Eagles’ First Loss Spotlights Offensive Strain as Week 5 Errors Shake Up NFL Perception

Betting markets tightened after a mistake-filled Week 5 that left Philadelphia's battered offense under the microscope.

Overview

  • Denver erased a 17-3 deficit to beat Philadelphia 21-17, snapping the Eagles’ 11-game win streak and drawing attention to Saquon Barkley’s six carries.
  • Analysts point to injuries to Cam Jurgens, Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson as the primary driver of the Eagles’ offensive slide from their recent standard.
  • Costly mistakes loomed large leaguewide, including Emari Demercado’s 72-yard run overturned to a touchback and a roughing-the-kicker flag that nullified a Chargers punt-return touchdown.
  • In London, Carson Wentz went 9-for-9 on a late drive to hit Jordan Addison with 25 seconds left, giving the Vikings a 21-17 win over the Browns despite a patchwork line.
  • Sportsbooks still list Philadelphia as a touchdown-range favorite at the Giants on Thursday as futures tighten and Kevin Patullo’s early tenure as offensive coordinator faces renewed scrutiny.
