In Week 11 the Kansas City Chiefs, coming off of their bye week, will host the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.
This game, of course, will be a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl LVII, where the Chiefs came back from a 10-point deficit to defeat the Eagles. Philadelphia is aiming to get back to the big game after re-signing some key free agents and having an impressive draft in April.
The offseason got off to a worrisome start as the Eagles lost both their coordinators as well as starting defensive players T.J. Edwards, Marcus Epps, and Javon Hargrave. They were able to re-sign some key contributors, however, bringing back center Jason Kelce, cornerbacks Darius Slay and James Bradbury, and defensive tackle Fletcher Cox.
Philly then added some new blood in free agency, signing running back Rashaad Penny, linebacker Nicholas Morrow, cornerback Greedy Williams, and quarterback Marcus Mariota. The Eagles also traded for D’Andre Swift to pair with Penny for a dynamic one-two punch in the backfield.
Philadelphia entered the draft with two first-round picks and got two day-one starters in defensive tackle Jalen Carter and linebacker Nolan Smith. Carter was widely considered the best overall prospect in the draft and Smith was one of the most athletically gifted players available. The Eagles have one of the deepest rosters in the league and should once again prove to be an NFC powerhouse.
Now, let’s take a look at some of the Eagles’ top players and their outlooks heading into the 2023 NFL season:
