The Philadelphia Eagles are on their bye week, which means they won't be playing a game this weekend. At 3-4 overall with a 1-2 record against the division, the Eagles sit in third place in the NFC East.

The problem with the Eagles in recent years has been their defense, but that isn't the case in 2015. With a revamped secondary with new starters like Nolan Carroll, Byron Maxwell and Walter Thurmond III, the defense gives up only 19.
