Raise your hand if you had the Eagles at 8-1 at this point in the season,Authentic Vinny Curry Jersey, or Carson Wentz for MVP., or figured Doug Pederson as a top candidate for Coach of the Year

with the potential of more to come in the final seven weeks of the season. Here, then,Womens Jason Kelce Jersey, are the top five surprises,The Eagles' season has been filled with surprises,Authentic T. J. Watt Jersey, with a suggestion of how to sustain them through the rest of the regular season, and perhaps beyond:

It was obvious last year that Wentz was good and had the potential to be great. But it doesn't always turn out that way.

It became clear early in the first game of the season when Wentz escaped two pass rushers, stepped up in the pocket and fired a 58-yard touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor. That first-quarter TD set the tone for the Eagles' 30-17 win in Washington against a team that had beaten the Eagles five straight times.

wide receiver Alshon Jeffery said he had only seen two quarterbacks make that kind of play – "him and Aaron,Authentic T. J. Watt Jersey," he said,After the game, referring to Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers.

has a quarterback rating of 104.1, and is on pace to become the first quarterback in team history to throw for 4,000 yards in a season. It was easy to expect improvement over last season,That was only the beginning for Wentz. He has thrown 23 touchdown passes against just five interceptions, but this much?

and that means he can always improve on deciding when to slide or when to challenge a defender. In fact,What next? The easy answer is more of the same. But Wentz has to be smart, Pederson was one of many who winced when Wentz lowered his shoulder near the goal line against Carolina on Oct. 12. The last thing the Eagles can afford is Wentz getting hurt. Just ask the Packers.

2. Filling in for Darby

and it seemed like things were only going to get worse when Ronald Darby, whom the Eagles traded for in August,Everyone saw the Eagles' cornerback woes last season, suffered a dislocated ankle injury in the season opener.

like Wentz, has blossomed in his second season. The Eagles have also gotten contributions from veteran free agent signee Patrick Robinson,But Jalen Mills, Jaylen Watkins and even rookie third-round draft pick Rasul Douglas.

the Eagles' ability to mix and match defensive backs has worked to their advantage this season. The Eagles are ranked 25th in pass defense. Some of that is misleading because the Eagles have the best rushing defense in the NFL and they have held a lead in the second half of every game this season,In fact, meaning that opponents have to pass.

man," safety Rodney McLeod said. "You’ve got guys who can be plugged in anywhere, especially in the secondary … In this league,"The versatility on this team is great, there are a lot of matchups, and we can match up with a lot of teams because of our versatility."

What next? The secondary is only going to get better because Darby could return as soon as next Sunday against Dallas. Even if he can't play every down, he will add significantly to the depth. And there's also the possibility that rookie Sidney Jones could play later on this season after tearing his Achilles before the draft.

3. Trading for Jay Ajayi

It wasn't necessarily a shocker that Howie Roseman did something at the trade deadline on Oct. 31. After all, no one has made more trades than Roseman since he originally became the general manager in 2010.

272 yards,But it was surprising that Roseman swung a deal for a 24-year-old running back coming off a season in which he gained 1, and only had to give up a fourth-round pick.

Sure,Womens Mychal Kendricks Jersey, there were reports out of Miami that Ajayi was a me-first player. But the Eagles felt confident enough in their "culture" and veteran leadership to believe that Ajayi would buy into a team approach that includes sharing carries.

at least, it worked. Ajayi had only eight carries last Sunday against Denver,For one game,Authentic Jason Kelce Jersey, but one of them was for a 46-yard touchdown.

What next? Ajayi's carries will likely increase as he gets more familiar with the Eagles' offense, likely to the point where he and LeGarrette Blount will share just about all of the carries. Having two reliable and fresh running backs will become extremely valuable in December and in playoff games in January.

4. Jake Elliott kicking frenzy

you listen, especially if you're Jake Elliott,Womens Donnie Jones Jersey, who at 167 pounds is about half the weight of the Eagles' massive left tackle. So when Elliott missed two of his first three field goal attempts as an Eagle,When Jason Peters talks, Peters was caught on video saying to Elliott,Womens T. J. Watt Jersey, "No more misses."

What followed was Elliott's team record 61-yard field goal as time expired to give the Eagles a 27-24 win over the Giants on Sept. 24. That was part of 12 straight made field goals, nine of them from 40 yards or more.

Elliott has made five field goals from 50 yards or more, shattering a team record for a season in just seven games. It's why Pederson said there are no plans to bring Caleb Sturgis off of injured reserve. Sturgis suffered a hip injury in the season opener.

it's that Elliott has missed three extra points in the last two games. All of them have been at Lincoln Financial Field,Womens T. J. Watt Jersey, with the swirling winds. If the Eagles are hosting playoff games in January,What next? If there's one cause for concern, that could be an issue.

5. Overcoming all of the injuries

they lost leaders in their locker room. Peters, running back Darren Sproles,Every team has to deal with their share of injuries. But the Eagles not only lost key players, middle linebacker Jordan Hicks and special teams ace Chris Maragos were all lost for the season.

too. When Hicks tore his Achilles against Washington on Oct. 23,Darby has missed eight games. Fletcher Cox and Wendell Smallwood missed two games. Zach Ertz missed a game, Mychal Kendricks was already out with a hamstring injury. That left Nigel Bradham as the only starting linebacker.

Somehow, the Eagles have persevered.

barring another injunction, is about to begin a six-game suspension. They'll face Dallas again in the season finale,What next? The Eagles aren't the only team dealing with the absences of key players. They'll play in Dallas (5-3) on Nov. 19 and running back Ezekiel Elliott, but Elliott should be back by then. And Seattle (6-3) will be without star cornerback Richard Sherman for the rest of the season after he tore his Achilles during the Seahawks' win Thursday night. The Eagles also face the Los Angeles Rams (6-2) on the road.

they will likely get home field advantage through the playoffs. And that's essential,If the Eagles can go 5-2 or better over the final seven games, especially if they have to face their biggest threat to the Super Bowl as of now in the New Orleans Saints with Drew Brees.

Leon Balogun has dedicated Nigeria’s unbeaten run in the 2018 World Cup qualification series to ill Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Carl Ikeme.

The Super Eagles finished the qualification series with a 1-1 draw against Algeria in the Stade Mohamed Hamlaoui and as Group B leaders with 14 points from six games.

And Balogun who captained Gernot Rohr’s men against the Desert Foxes on Friday night, paid tribute to Ikeme who has been out of action since July after being diagnosed with acute leukaemia.

The Philadelphia Eagles don't have a Week 12 deadline to activate Sidney Jones from the non-football injury list, Authentic Mychal Kendricks Jersey,which the second-round pick has been on all season with an ankle injury.

Jones can return to the practice field at any time, via Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer. There is no league-mandated window for the Eagles to bring Jones back from the non-football injury list, which was changed for the 2017 season.

In previous years, the Eagles had until Week 12 to get Jones onto the practice field. If he wasn't practicing by Week 12, Jones would have had to remain on the non-football injury list for the remainder of the season. Jones can start practicing after Week 12 and still be activated.

Once Jones hits the practice field, cut him (not happening), he has 21 days to be activated to the active roster (basically three weeks of practice to get into football shape). The Eagles will have three options with his status once the 21-day window hits: activate him,Authentic Donnie Jones Jersey, or keep him on the non-football injury list.

Via Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, Womens Vinny Curry Jersey,he expects Jones back playing for the Eagles in December. Jones would have to return to the practice field this month for that to be a possibility.
