In a league of inconsistent mediocrity, one team consistently finds itself ranked among the top. The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off their Week 10 win in Green Bay, are once again making waves in the power rankings.
For NFL.com, DeVonta Smith is the non-quarterback MVP, thanks to his impressive stats and big-play ability. However, others might say it's the team's defense that's been holding everything together, particularly after a game-winning TD set up by Saquon Barkley's 41-yard catch-and-run.
Meanwhile, Jimmy says the Eagles must be infuriating to watch for those who don't support them, as they seem to find ways to win even when not playing their best. And speaking of non-support, ESPN ranks the Eagles first overall, with Smith leading all skill players in receptions and receiving yards.
USA Today's take is that Monday night's win pushed the Eagles back atop the projected NFC playoff field, but acknowledges that their offense isn't hitting on all cylinders just yet. Jimmy has a bone to pick with this assessment, pointing out that the team has had very good performances in recent weeks.
Yahoo takes a different angle, highlighting how the defense came up huge against the Packers and could be a key factor in repeating as champions. The team's road win record also comes up for praise, with the Eagles boasting an impressive 28-11 mark over the past few seasons.
Lastly, The Athletic breaks out Cooper DeJean as a breakout player, but Jimmy disagrees, citing Moro Ojomo as his top choice. CBS rounds out the rankings, saying that while the defense came up big, the offense needs to get it going if they want to succeed.
In terms of overall ranking, ESPN takes the top spot once again, followed closely by Yahoo and The Athletic. Meanwhile, USA Today ranks them fifth, and NFL.com places them fourth. As for Jimmy's take, he says that while rankings can be fun to follow, they're ultimately meaningless.
So what does it all mean? For now, at least, the Eagles are flying high in the power rankings. Can they maintain this momentum and make a deep playoff run? Only time will tell.

, but seriously the Eagles are killin' it right now 
! their defense is on point 
and DeVonta Smith is straight fire 
. i think jimmie has a good point though, saying rankings don't matter in the grand scheme of things 
but for now let's just enjoy watchin' them crush it on the field 
I think the Eagles are getting a lot of love from everyone, but is it fair? They're not exactly dominating teams like some people make them out to be 
. Their offense is still pretty average and they're only winning when their defense steps up big time 
. Don't get me wrong, they've had some great wins, but consistency is key in the NFL. Can they sustain this level of performance? It's hard to say with confidence right now 
but honestly can't sustain wins when team isn't clicking on all cylinders... defense is solid but offense needs to step up if they wanna go far in playoffs... gotta see how they do against tougher teams next week 
. Jimmy's right though, it's infuriating to watch if you're not a fan, they always find ways to win even when they're not playing their A-game. I think USA Today is off the mark saying their offense isn't clicking yet, we've seen some great performances from them recently 
. The defense being key in repeating as champions makes sense, and Moro Ojomo is defo worth keeping an eye on 
maybe they can hold it together but 4th place in power rankings still feels like a stretch
. It's not just about individual players making big plays, its about the team coming together and executing 
. And yeah, rankings are fun to follow, but at the end of the day, it's all about how far they can make a run in the playoffs 
. I mean, who even cares about DeVonta Smith being the non-quarterback MVP? Can't we just focus on how the team's defense is actually doing its job without any praise? And what's with all the ranking variations? It's like they're trying to confuse us or something 
They're on fire 
and DeVonta Smith is my MVP fave 
Jimmy's got a point tho, the offense needs to step up its game 
️ but for now, let's just enjoy the win 
DeVonta Smith is def my man of the game tho, that non-qmvp statz are on point 
and can we talk about dat defense tho? 
i'm hyped for da playoffs, let's go eagles!!!
