The Eagles’ 34-13 romp over the Giants was both relieving and fun, and it was also a microcosm of why despite a rough start, the Eagles should be in good shape for the rest of the season. A few key things were happening at unsustainable rates, it was only a matter of time before they regressed to normal levels. In other areas, the season being a marathon rather than a sprint is starting to benefit the Eagles.
Turnovers
In their first five games the Eagles lost seven fumbles. 11 teams didn’t lose that many all of last season, and only three teams in the past five years have lost more than 15 in a season.
