As others have said, Eagles had huge OL problems in week 1, but looked better against the Rams.  RB Sanders will gash us for at least 100, and their speed receivers (Jackson, Reagor) and TEs (Ertz, Goedert) will give our secondary problems.  Would help greatly if Atkins & Daniels are back, would allow us to pressure Wentz who hasn't been good this season under pressure.  On D, their pass rush is weak, Cox is looking old.  But run D has been stout.  Slay is good, will probably shadow AJ all game.  Comes down to play calling and QB -- Pederson's the better coach, but I'd take Burrow over Wentz right now.  We've got a real chance but our D has to step up and contain their offense.

The Eagles have not one, but 2 very good TE's who can both catch the football and create matchups, but their WR group is average. Sanders is back (missed week one) and he is different type of back than we have played against so far, fast and good receiver. Wentz can be great and can be very bad in same game, kind of like AD was at times so we will see if great Wentz shows up or bad Wentz does or both show up.
