Few people seriously expected the Philadelphia Eagles to go into Foxboro and defeat the New England Patriots. Yet that's somehow what happened on Sunday, as the Birds upset the Tom Brady-led squad 35-28 in thrilling fashion.
The question now is, what does this mean exactly?
Well, it means the Eagles are not out of the playoff race. Depending on what happens in Washington's game against Dallas on Monday, there could be a virtual tie for first place in the NFC East, with the division's playoff spot still on the line—not at all what you would expect for a team with a 5-7 record.
