Overview

  • Eagles are 4-0 and host the 2-2 Broncos on Sunday, with sportsbooks listing Philadelphia around -3.5 to -4.5 and totals near 43.5–44.5.
  • Philadelphia’s offense has been uneven, including an 0-for-8 passing second half in Week 4 and an average of 138.0 passing yards per game through four contests, per NFL Research.
  • Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo called target distribution "a great problem" and said he and A. J. Brown are in a good place following the receiver’s terse social-media post.
  • Denver enters off a 28–3 win, leans on a productive ground game and a top-10 defense, and travels on short rest as a road underdog under Sean Payton and QB Bo Nix.
  • One analyst floated an unconfirmed theory that Jalen Hurts may have been affected by a second-quarter hit in Tampa, even as national outlets still rate the Eagles highly, including an A- September grade from USA TODAY and multiple No. 1 power rankings.
