NFL power rankings: Packers tumble in Week 7 after Aaron Rodgers injury
By Peter Panacy
With the Packers losing Aaron Rodgers and the Falcons faltering in Week 6, it’s time to admit the Eagles are probably the best and most-complete team in the NFC right now.
This, after an impressive road win over the suddenly surging Panthers on Thursday Night Football.
Quarterback Carson Wentz continues to take the next steps toward being considered among the NFL’s elite, posting a stat line of 16-of-30 for 222 yards, three touchdowns and a passer rating of 110.7.
Running back LeGarrette Blount might not get the biggest yardage totals, but he’s always in the mix for key pickups and first-down plays. Such was the case again versus a decent Panthers defense.
Meanwhile, the combination of Eagles wideouts Nelson Agholor and Alshon Jeffery continues to work well.
Look out, NFC East. The Eagles are for real this season.
