philadelphia Eagles

Sunday will most likely be one of those games in which the Eagles look back, and realize they should have ended up winning since the opportunities were there on numerous occasions, both in regulation and overtime. However, all Philadelphia can do is move on from the loss, and prepare for what should be another tough battle in Week 5 against a Minnesota Vikings team looking for revenge.

They may never admit it, but Vikings fans will never get over what took place last January when considering their beloved team was expected to defeat the Eagles in the NFC Championship instead of being on the wrong end of a blowout. And even though the circumstances are different since Kirk Cousins will be under center, this may actually benefit Minnesota with his history of facing Philadelphia.

Without question, the Eagles will need their cornerbacks to step up their game since Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen are going to see plenty of targets like they always do each week, as two of the most dangerous receivers in the NFL. Hopefully after their disaster in Tennessee, Jim Schwartz helps Philadelphia makes the right adjustments to turn things around on defense to put the team in better position to avoid falling below .500 on the year.
