🦅 Yes, the undefeated Eagles will be playing at the same time as the Phillies Thursday night. Here's what matchups to watch for. flyeaglesfly NBCSPhilly

While Davis Mills is probably slightly better than you think he is, he’s still nowhere near a top quarterback in the NFL. In seven starts this year, he’s competed 63.1% of his passes with 8 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He’ll also take some sacks; he’s been brought down 16 times this season. The Eagles really took it to rookie Kenny Pickett on Sunday.

This Houston run defense is historically bad. Since 1987 they are one of just four teams to allow 1,300+ rushing yards through the first seven games of the season. The others: The 2008 Chiefs , the 2010 Bills and the 2019 Bengals . Sure, when a team is bad, they’re usually down big and teams run the ball, so this is somewhat skewed. But the fact that the average is so high tells you they stink against the run all the time.
