The Eagles are punching teams in the mouth early in the first half of games this season, and if the team can learn to finish in the second half, the sky is truly the limit.
Philadelphia is 3-0 after manhandling Carson Wentz and the Commanders to the tune of nine sacks on defense and a career-high 169 receiving yards from wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
