Back in 1996, the Eagles got off to a 7-2 start and looked like one of the best teams in the league. Unfortunately, the team went 3-4 down the stretch. Wide receiver Irving Fryar said one of the issues that team had was that they went from being the hunter to the hunted. They began the season chasing after the Dallas Cowboys, who had won the NFC East for four straight years and were also defending Super Bowl champs. The Eagles beat Dallas 31-21 in Week 10 to get their record to 7-2. The Eagles lost their edge and weren't the same the rest of the year.
