The Philadelphia Eagles made a strong statement on Sunday, proving that they’re legitimate Super Bowl contenders by taking down the Ravens in Baltimore.

The win also makes it eight in a row for Philadelphia and maintains its two-and-a-half-game lead over Washington for the NFC East lead with five weeks left on the schedule. Also, the Eagles are now firmly in contention with the Lions for the No. 1 seed in the conference.

Move to Make Now: Sign EDGE Justin Houston

The Eagles’ edge-rushers have taken a hit recently with Bryce Huff suffering a wrist injury and Brandon Graham going down with a triceps injury that will sideline Graham for the rest of the year. Granted, the club did claim Charles Harris off waivers this week, but it couldn’t hurt to bring in another veteran pass-rusher with playoff experience.

Houston obviously isn’t the player he used to be, but the 35-year-old did have 9.5 sacks two years ago and would be worth the practice squad addition to provide some insurance heading into the postseason.

2025 Free Agency: EDGE Dante Fowler Jr., Washington Commanders

On a similar note, Graham is expected to retire at the end of the year, and Josh Sweat is an impending free agent. While Nolan Smith could take over as the starter moving forward, the defense could still use some pass-rush help.

That’s where Fowler comes in, as he’s been having a strong campaign with 8.5 sacks this fall heading into the weekend. While the 30-year-old who turns 31 in August has never been much of a run defender, he can get after the quarterback with over 50 career sacks.

Plus, it’d be nice to steal a player from one of Philadelphia’s biggest rivals and likely the club’s biggest challenger in the division moving forward.

2025 NFL Draft: DL Kenneth Grant, Michigan

Barring picking up his fifth-year option, Jordan Davis will be entering a contract year next season, and Howie Roseman typically likes to stay a year ahead of his team’s needs in the draft. So, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Michigan product is on Roseman’s radar—he could be a good run-stuffer in the middle to replace Davis.

“[Grant] has pop in his hands to win at the point of attack and gain control of the block,” the Wolverine’s scouting report says. That, combined with a sturdy base, makes him very difficult to move one-on-one and decent against double teams.

“He might concede a yard when taking on combo blocks, but he can dig his heels in the ground to avoid getting pushed too far down the field or out of his gap. … Overall, Grant’s size and strength should help him at least be a good two-down interior defensive lineman in the NFL.”
