NFC team grades: 49ers top of class through four games, Rams, Eagles slip to middling marks

CBS Sports has evaluated the initial quarter of the NFL season for the NFC, awarding the San Francisco 49ers high praise while handing out middling marks to clubs like the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. Reviewing the first four contests, analysts pointed to significant hurdles for several squads, including early season injuries and uneven performances across units.

The Philadelphia Eagles sit at an even two and two following a sluggish opening stretch, weighed down by an attack struggling in success rate and efficiency metrics alongside health concerns for key playmakers. Meanwhile, the division-leading Giants hold a three and one record despite suffering major blows to their roster, notably losing their promising signal-caller to a season-ending knee setback alongside another significant injury on the defensive side.
