Week 5 of the NFL season is in the books, and we saw the New York Giants fall to 1-4, so there are no new obituaries this week. The NFC East does not have a single team with a winning record, and the NFC as a whole only has four.

Are power rankings completely dumb and meaningless? Yes. Yes, they are. However, personally speaking, whenever I see them, I click. And now that I've sucked you in with promises of many power rankings, you'll read it and like it.

As the Philadelphia Eagles continue to undergo changes in what has been an odd, disappointing season through five games, it's been interesting keeping tabs on the Birds' snaps counts. Here, we'll take a look at the Eagles' snaps against the Vikings.

Ajayi joins a long list of Eagles players who are either on IR, PUP, or NFI, including S Rodney McLeod (IR), DT Timmy Jernigan (NFI), WR Mike Wallace (IR), WR Mack Hollins (IR), ST Chris Maragos (PUP), and TE Richard Rodgers (IR).

During the Philadelphia Eagles' run to the Super Bowl last season, one of the components of their success, most observers believed, was that the team exuded strong chemistry and a healthy locker room.

One of the major themes of the 2018 NFL season, league-wide, has been the enforcement of laughable roughing the passer calls, whether they be for accidental and/or harmless contact with a quarterback's helmet, any kind of contact with the quarterback's leg below the knees, or landing on the quarterback with body weight.

The Philadelphia Eagles have missed important players all season long, and Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings will be no different. Meanwhile, the Vikings come into this game missing some key players as well, most notably their best player on defense in Everson Griffen, who is dealing with personal issues. Here are Eagles-Vikings inactives.

In past seasons, Philadelphia Eagles fans generally rooted for their own team, and kept an eye on the rest of the NFC East. In 2018, with the Birds being among the favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, it's perhaps worth keeping tabs on the conference, as opposed to just the division. You know, assuming they get out of this early-season funk. And so, each week we'll lay out a rooting guide for non-Eagles games on the NFL schedule, and yes, I'm aware that most of the below is obvious.

It's only Week 5 of the 2018 NFL season, and the Philadelphia Eagles have already lost as many games as they did all of last year. They now sit at 2-3 after two consecutive sloppy losses, and look like a shell of the team that won the Super Bowl. As always, win or lose, we hand out 10 awards.

The Philadelphia Eagles will head back home to the friendly (or perhaps unfriendly) confines of Lincoln Financial Field, where the Birds currently have a 13-game winning streak going, that is if you don't count the meaningless Week 17 game last season when the Eagles' JV team lost to the Cowboys' varsity team. One of those wins, of course, was the Eagles' 38-7 rout over the Vikings in the NFC Championship Game, when Nick Foles suddenly caught fire and would eventually finish the job in the Super Bowl... in Minnesota.
