2. Philadelphia Eagles

In their season debut against the Packers, the Philadelphia Eagles got off to a rather strong start. While in a literal sense, their start to the game was rough, they picked up the pace rather quickly and managed to come out on top against a pretty stacked team, all while playing on a pretty rough field in Brazil.

Jalen Hurts looked pretty rough, turning the ball over three times, but the addition of Saquon Barkley is already paying dividends. Through 24 carries, Barkley racked up 109 yards and ran for two touchdowns, while also catching two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown. Do the Giants miss him? Of course they do.

Their defense looked suspect and they definitely could have played a little closer to their standards. However, they are a clear second in the NFC East given the fact that they simply won their season-opener.
