With a loss to the Saints on Sunday, the Eagles have painted themselves into a corner and only have one more chance to lock up the No. 1 seed. RoobNBCS of NBCSPhilly shares his observations:
I said this week I had a lot of faith in Gardner Minshew and that I consider him one of the two or three best backups in the NFL. I was wrong. I was really wrong. He was terrible.
Whatever else is going on with this team, this front generates ferocious pressure that keeps them in games. The Eagles will obviously miss Josh Sweat as long as he’s out, but they are so deep and so versatile and so productive. They’ve been particularly effective lately, with an absurd 32 sacks in the last five games. That’s three more than they had in 17 games all last year. Last week they became the first team in NFL history with six sacks in four straight games. That’s five straight now.
