Claiming a 21-10 win over the Vikings was a step back in the right direction for the Eagles, who got much better performances across the board. Here are this week’s grades.

After the Eagles win over the Vikings, head coach Doug Pederson praised the defense for the bounce-back game, particularly the defensive line, which attacked the ball and former Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford.

The Eagles overcame a slow start for the offense as a resounding performance by the defense helped them claim a comfortable 21-10 win over the Vikings at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

It doesn’t get any easier for the Eagles as the undefeated Minnesota Vikings pay a visit to Philadelphia and a familiar face returns.

Sam Bradford, who was traded by the Eagles eight days before the season opener, makes his return as the starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings, who come into Sunday’s game undefeated. Here are six players to watch in Sunday’s Eagles-Vikings game.

This post serves as both a TV guide and a preview for the Philadelphia Eagles Week 7 showdown with the Minnesota Vikings.

This year’s Eagles team has seen the yellow flag way to many times. In five games, Philadelphia has been penalized 49 times resulting in 400 yards of penalties. The Eagles are averaging 9.8 flags per game, making them the most flagged team in the NFL.

The Eagles haven’t played at home since they torched the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3. Since then the Birds offense has been plagued by senseless penalties. The past three games Philadelphia has played, they’ve racked up 37 penalties for 324 yards, which makes them the fourth most penalized team in the NFL.

A look at the recent history between the Eagles and Vikings and looking ahead to Sam Bradford’s return to Philadelphia.

A look at how the Eagles offense was affected by the Redskins pass rush and what it means moving forward.

Reality has set in for the Eagles during the last two weeks in road losses to the Lions and Redskins. The defense has taken a significant step back as well. The unit has committed too many penalties, plus poor tackling has factored into the recent slide. Can the defense bounce back in an important home game against the Vikings on Sunday?

Would the Philadelphia Eagles have been better with running back DeMarco Murray in 2016?

Though it is a one-game sample size, it is hard to envision a scenario where Vaitai can play anywhere near Johnson’s level. As the Eagles get set to play the number-one ranked defense in Minnesota this week, the task for the offensive line only gets more arduous.

In addition to failing to maintain their discipline by committing 27 penalties, the team has had a number of key players underachieve. Here’s a look at some of the biggest underachievers in the early part of the season that need to step their games up in the coming weeks.

Entering Week 7, the Eagles are a far cry from where they were entering the bye week. 3-0 is a distant memory. 3-2 and two straight games of frustration, lack of execution and lack of discipline are the reality. Now, the Eagles season really is on the line, as in how the offensive and defensive lines can make do of where they are and change it for the better.

For the second straight week, the Eagles let discipline get in the way of any potential success on the field. They struggled with penalties and it hurt progress on both sides of the ball.

This week was truly a test. The Eagles were getting their first action within the NFC East, six games that mean everything to the Eagles division hopes. They failed that test, losing to the Redskins 27-20, and dropping to 3-2. And the grades this week reflect it.

Even after two disappointing losses, Philadelphia Eagles fans shouldn’t be as upset as they were a year ago.

At 3-1, the Eagles are facing another challenge in their first divisional game of the season against the Washington Redskins, who roll into the Week 6 meeting having won three straight games. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

The first meeting with the NFC East happens against the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon, and the Eagles are looking to get revenge on the end of a rivalry that hasn’t gone their way as of late. Here are six players to watch in Sunday’s game.

Friday’s injury reports gave us a better idea of who will be in uniform on Sunday for the Eagles and Redskins, and who’s unlikely to suit up. With that in mind, here’s a look at how these divisional foes stack up.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was named Pepsi Offensive Rookie of the Week for Week 5.

Johnson’s suspension leaves us with this question of who will be protecting Wentz instead of the former first-round pick? The answer is a challenging one to pronounce. Halapoulivaati Vaitai, known more easily as ‘Big V,’ will step in and be the starting right tackle on Sunday when the Eagles face their NFC East rivals, the Washington Redskins.
