Commentary: After a season where their defense lagged significantly, the Eagles made substantial changes to revamp their defensive unit. With Vic Fangio stepping in as the defensive coordinator and key additions like Bryce Huff, Devin White and CJ Gardner-Johnson, the Eagles are aiming to shore up their defensive vulnerabilities. Saquon Barkley is a major boost to the offense, bringing both power and versatility. Despite losing some veteran players like Jason Kelce and James Bradberry, the Eagles’ relatively favorable schedule should provide ample opportunity to capitalize on their enhanced defensive capabilities and maintain their playoff potential. If the revamped defense can hold up, the Eagles are well-positioned to be a Super Bowl contender this season.
