This was supposed to be a rematch between two of the favorites in the NFC. Instead, the matchup is between two reeling teams that are trying to find their identities in 2018.
The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles appear to have a bit of a Super Bowl hangover. They looked out of sorts for most of the preseason, and it has bled through to the opening of the regular season. Philadelphia has sputtered to a 2-2 record at the quarter mark. After inching past the Falcons in Week 1 and a surprise loss to Fitzmagic and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 2, the Eagles seemed to be back on track with the return of Carson Wentz and a home victory over the Colts in Week 3.
