It didn’t take long last year for it to become clear that the Eagles were, quite clearly, the best team in the NFC.
They dominated the best teams the conference had to offer, first in their divisional round laugher against the Giants and then their runaway NFC Championship Game victory against San Francisco. With an insanely deep roster and top level play at QB, only a slippery field and a boneheaded game plan by their former defensive coordinator prevented them from hoisting their second Lombardi Trophy in six seasons.
So much of that advantage was thanks to Jalen Hurts’ ridiculous play at quarterback, so thoroughly the best in the NFC last season.
