Daily News | A soft schedule and an awful NFC should have the Eagles thinking Super Bowl
. Not only did they humiliate a Vikings team that had just humiliated Aaron Rodgers. Not only did they watch their disrespected quarterback run for two touchdowns and throw for another in the best performance of his career. The Eagles also happened to do all of this on a night that began with their fan base listening to people crown the Bills as Super Bowl favorites for blowing out the Titans.
Look, I’m not saying that this is the Eagles’ year. The silliest thing about any Super Bowl chatter is that very little has changed about their situation. Two weeks into the NFL season, the Eagles are exactly where everybody should have expected them to be when the whole thing began. They’ve played two games against two noodle-armed quarterbacks and two defenses that ranked in the bottom four in the NFL in total yardage allowed last season. They have won both of those games.
No doubt, the Rams and Bucs remain the rightful favorites. Anybody who thinks otherwise doesn’t fully grasp how well-coached they are. Sean McVay has a ring and two NFC championships. His only playoff losses in between were to teams that were quarterbacked by Rodgers and Brady while his was quarterbacked by Jared Goff. The Bucs have Todd Bowles calling the defensive plays and Zombie Jon Snow under center.
