The Philadelphia Eagles have proven that there’s no Super Bowl hangover from last season as they’ve compiled a 9-1 record during the first 11 weeks of the 2023 NFL season.
The Eagles overcame a slow start offensively to the year and look to finally be firing on all cylinders as they’ve got arguably the most well-rounded roster in the league.
Jalen Hurts is back to playing at an MVP level, while the defense remains dominant up front.
Philadelphia is coming off a thrilling Week 11 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs and will look to keep that momentum going against a Buffalo Bills team that’s been up and down this season.
The wide receiver tandem of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith has been a tough cover for every team, and it’s impressive to see considering that Hurts doesn’t have many other reliable options in the passing game.
However, the Eagles are hoping to give him some help as they’ve activated wideout Quez Watkins ahead of their matchup against the Bills via Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Watkins has missed the past five games due to a hamstring injury, but practiced throughout the week and will be available.
Philadelphia hasn’t had a consistent third wide receiver all year, so hopefully Watkins can step in and assume the role now that he’s healthy.
On the year, Watkins has only appeared in three games and compiled just four catches for 21 yards.
However, his speed should help open up the middle of the field for the other receiving options and that should go a long way in cracking the Buffalo defense.
