4. Eagles finally defeat Wilson

Ever since Russell Wilson joined the league as a member of the Seattle Seahawks back in 2012, the quarterback has established a reputation for being one of the most dangerous players in the NFL, and the scary thing is he doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

As long as Wilson stays healthy, there’s every reason to believe that Seattle will remain a top contender in the NFC once again, and most likely cause all sorts of problems for the Eagles when the two teams meet towards the end of November.

Not only did the Seahawks have their way against the Eagles last year during the regular season, but they also handed Philadelphia a loss when it mattered the most in the playoffs on Wild Card Weekend.

For whatever reason, Philadelphia has never been able to defeat Wilson in his career (5-0), but hopefully 2020 will finally be the year in which the results change.

With the Eagles being fortunate enough to host Wilson and the Seahawks in front of a national audience during Week 12, this seems like the perfect opportunity to earn that first win over the Seattle star.

Better yet, if Philadelphia happens to be in the playoff race as expected, a win over the Seahawks this late in the year could be huge.
