The Eagles are for real.
That’s the consensus of national sports writers around the country, who continue to heap praise on the Eagles’ surprising undefeated start.
“The Eagles are going to win [the NFC East],” Sports Illustrated's MMQB columnist Peter King told SportsRadio 94.1 WIP’s Angelo Cataldi earlier this week, based mostly on the stout defense built by new coordinator Jim Schwartz. “The Philadelphia Eagles have scored 29, 29, and 34 points in their three games so far… they’ve only allowed 27 points. In every game, they’ve outscored the opposition collectively this year. This is as much a defensive team right now — a team that will win with defense — as a team that will be explosive on offense.
