The Philadelphia Eagles might want a say about the best team in the NFC.
That distinction has gone to the Detroit Lions for most of the season, but if that’s the case, the Eagles aren’t that far behind.
In fact, this team might even be better than the one that made the Super Bowl two seasons ago.
At least, that’s how Emmanuel Acho feels.
On Monday’s edition of “The Facility,” Acho explained why he thinks that.
“This Eagles team is better than the 2023 Super Bowl team.”

For starters, he believes they’re more balanced and might even be the most balanced team in the entire league.
They haven’t lost a game since September, and they’re dominating their opponents on both sides of the field.
Acho claimed that their defense is about hunger, whereas their offense is about humility.
He pointed out that the Eagles have a star-studded offense, yet Jalen Hurts doesn’t complain when he’s not as involved as a passer, Saquon Barkley doesn’t throw tantrums when the team goes away from him, and A.J. Brown says nothing when he only sees eight targets.
All players are pushing towards the same goal, and they know that they’re playing for something much bigger than individual glory.
The Eagles nearly hoisted the Vince Lombardi trophy a couple of years ago.
They still need to get back to the biggest stage this season.
But given how they’ve played over the past two months, it’s hard to envision any other team beating them right now.
