The Eagles are a fast-starting team that has outscored opponents in the first three quarters this season, 256-108. No team in the league has a bigger point-differential in the first three quarters.
Their average lead going into the fourth quarter during their nine-game winning streak has been 16 1/2 points. In the last four games, it’s been a hefty 22 1/2. They’ve essentially been using the final 15 minutes as a cool-down period.
On Sunday night, it would behoove the Eagles to follow that same season-long script and pack as large a lead as they can against the Seahawks heading into the fourth quarter, and then hold on tight for what could be a turbulent finish.
