NFL evaluators make picks on Week 8’s best games - ESPN In$ider
The Eagles have their own issues. Much focus is on the cornerback spot, and rightfully so. But their Total QBR is down from an elite 78.1 at this point last season to a league-average 57.3 so far, while their defense has actually improved its QBR allowed, from 52.5 through seven games last season to 46.7 so far in 2018. Based on ESPN’s expected-points efficiency metrics, the offense and special teams have fallen off much more this season than the defense has fallen off. Looking more closely, this Eagles team isn’t getting the long touchdown passes that helped turn games last season.
