1. ESPN: Eagles One Of Five Bounce-Back Teams In 2017
Bill Barnwell of ESPN used some interesting statistics to list five non-playoff teams that should rebound in 2017. The Eagles are on the list at No. 4.
Here's his case for the Eagles:
- The Eagles were 1-8 in games decided by seven points or fewer.
- The Eagles had a 36 point differential (B-West!). In 2014 and 2015, no team with a positive point differential missed the postseason.
- Football Outsiders ranked the Eagles' 2016 schedule as the toughest in the league.
- With tackle Lane Johnson on the field, quarterback Carson Wentz had a 97.5 passer rating. That dipped to 70.2 when he was suspended. The Eagles were 5-1 in the six games Johnson started in 2016.
