One week the Eagles defense gets picked apart, the next weekend they hold the league’s highest scoring team to 12 points. The Eagles also have to deal with some injuries. It seems likely Devonta Smith and A.J. Brown will be out. Whatever, time for another Dallas Goedert legacy game.</p></div></body>
