Contrast that to the Chiefs who beat an elite team (Bills) who themselves beat an elite team (Ravens) the prior week.

Eagles beat the brakes off the Ravens in in December. The score completely flattered the Ravens, thanks to a garbage time TD.
They also beat the Rams twice, who trounced the Bills.
Overall, the NFC was the better conference this year.
I would still bet the Chiefs to win this game, but to say the Eagles haven't defeated any good teams just isn't true.
