PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A convincing 18-point victory in the season opener would leave most teams feeling satisfied about their performance.

Not the Philadelphia Eagles. Not this year.

The Eagles have a long way to go if they’re going to fulfill their goal of winning the Super Bowl. Beating the St. Louis Rams 31-13 on Sunday was a nice start. Still, there’s plenty room for improvement.

“We’ve got a lot of things to work on after the game yesterday,” coach Andy Reid said Monday. “The players, I could tell by the comments that they were humble and they understand the situation that we’ve got to continue to get better.”
