While the Eagles won, I'm not entirely sure they're happy about how the game went.

As I said, Packers needed to get the ball moving and into the end zone, and they couldn't.
Probably not since Barkley was held to a season low 60 yds rushing & their whole running attack was neutralized. And with only 10 pts scored (season low), this is where Love needed to play better & somehow just manufacturer one scoring drive there at the end to win the game

Maybe just a bad game for him, because Love has been throwing the ball real well this year. He's kept the turnovers down with only 3 picks so far, and he's way above his career averages in completion Pct (68 vs 64) & passer rating (103 vs 96). And let's not forget he's Tier-2 described as a "Bit of gunslinger...but more consistently good than bad."

The situation with the Pack moving forward is their BRUTAL schedule: Games against NYG, Detroit, Denver, Baltimore, Chicago (twice), Minnesota (twice). It's going to be a donnybrook as they'll be going toe to toe with these teams. Should make for some exciting football to watch.

Broncos with another win, though they have to be firing on all cylinders against the Chiefs. If the. Broncos win. I think they take the division.
What do you think of the Chargers though? They're 7-3 & just one game behind the Broncos. They still have the 2nd games against the Broncos & Chiefs, with the Bronco game the last one of the year (wouldn't that be something if that game was for the division title).

In fact, I'm surprised the Chargers have been doing so well given their horrendous injury situation: They're down to their 3rd string RB, and All-Pro stud tackles Alt & Slater are out for the year. But Herbert has risen to the occasion playing some of his best football. Unbelievably, the guy is currently #1 in QB rushing yards! (already more than last season's total). Plus he's #2 in passing yardage behind D. Jones. The guy is getting done with his arm & legs.

I'll say it again; Greg Roman was dead serious that he wants Herbert to use his athleticism & run more.
