Philadelphia Eagles schedule: Everything good, bad, and ugly after Week 4

The Philadelphia Eagles had some significant improvements in Week 4

Good: The Eagles offensive performance

The Eagles’ offense after their Week 1 performance against the Atlanta Falcons had been a two-week decline. Bad play calling and bad plays held this offense to only 32 points between Week 3 and 4. After scoring 32 points against Atlanta alone, the concern grew heavily in head coach Nick Sirianni’s ability to put his young offense in a good position.

The offense, in general, had a big bounce back from their performance just six days prior against division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. Quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 32 out of 48 passes for 387 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 40 yards, so having over 400 yards of offense was an excellent way to get back on track.

Hurts had vastly improved his game, and he was a big reason this team was even in the fight for as long as they were. Wide Reciever Devonta Smith also had a big day himself. Smith had seven catches for 122 yards. Hurts and company did an excellent job of exploiting the Chiefs’ secondary with Smith, and the rookie wideout proved why he was a good pick.

Both tight ends, Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert were also significant contributors during this game. Sirianni had a good game plan involving the tight end duo early and often, keeping Kansas City’s defense guessing. The last item to place in the good column was the offensive line. Coming into the Week 4 game, the Birds were down four of their five starters, and for a unit who had never played together, they were able to stand their ground for a majority of the game.
