The Philadelphia Eagles kicked off Week 11 buzz with a hard-fought 10-7 win against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football, pushing their record to a solid 7-2 and keeping them atop the NFC East standings. Jalen Hurts connected on a crucial deep ball to DeVonta Smith late in the third quarter, while the defense clamped down, holding Green Bay to just 261 yards. Saquon Barkley added 78 rushing yards, proving once again why the Eagles' ground game remains a nightmare for opponents.
Heading into Week 11, the Eagles sit pretty in most NFL power rankings, often slotted at No. 1 or 2 alongside the Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts, both also at 7-2 or better. The NFL standings show Philadelphia leading the pack in the NFC with 208 points scored so far, though their margin for error narrows as the playoffs loom. Teams like the Seattle Seahawks (7-2) and New England Patriots (8-2) are nipping at their heels, making every snap count more than ever.
This defensive masterpiece comes at a pivotal time—Week 11's slate kicks off Thursday with the Jets facing the Pats, and the Eagles gear up for their next test. Not flashy, but effective; that's the Eagles' style this season. With 7-2 locked in, they're the team to beat, but the league's parity means no room for slip-ups.
As the NFC arms race heats up, one can't help but wonder if Philadelphia's balanced attack will carry them all the way.
