The Philadelphia Eagles look poised to move up the pass rankings after trading for WR A.J. Brown just before this year’s draft. His presence allows WR DeVonta Smith and TE Dallas Goedert to see weaker coverage on more plays. QB Jalen Hurts already has a high floor as a runner (139/794/10), and his passing production may jump by 25% if the Eagles allow him to throw the ball more often. Last year, Philly fans pined for their offense to run the ball at a higher rate after starting the season with a 2-5 record. From Week 8 to Week 15, over seven games, the Eagles went 5-2 while averaging 214 rushing yards and 13 combined touchdowns on the ground. With improved defensive play, Philly has the offensive talent to challenge the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC East title.
OFFENSE
The Eagles ran the ball 52.7% of the time while leaving some rushing stats on the table between Week 3 and Week 6 (12/64, 19/103/1, 22/91/2, and 19/100/2). Over their other 13 matchups, Philly averaged 36.8 rushes but only 25.9 passes over their final 11 games. With minimal improvement in the run and pass games, the Eagles could reach 7,000 offense yards (3,000 rushing and 4,000 passing), giving them a top-tier offense.
