(In serious voice)... "How will Carson Wentz handle 'the adversity?'"

As we know, power rankings are kind of pointless, but we click them anyway. Here's a roundup of where the Eagles "rank" a week after their first loss of the season to the Detroit Lions.

ESPN: 11th


#JimmyNote: The 2-3 Cardinals and 2-3 Bengals are ahead of the Eagles here, somehow.

NFL.com: 9th

#JimmyNote: So Le'Veon Bell is worth 31 points?

USA Today: 9th

Time to see how they cope with a touch of adversity with three division road games and date with Vikes over next four weeks.

#JimmyNote: USA Today actually has the Eagles ranked a spot ahead of the Cowboys. Can't say I agree there. (Ducks).

Yahoo: 9th

As I mentioned yesterday in Winners and Losers, the Eagles have a really tough schedule coming up. We’ll get to see how rookie quarterback Carson Wentz and rookie coach Doug Pederson handle some adversity.

#JimmyNote: It would appear the new Eagles buzzword is "adversity."

FOX: 10th

Rookie QB Carson Wentz showed he’s human after all on the Eagles’ final snap of Sunday’s loss, throwing a game-sealing interception in the fourth quarter. The Eagles have an incredibly tough road ahead after feasting on easy opponents to start the year. We’ll see what they’re really about in the coming weeks.

#JimmyNote: The Steelers are scrubs, evidently.

CBS: 9th

They lost for the first time, which means their bye came at a bad time. The defense didn't look as good against the Lions.

#JimmyNote: "They lost for the first time, which means their bye came at a bad time." I hope we get invaluable bye week analysis like this all year from CBS.
