After Thursday's game between the Panthers and the Eagles, Carolina head coach Ron Rivera said his team couldn't settle for field goals and expect to beat good teams. The Panthers kicked three field goals and only scored two touchdowns, losing 28-23.
Panthers fans and media members focused on Rivera's message. I focused on the way he addressed the Eagles as a good team.
Rivera is right. The Eagles are a good team.
They are 5-1, tied for the best record in the NFL. The Eagles have passed every test that has come their way. The Eagles are the only team in the league to play four road games so far.
