12. Philadelphia Eagles (4-3)

With a rookie quarterback at the helm, it was only a matter of time before the Eagles came back down to Earth a bit. Carson Wentz hasn’t been terrible by any stretch of the imagination.

In fact, I’d take Wentz over half the other starters in this league right now. Since whipping the Steelers in September, the Eagles have dropped three of four games, including two divisional losses to the Redskins and Cowboys.

As the Eagles fall back to the rest of the pack at or near .500 now they are in for a real fight. After losing in overtime to the Cowboys last Sunday night, their next four games are going to be very tough.

They take a trip to face the Giants, then it is home for the Falcons, at the Seahawks, and home for the Packers. It could be all over except for the shouting for the Eagles as they enter December.
