Daily News | Eagles-Colts predictions: Our beat writers make their picks for Week 11
The Eagles’ first hiccup of the season has led to some extra scrutiny for Gannon’s scheme and the team’s ability to stop the run. That ability will be put to the test once again this weekend against the talented Colts running back Jonathan Taylor.
Perhaps the season-high 207 rushing yards Indy managed in the interim head coach Saturday’s first game at the helm is a harbinger for things to come. What’s more likely is the Eagles defensive front takes the first step toward shoring up its run defense at Lucas Oil Stadium. If the Eagles can contain the run, they should be able to apply plenty of pressure to Ryan and contain the passing game.
For this game, though, the Eagles still have plenty of favorable matchups and a talent advantage. Winning on the road is never a cakewalk, but the Eagles should have a sense of urgency after getting buried by a comedy of errors against the Commanders. Expect this to resemble most of the Eagles’ games this season: An early lead, a handful of sacks, and another win.The vibe inside the Eagles locker room on Monday night following their first lost of the season was…interesting.
