NFL fans are calling the league-leading Philadelphia Eagles “overrated” following the release of a viral video detailing their lady luck this year.
The Eagles’ thrilling Week 12 win over the Buffalo Bills at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday moved the reigning NFC Champions to 10-1 on the year. A win over the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday will put Philly a step closer to locking down the NFC’s top seed for the second straight year.
The popular NFL Memes social media page shared a video highlighting just how fortunate the Eagles are to be 10-1 this year. As you can see in the clips from the Eagles’ Week 9, Week 11 and Week 12 wins (over Dallas, Kansas City and Buffalo, respectively), Nick Sirianni and company are just a few bounces away from being 7-4 instead of 10-1.
Needless to say, plenty of fans concurred with the NFL Memes take.

The Eagles certainly caught some lucky breaks in their wins over the Cowboys, Chiefs and Bills. But as a wise person once said, “The better you are, the luckier you get.”
Jalen Hurts is playing like an MVP candidate again. DeVonta Smith, A.J. Brown, Dallas Goedert and D’Andre Swift are overwhelming opposing defenses with their speed and slick game-changing abilities.
On defense, a group that recorded 70 sacks a year ago added a lights-out rookie in Jalen Carter, who’s performing like a seasoned veteran. Say what you want about the Eagles’ serendipity this year, but it’s not a fluke that they’re 10-1 with a star-studded roster and elite head coach.
