At 7-1, the Philadelphia Eagles are rolling and look like the clear-cut favorites to win the NFC for a second consecutive season in a row.
The Eagles have one of the most talented and deep rosters in the league and look like a team on a mission to prove that they’re worthy of another Super Bowl championship.
The defense has taken a little bit of a slip in the secondary, but the front seven is as dominant as ever with Fletcher Cox and Jalen Carter dominating opposing offensive lines.
However, the offense has started to find its groove in the past month as the team gets more comfortable under offensive coordinator Brian Johnson.
Jalen Hurts looks much more adept as a passer, while A.J. Brown is proving to be one of the best wideouts in the league today.
When looking at Philadelphia’s success, former tight end Greg Olsen couldn’t help but give praise to the passing game via FOX.

Olsen notes that even though the Eagles have a great offensive line that can create lanes for the running game and hold leads, the passing game has really taken off.
Hurts has taken another leap as a passer and it helps when he’s got great weapons in Devonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Brown.
Often times last season, Hurts resorted to using his legs and moving the chains himself but this season he looks more confident sitting in the pocket and waiting for his downfield threats to get open for explosive plays.
The evolution of Philadelphia’s passing game has made them an even bigger threat and fans have to be thrilled with the results.
