Overview

  • Philadelphia improved to 11-5 and clinched the division with a 13-12 win over Buffalo, then produced only 17 yards after halftime and punted five times.
  • Jalen Hurts finished 13-of-27 for 110 yards and a touchdown, going 0-for-7 in the second half with no passing yards as four straight series ended three-and-out.
  • Nick Sirianni said key players will sit in Week 18 against Washington, making Hurts likely to rest despite potential seeding scenarios.
  • Analyst Greg Cosell said the game plan and passing concepts limited opportunities for Hurts, shifting scrutiny toward scheme and play design.
  • ESPN data show the league’s highest-paid offense ranks 24th in yards per game, while Vic Fangio’s defense sits among the league’s best in scoring and efficiency.
