For the second straight week, the Detroit Lions unanimously hold the No. 1 spot in NFL power rankings across the web. And while we love reading good things about our own team, I decided to treat this week’s power rankings a little differently. I wanted to look at a team that some are calling Detroit’s biggest threat on their road to the Super Bowl: the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles are riding a seven-game winning streak, and—like the Lions—they’ve had some blowout wins along the way: they beat the Giants 28-3, the Bengals 37-17, the Cowboys 34-6 and the Rams 37-20—and all four of those games came on the road.
