The Philadelphia Eagles have not played perfect. And yet their record remains perfect.
That's a scary proposition for the rest of the league, starting with the New York Jets, who the Eagles will play in Week 6.
The Eagles are 5-0, but it wasn't until last week's 23-14 win over the Los Angeles Rams that they started to fully resemble the team that went to the Super Bowl last season. Jalen Hurts was effective in the air and on the ground, throwing for 303 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 72 yards and another score. Dallas Goedert was involved early and often with 117 yards and a touchdown. A.J. Brown added 127 receiving yards and six catches.
And the Philadelphia defense, in the second half, limited the Rams to 82 yards and zero points.

But there are still areas that need improving, including the offense's red zone opportunities.
The Eagles face a Jets defense that entered the season as one of the top ranked defenses in the league but currently sits middle of the pack statistically at 21 points allowed per game (14th) and below average at 352.6 yards per game (22nd).
The Jets snapped a three-game losing streak last week with a 31-21 win over the Denver Broncos. It was their first time eclipsing the 30-point mark this season, setting a season-high in total yards with 407. That was thanks in large part to running back Breece Hall, who ran for 177 yards on 22 carries, including a 72-yard touchdown run. Zach Wilson, who took over for Aaron Rodgers as starting quarterback after the future Hall of Famer suffered an Achilles injury on the Jets' first possession of the season, completed 19 of 26 for 199 yards with one interception.
