Interesting answer from Pat Surtain on what the Broncos have seen on film with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith

Patrick Surtain ranked his Top 5 CBs in the NFL: 1. Himself 2. Derek Stingley 3. Quinyon Mitchell 4. Jaycee Horn 5. Trent McDuffie Quinyon at number three 🔥👀

Let's do an Eagles mailbag 📬, yeah? Your questions and comments, please and thank you. 🙏

.@Eagles K Jake Elliott was in AWE of @Buccaneers K Chase McLaughlin's 65-yard field goal 😂 @insidetheNFL Week 4 Mic'd Up on X

Nick Sirianni did not offer details on Nakobe Dean's role upon returning. He remarked that Jihaad Campbell and Zack Baun are playing at a high level — as Dean did last year. Unless the Eagles are going to adjust the roles of Baun and Campbell — and it doesn't sound at the moment like Vic Fangio plans to put Campbell on the edge — it looks like Dean will be a reserve upon returning.

Update on Charley Hughlett:

Eagles veteran long snapper Charley Hughlett sustained a core injury and, per his agent @TesslerSports, “had successful surgery yesterday and will be back playing within a couple of months.”

The #Eagles have opened the practice window for LB Nakobe Dean, giving him 21 days to ramp up.

The #Eagles have designated LB Nakobe Dean to return from PUP.

Wow: The legendary Drew Brees does NOT believe the Eagles are the best team in the NFL. “I know Philly’s undefeated, but barely. Barely! If CeeDee catches a post in Week 1, and if the Rams make a chip-shot field goal, they’re sitting at 2-2. They are not the best team in the NFL.” 😳😳😳

Eagles are the top team but there really might be nothing better in Philly sports than Red October

Eagles vs Broncos: Strengths and Weaknesses The Broncos record at 2-2 is a bit deceiving. They don’t have a quality win, but they lost two close games to two good teams — Rams and Colts — and have an impressive roster. What is especially impressive about the Broncos is their offensive and defensive line. There is an argument that no NFL team has had better line play so far this season. The offensive line hasn’t been responsible for a single sack. Their defensive line is 1st in sacks, 1st in QB hits and 3rd in hurries. Their elite line play so far presents a very rare situation for the Eagles — an argument a team they are playing actually might have better line play overall than they do. As a result of dominating on the lines the Broncos have an elite running game and an elite defense. On defense they have a stacked DLine and a very good secondary, headlined by arguably the best cornerback in the NFL in Patrick Surtain. The Broncos are 3rd in points per drive, 3rd in 3rd Down defense and 1st in red zone defense. The Eagles 100% red zone offense vs. the Broncos top red zone defense is going to be a fascinating matchup to watch. The bad news for the Broncos is their weakest point is at the most important position in the game — quarterback. Bo Nix has potential, but as of now he is still a young quarterback that turns the ball over at a high rate. He has the 5th most turnover worthy plays in the NFL and four interceptions in four games. Still, this is a tough matchup. It also isn’t a good week to need to get the ball to a certain No. 1 WR. The Eagles have to hope that Vic Fangio’s defense can make Nix’s day a long one. If they don’t the Broncos are very capable of winning this game.

The undefeated @Eagles and @BuffaloBills still lead @TomBrady’s Week 4 Power Rankings, but who’s rounding out the rest of the pack? 👀⬇️

Only two are left 👀 @BuffaloBills | @Eagles

Quinyon Mitchell was the best player on the field on Sunday, IMO. His targets and tackles:

Bengals QB trade matchmaker: Far and away best option: Jameis Winston Cool at least for the moonballs: Russell Wilson Best for real-life aspirations: Kirk Cousins Most nostalgic: Andy Dalton Bad, could be fun: Josh Dobbs, Drew Lock, Sam Howell Batshit crazy: Anthony Richardson

“We’re still working on that.” — #Eagles OC Kevin Patullo on runs up the middle. The Eagles run the 6th most amount of runs up the middle, and yet are 31st in yards per rush (2.03). Last year they were also 6th in runs up the middle, but 19th in yards per rush (4.06).

Happy birthday to the king of "Good Mornings" 🎉

And then there were two... Who stays undefeated the longest, Bills or Eagles?

Role Model: Jalen Carter speaks on the importance of stacking wins and not stats. "I don't want six sacks and a loss." 👏👏 That's precisely the attitude you want from a star player.

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: Eagles star WRs AJ Brown & DeVonta Smith have gone viral for looking "depressed" after the Eagles win against the Bucs. The two combined for four catches and 36 yards...

Last December, when Saquon Barkley was nearing 2,000 yards and on his way to perhaps the best season by a RB in NFL history, he insisted that A.J. Brown was the best player on the team. I asked him why he was so adamant about it. Here's what Saquon said: "He's a freak of nature. He weighs the same as me, he's bigger than me, and he can move like me — I just can't run routes like him. "The most impressive thing about A.J. to me, you have guys who catch the ball, but when he catches the ball, the ball does not move in his hand. He has the most impressive hands. I kind of knew that in New York seeing him, seeing how he operates. Me and Daniel (Jones) used to talk about that a lot, actually. "He's a heck of a player. Hall of Fame-caliber player." ...It says something about a player's greatness when the great ones are left impressed.
