12. Philadelphia Eagles (2-3)

Folks, it's time to panic with the Philadelphia Eagles. This team is not rebounding from this brutal start. While a 2-3 record is far from an 'it's all over' start, the Eagles personnel issues are glaring. The team is banged up, the offensive line is now a shell of its former self, and the QB's weaknesses will continue to be on full display.

And we're still wondering just how good of a coach (if he even is one) Nick Sirianni is. With the team having traded Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens recently, some have wondered if this could be the beginning of a mini teardown.

The Eagles have not been able to find any sort of consistency on the offensive side of the ball, and with AJ Brown no longer in the picture, and key players banged up, the unit is going to continue to rank near the bottom of the league the rest of the way.

And I am not sure the defense is all that great, either. Philly feels like they're trending toward a 7-10 season, and if that does occur, we may actually begin to see some major changes taking place.

11. Dallas Cowboys (2-3)

The Dallas defense is again atrocious, folks. Hopefully, this isn't another lost season given this brutal reality, as the offense continues to be awesome. In an ideal world, the Cowboys figure something out on defense, finish the year as a league average unit, and roll into the playoffs with a modest 10-7 record.

If that happens, things are pointing up, but for now, the team just doesn't feel like a threat at all, and the 2-3 start could indicate that the 2026 season is again going to produce mediocre results. The Cowboys are outside our top-10.
