The Eagles fell to 2-4 after losing 25-14 to Carolina. Here are the key plays, standouts, injuries and what comes next
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their fourth consecutive loss, falling to the Carolina Panthers 25-14 in Week 6. Despite the return of wide receiver DeVonta Smith and avoiding turnovers, the Eagles found themselves in a tough spot with three straight NFC East games ahead.

Key factors in the game included the Eagles' rushing offense, which managed only 35 yards, and their defensive struggles, as they allowed three sacks and were outpossessed by Carolina for 34 minutes and 48 seconds. Philadelphia's penalties, 11 in total, only compounded their difficulties. The game turned when Tommy Tremble's second touchdown reception extended Carolina's lead to 25-14 with 6:33 minutes left on the clock, sealing Philadelphia's fate.
Notable performers were Philadelphia's Smith, who caught seven passes for 75 yards and a touchdown, and Dallas Goedert, who added 61 receiving yards. For the Panthers, running back Chuba Hubbard rushed for 120 yards, while quarterback Bryce Young threw two touchdown passes.
Injuries to the Eagles sidelined Nolan Smith with a concussion, Carson Steele with a shoulder injury, and Jordan Davis with an ankle injury. The Eagles' next challenge is hosting the Dallas Cowboys next Monday night, with Jalen Hurts still sidelined with an injury.
