Last weekend’s victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers showed the league that Doug Pederson’s group is a threat to defeat any team on a weekly basis, and clubs that circled their match against the Eagles as a winnable game must show Philadelphia considerable respect. The question now is what are reasonable and realistic expectations for the Eagles for the rest of the season?

You know that game your mind plays where the expectations are better than reality? Well, the 2016 Philadelphia Eagles are playing that game in reverse. The reality is far exceeding expectations. Only now, the expectations are going to start to catch up.
