Tanner McKee struggles in place of injured Jalen Hurts and Eagles have first 4-game skid since 2020

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tanner McKee still had a chance in the fourth quarter to win a game for the Eagles. Despite a series of failed screen and swing passes and a stagnant running game, McKee had his first game-winning drive in sight on Sunday in his first start this season for the injured Jalen Hurts.

Tanner McKee started for injured Jalen Hurts in the Eagles' most recent game, their fourth consecutive loss. Despite McKee's efforts, the Eagles fell to the Panthers 25-14. McKee had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter, but failed to capitalize on his opportunity. Philadelphia's offense struggled, putting up only 14 points, and the defense couldn't prevent Carolina from scoring a touchdown.

McKee was sacked three times and didn't lead the team to points. Jalen Hurts will miss at least three more games due to a blood clot in his calf. The Eagles are facing a challenging season, as they need to win seven games to achieve a sixth consecutive winning season.
