In sports, a good beat down can be a positive for the soul, and as Philadelphia prepares to regroup from a 42-19 loss to the 49ers, we’re looking ahead to the final five games.
The Eagles are 10-2 after twelve games played entering Week 14, and they’ll play five more regular season games before entering the postseason. Even with a complete collapse, Philadelphia will still make the playoffs, but a deep postseason run is predicated on efficient football and a team hitting its peak at just the right time.
Nick Sirianni’s Eagles received a jolt of energy after signing veteran linebacker Shaq Leonard, and star tight end Dallas Goedert is expected to return to the lineup after missing three games with a fractured forearm.
The air of dominance is gone after the loss to San Francisco, but Philadelphia is still among the best teams in football and has the veteran leadership needed to survive this gauntlet.
With preparation for Dallas underway, we’re predicting the final five games.
