Through most of this season, the Philadelphia Eagles have been just there. They weren't bad. But they weren't great either.
The past couple weeks might have changed that. The Eagles have won their past two games, both on the road, by a combined score of 65-20. Their opponents were the New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals, a bad team and perhaps another bad team, but one sign of a good team is blowing out bad opponents. For two weeks the Eagles have done that.
The Eagles are suddenly 5-2, and if it hadn't been for one of the great Hail Mary plays of all time, they would be in first place of the NFC East.
