The Philadelphia Eagles are major underdogs for Week 11. Which five players are key to an upset victory over the New Orleans Saints?

A 4-5 start to the season is not what the Philadelphia Eagles had in mind when they said that this was the “New Norm.” Are the Eagles experiencing a Super Bowl hangover? It sure looks like it. When you look back at it all though, there are so many mistakes that just came back to bite the Eagles. Lack of in-game adjustments, offseason signings that didn’t pan out, injuries, etc.

Now, as the Eagles head into Week 11 on the road, they are playing their toughest opponent to date at perhaps the worst time. If the Eagles lose, they fall to 4-6. While the NFC East is still open, and there’s still a ton of time left to make a run, it just gets even more difficult as the losses pile on so early. Heading into Sunday’s game, the Eagles are nine-point underdogs.

Can they beat the Saints? They sure can. Will they though? That’s the question. It’s going to a take a lot for the Eagles to win on Sunday. And while we’re going to go over five players that are crucial for the win, they are going to need one-hundred percent team effort all around. But if we are breaking down specific areas in need, which five players are key to a victory over the Saints?
