Eagles Gain Ground on Bye

The Eagles had the week off, but there was plenty of action taking place on the field. As a matter of fact, the Eagles did not take a single snap, but they currently find themselves a step ahead in the NFC East division race.

With Dallas suffering an embarrassing loss to the St. Louis Rams, the Birds no longer look like the worse team in the Division. Honestly, the Birds should have a sense of optimism. After all, the Eagles crushed the St. Louis Rams in week one. Yes, this is the same St. Louis team that defeated the Redskins and obliterated the Cowboys 34-14.

The Eagles will continue to prepare to host the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons will enter Philadelphia with plenty of momentum after there 22-20 victory over the Chicago Bears in week 6. The Falcons will be very well rested from their week 7 bye as well. With Tony Romo Hurt and the New York Giants facing a very talented team in Pittsburgh, the Eagles can find themselves in the thick of the hunt with a victory over Atlanta.
