Week 10 Power Rankings Roundup: Do the Eagles finally get their respect?

The Eagles are 8-0 for the first time in franchise history following their 29-17 win over Houston on Thursday night.
Philadelphia has routinely been chasing Buffalo thus far in the NFL’s Power Rankings. Will the latter’s loss to the Jets drop impact their No. 1 status? Let’s take a look.

The Philadelphia Eagles were founded in 1933. They are 8-0 for the first time ever. Turns out there can still be happiness after the demise of the Phillies. The Iggles continued their perfect start with an imperfect but ultimately satisfactory throttling of the Texans on Thursday Night Football.
Keep an eye on the defense without Jordan Davis: The absence of the standout defensive tackle — parked on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain — was apparent against Houston, as Texans RB Dameon Pierce regularly bullied his way to the second level in a 139-yard night. Suspect run defense might be the only perceptible flaw for the “new” best team in football.

Brown has been a game-changer for the Eagles’ offense. He is just the third Eagle since the 1970 merger to record 700-plus receiving yards and six-plus touchdowns through eight games, joining Terrell Owens (2004, 2005) and Jeremy Maclin (2014).
Brown’s ability to create separation, make contested catches and produce after the catch has been critical to quarterback Jalen Hurts‘ ascension as a passer. Hurts has tossed six touchdowns with no interceptions for a QBR of 91.4 when targeting Brown, who ranks sixth in the NFL in receiving yards (718) and is tied for the second-most receiving touchdowns (6).

They are clearly the best team in the NFL. It’s time they get their due for it instead of finding ways to pick them apart.

Thursday night in Houston, the Philadelphia Eagles made some history. Never before have the Eagles opened the season with eight straight wins. But after taking care of the Texans in Week 9, that’s where the 2022 Eagles find themselves.
However, despite all that success, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts told reporters after the game that as far as he’s concerned, Philly hasn’t accomplished a thing yet.
It’s a good attitude to have, but we don’t have to be humble about Philly’s start. It has been danged impressive. The offense is rolling. The defense is stifling. Hurts is playing at an MVP level.
It’s entirely possible that when the Eagles host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football in Week 12, Philly will be 10-0, and talk of a perfect season will have started really ramping up.

The undefeated Eagles are a runaway train in the NFC. Their odds to win the NFC have moved from +1100 before the season to +185 after Week 9’s Sunday games. According to SportsOddsHistory.com, no NFC team has had better than +200 odds to win the conference entering Week 10 since the Rams in 2018 (+125).
They are the best team in football and have the easiest schedule remaining, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index. It’s Super Bowl or bust in Philly.

Well, there’s no longer any debate as to whether the Bills should be in this spot.
