The Buffalo Bills finally got back on track last week. They defeated the New York Jets 22-6, ending a two-game losing streak. They weren’t completely back, but they were competent.
But now they face the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles’ 9-1 record is the best in football. Six days ago they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, the same team that defeated them in the Super Bowl nine months ago. They had to fight through it with grit and courage and a lot of ugly but successful plays.
But one thing the Bills may have noticed in that epic matchup between the Eagles and Chiefs last week: Philly, while tough, was far from perfect. Their defense is a fearsome hydra, but the offensive line has had plenty of problems. QB Jalen Hurts was sacked five times in the first half and was intercepted in the end zone. When guys like WR AJ Brown and RB D’Andre Swift are tied, Hurts usually has to secure the ball and run it forward himself.
The Eagles are beatable. But one thing the Bills have shown time and time again this season is that they are even more beatable – sometimes even helping the opposing team by beating themselves.
