Lurie Voices 'Zero Concern' as Eagles' Three-Game Slide Tests Defending Champs

Team leaders cite Vic Fangio’s continuity plus a favorable schedule as reasons the slump will not mirror 2023.

Overview

  • Philadelphia sits at 8-5 after an 8-2 start, with five straight games under 21 points during a three-game losing streak.
  • The latest setback was a 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers in which Jalen Hurts had four interceptions and a lost fumble.
  • Owner Jeffrey Lurie told The Athletic he has "zero concern," labeling some turnovers as flukes and praising the defense and special teams.
  • Players push back on comparisons to the 2023 collapse, with DeVonta Smith calling it "nowhere close" and Saquon Barkley stressing lessons learned, while Vic Fangio’s presence is cited as a stabilizing factor.
  • The Eagles remain two games up in the NFC East and face the Raiders (2-11), two meetings with the Commanders (3-10), and a trip to the Bills (9-4).
