After their four consecutive blowout wins, the Philadelphia Eagles lead the NFL in point differential, at +160. Only five teams in the NFL have a point differential of +100 or better, with the Los Angeles Rams the closest team to the Eagles, at +123.
After Week 12 of the regular season, the Eagles are on pace for a point differential of +233, which would be the 12th-best point differential in the Super Bowl era. If the Eagles are able to keep that pace, they would be in the company of some of the best teams in NFL history.
