Eagles Stumble in 34-17 Loss as Ravens Confront 1-4 Start, Putting Coaching and Depth Under the Microscope

Injuries plus thin depth are reshaping early-season expectations.

Overview

  • The Giants toppled Philadelphia 34-17 on Thursday night behind rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo, with the Eagles missing DT Jalen Carter and losing CB Quinyon Mitchell to a hamstring injury.
  • Eagles defenders said they were out‑physicaled and allowed 11 of 16 third downs, while a quiet pass rush produced one sack against a unit that had been among the league’s most sacked.
  • Veteran OT Lane Johnson called the offense predictable and inconsistent after Jalen Hurts missed a wide‑open deep shot and threw a late interception in a second straight defeat.
  • Analysis in Philadelphia has turned to GM Howie Roseman’s offseason choices that thinned defensive depth, with exits such as Josh Sweat, Milton Williams and Darius Slay cited as factors.
  • In Baltimore, WR Rashod Bateman said the 1-4 Ravens “deserve all the criticism” as injuries sideline key players, with the Rams up next after a 44-10 loss to Houston.
