Philadelphia Eagles rolled into the Super Bowl, but the team they built this year looks like it might be even better. Hint: Having Saquon Barkley helps.

Last year's collapse looks like a thing of the past as Saquon Barkley and a defensive revival have the Eagles looking primed for another Super Bowl run similar to 2022. They have won eight straight games and look as dominant as any team in the NFL right now thanks to that lethal combination.

If there’s a reason to think that the Eagles can return to the Super Bowl, a defense that slowed down the Ravens' Lamar Jackson-led offense is that reason.
