The Philadelphia Eagles will be in the firing line today as they become the latest team to come up against the Denver Broncos Juggernaut and the amazing Peyton Manning. Manning has destroyed every defense he has come up against so far this season and the Eagles will have their work cut out if they are to avoid a big loss today.
Today's Eagles vs Broncos game takes place at 4.25 p.m. ET and can be watched on the Fox network on TV, or online through live stream on the NFL Sunday Ticket from Direct TV via the link provided below.
You cannot help but feel the Eagles are being sent out like a lamb to the slaughter today. They have lost six of their last eight road games, where as the Broncos have won eight straight games at home, and have been brutal in their execution over the last month.
The Eagles are the best rushing team in the NFL this season, but the Broncos have the best run defense. More worryingly though, the Eagles have been struggling badly in their pass defense – so could you think of a worse quarterback to come up against this week than Peyton Manning?
At the moment Manning is on pace to break completion-percentage, yardage, touchdown and passer-rating records, and if the Eagles lack conviction in their defense against him today they will likely be trounced by the Broncos.
What can the Eagles defense do today? They must make all their tackles, and ensure Manning is pressured on every single play to help the secondary. They must avoid big plays, and maintain their intensity across all four quarters. Easier said than done!
