Paul Domowitch covers the Eagles and the NFL for the Inquirer, where he has worked since 1982. He has covered more than 30 Super Bowls and has been a selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the last 18 years.
What's the most logical way to look at a bad record that puts the Eagles in good position to win their division? Here's a breakdown of the Eagles' first half.

Carson Wentz has shown improvement the last 2 games. His numbers bear that out. Charting the Eagles quarterback and other numbers that matter heading into Sunday night's NFC East battle.

“Greg has been helpful to me in every aspect on and off the field,” rookie receiver John Hightower said. “Without Greg, I definitely wouldn’t be in the position I’m in today. So I tip my hat to him.”
