Nobody in Vegas and few in Eagles Nation think the Birds have a chance to beat the Seattle Seahawks tonight.
They’re a 6 1/2-point underdog, which is really 9 1/2 because home teams get a 3-point accommodation.
The one area that seems available is their pass rush.
Seahawks quarterback quarterback Russell Wilson has been decked 33 times.
Of course, he also has 30 touchdown passes, so he’s able to get up and change the course of a possession because he’s so great.
The Eagles must get after Wilson and limit his runs and use the defensive front four to win at the line of scrimmage and create havoc.
Wilson is 5-0 against the Eagles in his career (including playoffs) with eight touchdown passes and only one interception.
How can the Eagles limit the damage he does with his legs and still put pressure on a pocket that he magically escapes from time and time again?
