Sometimes in the NFL, teams have to learn that even in a tough game, they have to work through the adversity of the game and pull out a win. That's something the Philadelphia Eagles have done well under head coach Nick Sirianni.
This challenge was put to the test after a two-loss Green Bay Packers team in Week 10. It took until the fourth quarter for the Eagles to score the first touchdown of the game to put them up 10-0. While Green Bay scored a touchdown, they never scored against Philly. The Eagles won the game 10-7.
After the game, Sirianni spoke to the media about working through the game's ugliness and how his players fought to pick up wins.
“Sometimes it’s going to look really pretty, sometimes it’s not going to look pretty in this league. We’ll be very critical. We’ve got to enjoy these wins. It's hard to come into this place against this team, well-coached, good players, and win a game. So we have to enjoy this. But make no mistake about it: Every one of us is determined to get better and continuing to rise. ….Offensively. We scored 10 points, obviously. That's not enough points. Tonight, it was."

Sirianni and the Eagles have some things they need to clean up on
The offense is the biggest concern, as they had just 294 total yards, yet still managed to win the contest. It was Philly's defense that came to the rescue with under 200 yards and two turnovers in the victory.
Back to the issues on offense, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley barely had 2.7 yards a carry, wide receiver A.J. Brown isn't getting nearly enough targets, and quarterback Jalen Hurts didn't quite take the world by storm with his performance.
Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo is the only central piece to this franchise that requires significant improvement. Patullo's play-calling was at an all-time low versus the Packers, with too many halfback swing passes or draw runs called on third and long.

This week in practice, the Eagles have a ton of work to do, but picking up that win was the most important thing.
