This is a big game. When you’re a contending football team, they all are.

This is a pivotal game in the Doug Pederson era. A win would put us in a great position to have extended success, instead of outlier seasons like 2017. A loss would be detrimental, and will likely give the Colts or Texans the division. A loss would also likely put you in a must-win with some help type of situation.

On defense this Sunday, maybe go man to man defense and get after Mayfield with 5 and 6 defenders on early downs and play the sticks on 3rd downs. 

On offense just feed Etienne. Let him do his thing and get Engram some looks down in the redzone. 

This would be the perfect game for a fake punt and try to steal a possession away and turn it into some points to get this team going. 

Special Teams needs to have a good day. Hopefully Swagnew can bust one, and McManus will get back on track. 

No stupid penalties and missed assignments. 

Should be a good game.
