Eagles' offense sputters with 68 net passing yards, 0-12 on third down vs. Rams
The boo birds flew early and often in Philly on Sunday, thanks to an offense that couldn't get off the ground.
The Philadelphia Eagles' offense struggled in their Sunday game against the Rams, amassing only 68 net passing yards and failing to convert on 12 third-down attempts. Head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged that multiple factors contributed to the poor performance, including execution errors and play-calling issues. Quarterback Jalen Hurts agreed, stating that the team lacked "poor execution" in both overall play and collective rhythm.
Injuries to key players like receiver Devonta Smith, tight end Dallas Goedert, right tackle Lane Johnson, and running back Saquon Barkley likely added to the Eagles' struggles. While the team is not out of the playoff picture yet, they need to win at least three of their next five games to secure a better position. If they finish the first nine games at 4-5, 3-6, or 2-7, advancing to the playoffs may become increasingly difficult.
