Analysis: Eagles Have Been NFL’s Most Consistent Team Despite Not Playing Up To 2022 Standard

There’s no Super Bowl hangover in Philadelphia.

The Eagles (7-1) have the NFL’s greatest document and have been probably the most constant crew over the primary half of the season regardless of not taking part in as much as their 2022 normal.

Jalen Hurts has overcome turnovers and a knee damage to play his greatest soccer prior to now two weeks. A.J. Brown is breaking information at extensive receiver, changing into the primary participant in NFL historical past with no less than 125 yards receiving in six consecutive video games.

The offensive line led by All-Pros Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson continues to dominate and the Eagles can beat groups operating or passing the ball.

There’s nonetheless room for enchancment throughout, particularly on protection.

“We have a lot of work to do to make sure we are continuing to climb,” coach Nick Sirianni mentioned. “In this league, you have to be mentally tough to treat the walkthrough, to treat the meetings, to treat the practice the exact same way as you treat it after a win, after a loss, after Week 1, after Week 4, after whatever week we are in right now. I know we’ve got the right guys in that locker room to make sure that we’re getting better.”

The Eagles host the rival Dallas Cowboys (5-2) on Sunday in an NFC East battle that kicks off a tough six-game stretch towards groups with a mixed document of 26-12. After a bye subsequent week, the Eagles go to the Chiefs (6-2) in a Super Bowl rematch, host the Bills (5-3) and 49ers (5-3), go to Dallas and Seattle (5-2).

Nothing lower than a Super Bowl victory can be thought-about a hit in Philadelphia after coming shut final season solely to lose 38-35 to Kansas City.

“We’re just enjoying the journey and I don’t think there’s a point we will arrive as a team,” Hurts mentioned. “Obviously, there’s one stop that we’d like to make in the end, but it’s just a journey. It’s just a journey and you have to really embrace the process of it and that’s what I’ve done. Not worry about anything else, but what’s in front of us and in front of myself in terms of us going out there and winning. That’s the only thing that matters.”

If there was any doubt that Joe Burrow is totally again from a calf damage that restricted him over the primary month of the season, the star quarterback erased it on one play early within the first quarter of a convincing 31-17 win at San Francisco.

Burrow ducked, spun and eluded defenders attempting to sack him on a third-and-10, escaped the strain and accomplished a first-down cross to Tee Higgins. He completed 28 for 32 for 283 yards and three TDs.

The Bengals (4-3) have gained three in a row and after dropping their first two and beginning 1-3. They path the Ravens (6-2) within the AFC North and have robust video games arising towards Buffalo this week and at Baltimore on Nov. 16.

If Burrow performs the way in which he did towards a formidable 49ers protection, the Bengals can beat anybody.

The Titans have cause to be optimistic that they’ve discovered their quarterback of the long run. Will Levis threw 4 TD passes in his NFL debut in a 28-23 win over Atlanta. The rookie second-round choose revived a passing assault that was porous beneath Ryan Tannehill. Even when Tannehill is able to return from an ankle damage, the Titans (3-4) want to stay with Levis. They’re going nowhere within the AFC South and giving Levis extra expertise ought to be a precedence.

The Titans go to Pittsburgh on Thursday evening. It’ll be a possibility for Levis to face a protection that has allowed the third-most yards within the NFL however has gifted gamers, together with 2021 AP Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt.

Three-time All-Pro extensive receiver Davante Adams was visibly sad throughout Las Vegas’ 26-14 loss to Detroit on Monday evening. Adams had one catch for 11 yards, his second-least productive recreation in eight seasons. He slammed his helmet on the sideline and shouted in frustration on the finish of a drive that included Jimmy Garoppolo overthrowing him when he was extensive open on a deep route.

Adams left Green Bay for the Raiders to play together with his buddy Derek Carr earlier than final season. Carr was jettisoned by Las Vegas and Garoppolo was introduced in, however the offense has struggled beneath coach Josh McDaniels.

Adams wasn’t traded earlier than Tuesday’s deadline, however he may ask to be moved within the offseason.
