It wasn’t pretty, but the Eagles escaped State Farm Stadium with a 20-17 win over the Cardinals to remain undefeated.

Whether QB Jalen Hurts wants to hear about it or not, the Eagles are 5-0 for just the third time in franchise history and have proved they can win under any circumstance.

“We’re going to get everybody’s best. We’re going to play a lot of good football teams this year and we have to be ready for the challenges ahead. We’re a really good football team, and we’re still growing,” Hurts said on Sunday. “We’re still learning… we haven’t played our best yet so it’s just a ton to learn from. I’m hungry and eager to get to that point, but it’s a process. Rome wasn’t built overnight.”

Here is where the Eagles stand in the Power Rankings heading into Week 6:

The Eagles keep answering the bell in different ways.

Sunday’s 20-17 triumph at Arizona came with a dollop of good fortune: Kyler Murray‘s premature slide short of the first-down marker set up an ugly miss by a temporary kicker to close the game. But you tend to get these kinds of breaks when things are going good.

As the only remaining undefeated team, the Eagles are in good shape, but the recent rash of injuries to their offensive front is worth monitoring. Tackle Jordan Mailata (right shoulder), center Jason Kelce (left ankle), and guards Landon Dickerson (leg) and Isaac Seumalo (ankle) are all banged up to varying degrees heading into Sunday’s divisional game against the 4-1 Cowboys. None of the injuries appears long term at this point, but the Eagles will need it to stay that way to keep their dynamic offense humming.

Top six in offensive EPA per drive (0.39) and yards per play allowed on defense (4.7), the Eagles are comfortably the best team in the NFC after five weeks. Even with injuries to cornerback Avonte Maddox, starting left tackle Jordan Mailata, and kicker Jake Elliott, the Eagles pulled off a road win over the Cardinals to remain the NFL’s only undefeated team.

Arizona gashed the Eagles for some big plays with tempo and some well-timed Kyler Murray designed runs, but the Eagles proved yet again they can win in multiple ways and continue to show just how much margin for error the team has on both sides of the ball right now.

Trade idea: Panthers edge rusher Brian Burns

Why would a rebuilding team trade away one of the best young pass rushers in the league? Because the Eagles could make it worth their while. Stocked with two 2023 first-round picks, the Eagles might have had those earmarked to make a move for a quarterback. But Jalen Hurts’ ascension makes that less of a concern.

We know general manager Howie Roseman will always build his team through the line of scrimmage, so why not offer something like the Eagles’ 2023 first-round pick (keeping the upside of the Saints’ first-rounder in-house) and a 2024 Day 2 pick for the 24-year-old Burns? Burns has 29.5 sacks since entering the league as a first-round pick in 2019, 12th-most in the NFL.

They didn’t play a great game at Arizona, but they found a way. That’s the sign of a good team. Now here come the Cowboys.

The Philadelphia Eagles just keep getting it done.

Sunday’s win in Arizona wasn’t the most attractive or emphatic victory the team has logged this season. After jumping out to a 14-0 first-half lead, Philly’s offense stalled for most of the rest of the game. But just as they have all season long, the Eagles made plays when they needed to and received a little good fortune when Cardinals kicker Matt Ammendola’s late field-goal attempt sailed wide.

A big reason for their 5-0 start? The ability to sprint out to big leads before putting teams away. Philadelphia’s 92 second-quarter points are the most in NFL history through five games and 68 more than their opponents have. Philly has not trailed in the second half all season.
