It's been a memorable season for the Eagles this year, and possibly at times one to forget. However, one statistic that hasn't been talked about enough this year is how the Eagles have been with protecting the football.
"The Eagles' three turnovers this season are the fewest in the NFL and tied for their fewest through eight games all time.-- ESPN Research"
Eagles' offense doesn't like giving the ball to the other team easily
Now this doesn't account for the mishaps on special teams with "muffed" kicks by A.J. Dillon and Tank Bigsby, however, all-in-all, Philadelphia has been extremely efficient when it comes to taking care of the football, which has equated to six wins in 2025 along with the number one seed in the NFC midway through the season.
The ability to avoid turnovers has many positives for the Eagles this year. It allows them to continue being efficient in the red zone, while also not putting their defense in positions to fail with short fields.
Jalen Hurts has been the key as the Eagles' franchise quarterback has thrown one interception on 215 pass attempts. For context, Hurts' 0.5% interception percentage is only second to Justin Fields, who has thrown zero interceptions on 167 pass attempts, nearly 50 less than Hurts.
As a team, the Eagles have only fumbled five times, with one of those coming from a "botched" snap from Cam Jurgens. Hurts has fumbled three times, recovering once, along with Dillon fumbling as well. With the ability to protect the football and the fact that Philadelphia has forced seven turnovers itself, the formula for success is pretty straightforward so far this season.

The Eagles are set to take on the Packers this week, a team that has only forced six turnovers so far this season. With Philadelphia's ability to control and take care of the football, the Eagles are in a highly advantageous position to continue succeeding and extending their current record of fewest turnovers through an NFL season after Week 10.
