NASHVILLE — Welcome to the first real crisis of Doug Pederson's head coaching career. Yes, it is still early enough in the season to shake off whatever ails the Eagles, but they are 2-2 and heading into a scheduling stretch that will define this edition of the team.
It is only a crisis because Sunday's overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans was so out of character for the Eagles. Or, at least, that's supposed to be the case. Seasons end, however, and new ones begin and the reality that existed before can become a mirage.
