The Philadelphia Eagles' dominant 31-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15 was impressive, with the defense getting all the attention.
Defensively, they carried the team by allowing zero points and 75 yards, the fewest allowed by the Eagles since 1955. The unit also got four sacks in the game, including two from Brandon Graham, the first two from him since returning from his short retirement.
In his press conference, reporters asked Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio whether he had seen a performance like that from his unit before. While Fangio acknowledged it, he also wanted to make sure the offense got some attention.
"The answer is yes, but it's rare," Fangio said via The Athletic's Zach Berman. "But our offense played a big part in that, too. They moved the ball, got the run game going. Anytime, you get a game like that, it's usually the whole team contributes."
Eagles' offense came alive finally for a defense that's playing well
Credit needs to be given to the offense as well, which put up nearly 400 yards and saw its running game come to life with almost 200 yards on the ground. The combination of Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Jalen Hurts made them dangerous on the ground.
Speaking of Hurts, it was a bounce-back performance that he desperately needed after over a month of rough performances. He finished completing 75% of his passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns to zero interceptions, adding 39 yards on the ground in the win.
Philly's offense looked completely different with more QB-designed runs and finding more success through the air. It wasn't just forcing the ball to A.J. Brown as it had been for the last three games. Dallas Goedert had two touchdowns, DeVonta Smith had a 44-yard catch, and Brown had a 27-yard score in the game.

Good for Fangio for shifting the focus from the defense to giving the offense some love for their play. Even though the defense might end up carrying this team to an NFC East title, the offense will make or break this team for a Super Bowl title.
