So now that the 76ers have started winning games and the Flyers have started losing them and the Union are two victories from a championship and the college basketball season is just around the corner, let's ask the question that's at top of mind for every Philadelphia sports fan:
Can the Eagles go unbeaten?
I'm kidding, kind of, and I get it. Don't worry. We'll get to the baseball team in a bit. But this really is a question worth exploring, because a.) the Eagles are 6-0, the last team in the NFL without a loss, and b.) the question is always worth exploring whenever one or more teams make it through at least a third of the regular season unscathed. The Eagles crossed that threshold when they took care of the Cowboys, 26-17, on Oct. 16. (Remember that game? Me neither. A lot has happened since then.)
