If there is any reason left to question the legitimacy of the Eagles’ 9-1 record, it would be their schedule. Through 10 games, they have only played two teams that currently have winning records, which was tied with Seattle for the fewest in the NFL among the 13 teams that had a winning record before Monday night’s game between the Seahawks and Atlanta.
Pittsburgh and Carolina were tied for the most with five each.
That, of course, is not the Eagles’ fault. You play the games that are put in front of you and Doug Pederson’s team has played their first 10 better than any other team in the NFL.
