Philadelphia Eagles: Is This the Most Dangerous NFL Playoff Team?

The Philadelphia Eagles strengthened their hold on the NFC East Sunday with a 30-27 win over the Dallas Cowboys. 

With a 9-4 record, the Eagles are primed to win the NFC East and could finish with the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Given Philadelphia's explosiveness on offense, coupled with the 12th-ranked defense, a high seed in the postseason could be all the Eagles need to be Super Bowl contenders.

With quarterback Michael Vick healthy and playing perhaps the best football of his career, the Eagles possess offensive weapons other teams just can't stop.

When clicking on all cylinders, which it appears they're doing now, the Eagles are the fastest team in football. At a moment's notice, Vick can tuck the ball and run if given even the smallest of seams. 

On the season, Vick has rushed for 483 yards and seven touchdowns on 82 attempts. His numbers are better than many second-string running backs and third-down backs.

This season has also seen a resurgence in Vick's passing proficiency. Always known as a run-first quarterback, Vick's legacy had been defined by his legs and seemingly uneasiness in the pocket. Under head coach Andy Reid's guide, Vick has transformed himself into a superior pocket passer with the added ability to explode for a run.

This season, Vick has thrown for 2,513 yards and 17 touchdowns in just 10 games. It's his highest total passing since the 2,936 yards he threw for in his second year in the league. 

While Vick is extremely explosive and does have the ability to determine the outcome of a game, the Eagles' success this season isn't solely because of him.

Philadelphia's wide receiving corps and stable of running backs have the ability to put points on the board quickly.

Running back LeSean McCoy set a new career-high with 149 rushing yards Sunday against Dallas and has been peaking at the right time as the Eagles strive for a high seed in the postseason. It was DeSean Jackson that stole the show against the Cowboys, though. 

The speedy wide receiver hauled in four catches for 210 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown pass that put the Eagles ahead for good in the fourth quarter.

The 210-yard explosion was Jackson's highest total this year, but the receiver has a number of productive games on his resume, including three 100-plus yard efforts.

All told, the Eagles present a well-balanced offensive unit that can seemingly find the end zone whenever it pleases. Looking ahead to the postseason, Philadelphia's balanced and explosive offense is sure to cause headaches for nearly any opponent it sees and could perhaps be the NFL's most dangerous playoff team.
