By point differential, the Philadelphia Eagles are the third-best team in football. A mere three points off the top spot, their 7-2 record shows a team contending for a first-round bye in the playoffs and possibly even home field advantage. But dig a little further, into the numbers and the film, and the state of the Eagles and their success to date becomes a little harder to understand.
Philadelphia has played sloppily and perhaps unluckily: the third-worst turnover differential in the NFC, averages 1.3 interceptions a game, doesn’t recover fumbles, and 26th in the league in red zone efficiency. Teams that turn the ball over and fail to score touchdowns rarely win seven games all season. What, exactly, is going on here?
 
Big thanks to the editing team for making my excited ramble an actual article, the first of many. 
Appreciate any feedback, especially as many will not follow the Eagles.
