If I remember correctly, the Eagles were 1-2 going into that game. They had just lost games to the Giants and the Falcons, both considered elite teams. All expectations were that they'd mop the floor with the 9ers. After the loss they had a freefall season. It just got worse and worse. So, I think his rating was based upon how badly they did.
