Zach Ertz: Eagles' goal for 2015 is to go 16-0

The Philadelphia Eagles have set lofty expectations for 2015.

Tight end Zach Ertz told NFL Network that he and his teammates are aiming to win every game.

"We want to win each and every game we go out there, and that's the goal, 16-0 for us right now," Ertz said, according to Pro Football Talk.

That, coupled with Byron Maxwell's guarantee that the Eagles will advance to Super Bowl 50, puts a lot of pressure on Philadelphia this season. The team's chances of achieving both aren't great, either.

Since the NFL was founded in 1920, just one team (the 1972 Miami Dolphins) has played a complete perfect season. The New England Patriots went 16-0 in 2007, but ended up losing to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
