The Eagles are 3rd in the NFL in Time of Possession.I feel like the league is overrating Detroit. If we just took out Baltimore and they have a top 3 RB and a top 3 QB, I'm not understanding what Detroit is supposed to do with a middle of the pack QB. Like I understand Gibbs is nice but if that mattered, Baltimore would've beat us.
I saw a tweet yesterday that Jalen Hurts has something like 20 total passes in the 4th quarter since Week 6. They get a lead and they pound the football in the 2nd half.
To be fair, the Ravens actually won the Time of Possession battle this week and still lost.
Detroit is right there with Philadelphia in TOP, ranking 5th.
A battle between Philly and Detroit comes down to health. Will the Eagles have a healthy DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown (who dealt with a hamstring issue earlier this season) and will the Lions have a healthy defense (they lost Aidan Hutchinson for the regular season)?
There's a month left in the season and a lot can happen.
