Peter King, the seer without peer at NBC Sports, has finally gotten around to concentrating on the Eagles.
And he likes what he has seen:
The Eagles are the best team in football with a month left in the regular season:
Philadelphia, 12-1. First team to clinch a playoff berth with the 48-22 rout of the formerly impressive Giants in Jersey Sunday. Philly has a two-game lead for NFC home-field, with the tiebreaker edge over both 10-3 teams, Dallas and Minnesota.
The fun’s not over.
Five years ago, the Pederson/Wentz/Foles/Ertz Eagles got on a roll and had some Super Bowl fun.
This year, the Sirianni/Hurts/Brown/Sanders Eagles (with assists from many more) have fewer questions.
Five years ago this weekend, Carson Wentz was lost with his torn ACL, and the Eagles were 11-2, and Nick Foles made his magic.
Now they’re 12-1 with a different cast that may be a better cast.
The next two months will tell.
