After two weeks of action, the Philadelphia Eagles have plenty of major threats within the NFC.

While the Philadelphia Eagles have every reason in the world to still feel frustrated over their Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the good news is this was only one game, and there’s still plenty of time remaining to get back on top of the NFC.

Of course, this is always easier said than done for a team like the Eagles since they are not only facing the pressure of continuing to be a serious threat in the NFC, but also have plenty of teams from the conference standing in their way.

By earning another trip to the playoffs one year after earning their first Super Bowl title in franchise history, Philadelphia knew early on they would be playing with targets on their backs throughout the 2019 season.

When looking at the talent Doug Pederson is fortunate enough to work with on both sides of the football, the Eagles have every reason to believe earning a trip to the playoffs for a third year in a row is possible, but also will continue to be challenging.

Between all of the injuries Philadelphia dealt with in Week 2 on top of the teams that remain undefeated heading into the third week of action, the NFC is already shaping up for a fun next couple of months when it comes to the playoff picture.

Even though it’s only been two weeks, it’s never too early to consider the biggest threats for the Eagles within the NFC at the moment, so it’s time to jump right in on the discussion.
