Nick Wright· Nov 29, 2025
Wright says the Eagles' offense is deeply broken but that they will still win their division and finish with a strong record; he also rates Dak Prescott the second-best quarterback in the league this season behind Matthew Stafford, and predicts Myles Garrett breaks the single-season sack record and wins Defensive Player of the Year.
