Cinderella Start For Unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles

The most unlikely of underdogs is emerging in the NFC East this season to take the first NFL top spot this week as currently the only unbeaten team. The Eagles now are the first team in the NFL to have ever won their first three games all the while trailing 10 or more points in the game.

Eagles' are slowly be named as the underdogs to watch out for as they have trumped their NFC East rival Washington today and last week taking out the heavy favorites in the Indianapolis Colts. Spectacularly, the Eagles have not held any lead at all before half time so far. Despite the odds and points scored against them in first halves, the Eagles have dominated the second half this season with 3 come from behind victories all aided by intensive, fast paced offensive play-calling. Additionally, Lesean McCoy has been the Running Back with the moves and is regarded as the best this year for his position. Despite the great lateral agility of McCoy, he only averaged 1 yard a carry this week, as the majority of the offensive second half onslaught was carried throughout the air thanks to a near impecable 115.2 QB rating from second season superstar Nick Foles.

Second Year Head Coach Kelly currently has the NFL defenses shaken with the fervent pace and high risk, high reward play-calling on offense paired with a steadfast well disciplined defense making huge plays when needed despite the laundry list of 1st string defesive backs injured already this season.

The Eagles take NFL history and another win on their belt this week from yet another come from behind 2nd half shootout leading to victory. The already unlikely Cinderella story of the Eagles unbeaten season keeps getting better and better despite the statistical odds placed against them.
