PostSportsPlus: The undefeated Eagles’ expert guide to perfect seasons and NFL heartbreak
Jeff Fisher parachuted out of a Blackhawk helicopter and landed on the practice field just as the undefeated Tennessee Titans began to stretch on Nov. 20, 2008.
“Going 13-0 or 14-0 doesn’t matter right now. Let’s just see if we can win the next one,” Fisher said of his message. “I told them, ‘We’ll deal with all that other stuff down the line if we get there, but why are we here? It’s not to unseat the Miami Dolphins. It’s to win a championship.’” “The great thing about this situation is there’s only one team in the NFL that can beat us, and fortunately the players are all in this locker room,” Vermeil recalled telling the still-unbeaten Rams. “You have to coach against overconfidence.”
Of the three times Dick Vermeil had the NFL’s last undefeated team, only once, with the 1999 Rams, did he walk away as the champion.This is the point of the season when the proverbial target shifts from the back of the defending Super Bowl champion to this year’s best teams.
The potential for an Eagles undefeated season became a bigger talking point in the last week, despite quarterback Jalen Hurts’ best efforts to quell the chatter by drawing upon his college experience. The combined record of Eagles’ final nine opponents is 39-39-1, including the Giants twice.
