    The eagles do have crazy WR talent. Smith and Brown each would be the best receiver on 18 other teams, and Dotson is ridiculously good for a third option. Now, Brown’s been hurt, but it didn’t seem to bother him tonight. Goedert was also injured, but when healthy he’s a top ten TE.

      I guess the focus was more on Saquon over the season but I didn’t think the passing game was necessarily fantastic. They played out of their mind in the sb for sure, but leading up to it it was a Saquon show

        Sure, because he’s Saquon, and he’s finally running behind a competent offensive line with a mobile qb who is a threat to go long. It was an ideal situation for him to explode and show the world what he can do. He could take it to the house from anywhere on the field, which is why KC stacked 7 or 8 in the box every play. Hurts demonstrated last night why none of the other teams the Eagles faced thought that would work.
