Eagles Remain Unbeaten, but Their One Big Flaw Continues to Show

Yes, it's nitpicking to try to find anything wrong with a team that's 8-0 and often looks dominant and maybe even unbeatable.

The Texans, 1-6-1 and probably the worst team in the NFL, came pretty close. They were tied 14-14 at the half and down only 21-17 when the fourth quarter started.

But the Texans were able to sustain drives — including their first scoring drive on the opening possession all season long
