1) Eagles offense looks to build off Week 15<\/p>\n
The state of the Eagles offense has been a weekly focus throughout Philly’s bid for a repeat. The unit’s struggles hit a nadir during a horrendous Week 14 loss<\/a> to the Chargers in prime time in which Jalen Hurts<\/a> had five turnovers — including two on the same play — prompting debate on if Nick Sirianni should consider a QB change. That obviously<\/a> did not happen, and the Eagles responded last week with one of their best offensive performances to date in a 31-0 win<\/a> over the Raiders. Performances against Las Vegas this season should be taken with a grain of salt, but the 31 points are the most that the Eagles have scored since Week 8. Hurts wasn’t asked to do too much (15 pass attempts), but he finished 12 of 15 with three TDs for a 154.9 passer rating (second career game with a 150-plus rating). His 80% completion percentage was more than 20 points higher than what Hurts posted during the Eagles’ previous three-game losing streak, and he’ll face another struggling defense on Saturday in the Commanders. Washington enters Week 16 with the NFL’s 31st-ranked defense (382.6 yards allowed per game), 26th-ranked scoring unit (26.8 PPG) and 31st-ranked opposing passer rating (107.3). With Saquon Barkley<\/a> battling a stinger during the week, Hurts could be asked to lead the offense in the potential playoff-clincher. If that is the case, expect to see a bigger role for wideouts A.J. Brown<\/a> and DeVonta Smith<\/a>, who combined for just four targets in Week 15 as Philly cruised to a blowout win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1) Eagles offense looks to build off Week 15 The state of the Eagles offense has been a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65785,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[4983,3265,3264,6108,35067,139,3266,69,4538,71,70,3267,35068,18022],"class_list":["post-65784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-a-j-brown","tag-around-the-nfl","tag-game-preview","tag-jalen-hurts","tag-marcus-mariota","tag-news","tag-no-minute","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-regular-season","tag-terry-mclaurin","tag-washington-commanders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
