Do you see why we tell you not to stress (even though we stress just as often, if not more so)? The NFL is a week-to-week league, and the Philadelphia Eagles have grown by leaps and bounds after their season's low point, a bad-looking loss vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The bye week came. We thought it did so too early. As it turns out, it was right on time. Philly recalibrated and refocused, and have now won seven straight.

The Birds are improving weekly. We can break down X's and O's, but sometimes, the answers are right in front of us. Sometimes, the game can be simplified. Score and score often, and more than likely, things will work out.

The NFL's top ten teams in terms of points per game scored.

Kellen Moore and his offensive unit have found their groove. They've been impressive. Jalen Hurts is taking better care of the football, and Saquon Barkley...

Man... Saquon Barkley!

The statistics and eyeball test tell us the same thing. The Eagles field one of the best offensive teams in the NFL on a weekly basis. As expected, they rank among pro football's top ten teams.

One of the toughest tests of the season comes in Week 13 for the Philadelphia Eagles. They travel to tackle the Baltimore Ravens in M&T Bank Stadium.

Philly's O will have to bring its A-game because the Ravens can also score in bunches, but here's the good news. Baltimore always allows big plays and opportunities to score. This one should be fun.
