Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean joined NFL Network’s «Good Morning Football» on Friday and said the team will continue to adopt a chaser mentality despite the expectations.

«We have a lot of underdogs on the team, a lot of people who play with a lot of chips on their shoulders. So we’ll never sit back and act like we’re the ones with the targets on our backs.» Dean said.

«We don’t look at it as if we have the target on our back. We look at it as if we are the ones hunting.»
