The Philadelphia Eagles are atop the NFC at 8-1 and have their sights set on the Super Bowl. Making it to the championship is not out of the question and the team is clearly making moves that show its intentions.
General manager Howie Roseman added two players to the defensive line this week, bringing in Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph, to improve one of their weak spots.
