Chiefs offense is No. 1 in EPA per drive. Eagles are No. 2. But difference between them is huge - it's the same as the difference between the Eagles and No. 17 Browns. Easily biggest challenge Eagles defense will face this year.

"Much of the offseason is spent on all of those situations. ...He knows it before 3rd down so that he can plan on 3rd down. ...There's certain things that are built into our culture." An NFL owner talking 4th-down decision-making. For the nerds:

Eagles now have sacked opponents on 11.5% of their dropbacks - the highest rate for any defense since at least 2000. The difference between the Eagles and No. 2 (Patriots) is the same as the difference between No. 2 and No. 29. Source:

Since their touchdown on the opening drive, the Eagles offense has 13 yards on 10 plays and 1 first down. Punts on all three possessions.

Eagles scored a league-high 62 points on their first possession during the regular season. Have scored TDs on the 1st possession of both playoff games. 11 plays, 66 yards, 4 1st downs, and DeVonta Smith (again) leaving no doubt he's ready for the moment.

I thought Eagles-Cowboys would be the most fun matchup, but for the 27th straight year, Dallas fails to get out of the divisional round. If you were born in 2000, you've never seen the Cowboys play in the NFCG, while this will be the 7th time for the Eagles since then.

Bengals had 7 real possessions. Scored on 5 of them - 3 TDs and 2 FGs. Based on EPA per drive, that performance ranked in the 95th percentile of all games this season. Against the No. 1-ranked DVOA defense on the road. Joe Burrow was right. Him healthy = Super Bowl window.

Can't overstate how impressive a performance that is from the Bengals. Bills were 14-3 coming in. Their three losses were by a combined 8 points. No team beat them by more than a FG. Bengals go on the road with three backup OL and beat them by 17. Dominant.

Great new(ish) Eagles podcast, if you haven't checked it out yet. Just be warned you can't listen to Ben at 2x speed. He's a 1.2x max listen because he goes through life at 2x speed.

The Eagles are now 15-1 with Jalen Hurts as their starter this year. Barring an unforeseen injury, they will have 21 of 22 regular starters available for the NFC Championship.
