3 keys to a Philadelphia Eagles win in Week 2? Creativity, creativity, creativity.

As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to take the field for their home opener against the Los Angeles Rams, the team collectively has to grasp just how unique of a situation they are entering.

For the first time in, well, ever, the team will be playing without a single fan in attendance at Lincoln Financial Field, and after entering the season with maybe a bit too overinflated expectations, lost their first game of the season to a division rival without a name.

Think about that for a second; there won’t even be tailgaters. Weird.

And for what it’s worth, it’s not like the Eagles are in for an easy outing against some cakewalk of a team. That was last week but *sigh*, I digress.

While it looks like the Eagles will *thankfully* have Miles Sanders, Lane Johnson, Javon Hargrave, and maybe even Derek Barnett back for the home opener, that doesn’t neutralize the fact that Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Jalen Ramsey, and company are coming to town off a scorching hot Sunday night football performance against the Dallas Cowboys.

Say what you will about the Birds’ 2020 division rivals, but they certainly aren’t going to be finishing out the season 2-14.

But what about the Eagles? Do they have any chance at all of beating the Rams when they couldn’t even defeat Washington? And if so, what do they need to do to improve their chances considerably? Well, read on, my friends, for I have three keys to a Week 2 win over Los Angeles.
