9. New York Giants (13)

The Giants knocked off a good young Eagles team Sunday and are quietly right in the playoff hunt. If the season ended today, the Giants would own the first wildcard spot. With Beckham coming on strong as of late, it would be surprising if their play got worse.

10. Pittsburgh Steelers (9)

Yes, they lost, but Steeler fans can rejoice in the fact that Big Ben is back in the lineup. Historically, Roethlisberger has played poor in his return from injury, only to right the ship the following week. Expect the high flying Steelers offense to return to form next week.

11. Minnesota Vikings (8)

The Vikings are currently in a free-fall. After starting the season as the last remaining undefeated team, three straight losses have send this team back to the middle of the pack. Their offensive coordinator has resigned, and if things don’t change, this team will be looking up at the Lions or Packers in the standings.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (10)

One word can be used to describe the Eagles—young. Another word that can bring joy bring joy to Eagles fans—promising. They’ve already exceeded all expecations coming into the year, so every thing else should be a bonus.

A couple things they know is that they have a true superstar in the making at the quarterback position, and a good young head coach. Peterson’s aggressiveness backfired on him against the Giants as twice in the first half the Eagles were stopped on fourth and short in field goal range.

What it showed though was that he had faith in his guys, and that is something that a team loves in a head coach. The Eagles are going to be very good sooner, rather than later. Can they make a run at the playoffs this year? Maybe, maybe not. But for years to come they will be set up, and that is comforting to know if you are an Eagles fan.
