Doug Pederson talks his message to the Eagles ahead of the bye week and more

The Eagles had an impressive win over the Bears at home on Sunday, and head coach Doug Pederson spoke to the media afterward about the state of the team. As they head into the bye week, there’s a lot to evaluate, but there are also more players expected to return after the break.
