PHILADELPHIA’S BEST PUSHBACK

Defense Is Philadelphia’s Only Close Fight

Philadelphia's defense gives the team one place to push back. Philadelphia sits only 0.5 points behind Kansas City in Defense, but close is not the same as an edge. Kansas City still has Patrick Mahomes at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Eagles cannot match in this comparison.
