Philadelphia at Buffalo - The Super Bowl champions Eagles have secured the NFC East and not likely to get the No. 1 seed, so less to play for this week. But Philadelphia will be getting back All-Pro interior defender Jalen Carter and All-Pro RT Lane Johnson on Sunday. Buffalo’s offense has a 31% play action rate (4th-highest), and Philadelphia’s defense is surrendering 32% more yards per attempt against play action compared to standard dropbacks (30th).
