NFL Power Rankings, Week 9: 49ers embarrass Panthers, Eagles shock Bills
By Dan Parzych
10. Philadelphia Eagles (14)
The Philadelphia Eagles may be one of the most difficult teams to figure out, but at least the team found a way to bounce back with a strong win on the road against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8 to get back to .500 on the season.
Between suffering two tough losses in a row against the Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys to all of the drama in the locker room from this past week, the Eagles seemed like they would be in for a third loss in a row to the Bills.
Instead, Philadelphia found a way to put up 31 points against one of the league’s top defenses in Buffalo to show there may be some lift in this team after all when it comes to competing for a playoff spot in the NFC.
Obviously, the Eagles still have a long way to go in order for this to happen since this team is dealing with numerous injuries on both sides of the football, but hopefully this win over the Bills will give some sort of confidence boost.
With the Chicago Bears coming to town in Week 9, this will be another chance for Philadelphia to prove themselves worthy of competing with a top defense while hopefully keeping things close with Dallas in the process.
