Eagles and Chargers Set for a High-Stakes Defensive Showdown That Could Change the Season's Outcome

A Super Bowl hangover has been really common for many teams for years. The Chiefs, this year, are an absolute train wreck and probably won’t make the playoffs. The Eagles, who won last year’s Super Bowl, have been a bit of a disappointment, but not a full-blown disaster. The team is 8-4 for the season with an equal record on the road and at home at 4-2. They have lost their past two games, though, and really need a win to get back on track. The Eagles have looked a bit suspicious much of the season. So far for the season, the team won four straight, lost two, won four straight, lost two. If that trend continues, they will end the year 12-5, and lose in the first game of the playoffs. That’s less of a trend and more of a coincidence than anything. Looking at who Philadelphia has lost to this season – Denver, New York, Dallas, and Chicago – they should’ve probably beaten all of them. The running game looks terrible, their passing game looks better than it did early in the year, and their defense has taken a step back. Perhaps this just isn’t the same unreal squad from last season.
