The Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) are coming off of a win against the Houston Texans but will be short-staffed moving forward with inside linebacker DeMeco Ryans out for the remainder of the season and quarterback Nick Foles out for the foreseeable future. The team is set to return home after a two-game road trip and Mark Sanchez will be at the helm as the Eagles play the Carolina Panthers (3-5-1).

The Panthers have not seen the consistency on defense that made the unit nearly-unstoppable last season. The loss of impact defender Greg Hardy to suspension has clearly affected the team's success on the field. The Eagles will likely lead a balanced attack against Carolina on offense. On defense, the Eagles will have to contain quarterback Cam Newton.
