But there’s a lot to like about the squad and no obvious reason to drop it from the top spot prior to the season kickoff against the Cowboys. Philly remains the king of the NFC East for now, even with strong challengers in the Commanders. We’ll see if the Eagles have another title run in them, but they have to be the division favorite now, at the least."
