Eagles power ranking roundup: Week 7

Are power rankings completely dumb and meaningless? Yes. Yes, they are. However, personally speaking,

Here's where people have the Birds ranked after Week 6. Oh, and here's our version of these sellout rankings, too.

Everybody wants to be known as a "fourth-quarter team,"

but there's something to be said for stealing the soul from your opponent in the second quarter,

too. From the NFL Media Research Department: The Eagles have scored 112 second-quarter points in 2022,

 the most points in any quarter in NFL history through a team's first six games. Football's lone undefeated team,

 Philly will come out of its Week 7 bye with a favorable schedule,

 with four straight games against teams with three or fewer wins through Week 6. The road to 9-0 is clear for Nick Sirianni's rowdy gang of spirit-swiping marauders.

I thought quarterback Jalen Hurts would improve in his second full season as the starter,

but wasn't expecting him to be in the early MVP conversation. His strides in the passing game have been particularly notable.

 He ranks ninth in completion percentage through six games (66.8%) compared to 26th last year (61.3%).

 He is third in yards per attempt (8.23) and has only committed two turnovers while dropping back 221 times and running it 77 times.
