Last week: 18
The Eagles had another strong offensive performance this week, but the fact that they have forced just 4 punts to 58 first downs allowed has to be incredibly concerning. They have 5 takeaways (and a forced turnover on downs), but they can’t continue relying on that to stop the opposition from scoring. They have to be able to force punts. Their offensive style of play doesn’t help matters as any time they can’t score offensively, it’s usually a very quick drive and not enough time for the defense to rest. Luckily, their offense has played well so far (48 first downs to 9 punts), but if they start struggling, this could really snowball on them if their defense can’t turn it around and I don’t know if they have the talent to.
