(Note: We know it is only preseason football, but any time these days we can get the name of a Philadelphia sports team and the words "winning streak" in the same sentence, we feel compelled ... )
In case you have forgotten, the Eagles are riding a six-game preseason winning streak.The last time they lost an exhibition contest was Aug. 11, 2011, a 24-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
If they run the table this August, they will still be short of the club record (11) for consecutive preseason wins and well off the NFL mark (23, according to footballgeography.com). The Eagles wouldn't be able to touch that number until 2017.
