Overview

  • Philadelphia lost 21-17 to Denver in Week 5, surrendering an 18-0 fourth quarter that ended a 10-game winning streak.
  • Jalen Hurts said the offense must finish stronger in the fourth quarter, taking personal responsibility for not closing out the game late.
  • Hurts described the offense as having "the same ingredients" with a "different chef," addressing differing voices in the room; some outlets interpreted the remark as a reference to new OC Kevin Patullo.
  • The Eagles rank near the bottom of the NFL in yards per game and are under 100 rushing yards per game, with Saquon Barkley still seeking his first 100-yard outing after a 30-yard, six-carry day vs. Denver.
  • Hurts’ season shows mixed metrics with fewer passing yards but a career-best 101.3 passer rating through five games and 11 total touchdowns, as Philadelphia turns to a Thursday night visit to the Giants.
