Philadelphia Eagles are currently the only undefeated team in the NFL so far, as they have won all of their six games so far this season. Already, many experts are calling them the favorites to win the Super Bowl, as they have looked invincible so far.

Now, after adding the 3x Pro Bowl defensive end in Quinn, the Eagles have made a massive upgrade in their squad. Although the 231 lbs pass rusher made only one sack this season, he made around 18.5 sacks last season. The Bears finished third in their respective division and missed the playoffs; however, Quinn was one of their standout players.
