Looking back, could it be that we read this Philadelphia Eagles team wrong? The ‘Birds’ made significant personnel moves in the offseason like the signing of defensive tackle Javon Hargrave in free agency and trading for cornerback Darius Slay. They also aggressively targeted the wide receiver position in the draft and came out of the process with three rookies.
The 2020 Eagles looked solid on paper, it surely seemed like their roster was better than it was last season when they finished with a 9-7 record and made it to the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs.
