The Philadelphia Eagles' offense has been one of the worst in football this season, which is mind-boggling given the amount of talent they have on that side of the ball.
The Eagles rank 30th in the NFL in yards per game. Not only is their aerial attack struggling mightily, but they have suddenly forgotten how to run the ball, too. That's in spite of having Saquon Barkley, who rushed for 2,005 yards in 2024, in the backfield.
A big part of the problem for Philadelphia's offense is an apparent disconnect between quarterback Jalen Hurts and his wide receivers, which has led to both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith expressing tangible frustration the past several weeks.

Brown in particular has been in the news for a pointed social media post following a Week 4 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and appearing to quit on a route the next game. He then denied that Hurts and Barkley held a private meeting with him, and on that end, he actually ended up being kind of right (it was more of a quick conversation rather than an extended sitdown).
The three-time Pro Bowler has logged just 25 catches for 274 yards and a touchdown this season, and after watching Ja'Marr Chase go for 16 receptions for 161 yards and a score during the Cincinnati Bengals' win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night, former Eagles running back LeSean McCoy had seen enough.
McCoy took to social media to voice his frustrations and appeared to throw some shade at Hurts in the process.
Now, it's also entirely possible that McCoy was directing his fury at Philadelphia's coaching staff, as first-year offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has been under considerable fire through the first six weeks of 2025. But Patullo also isn't the one throwing the football.
Not only has Hurts misfired on a bunch of throws this year, but he has also flat out not seen an open Brown multiple times, including last week against the New York Giants when Hurts threw an interception on a pass intended for Jahan Dotson despite Brown breaking free in the end zone.
Brown himself said that a lack of execution has been the biggest issue for the Eagles this season, so it doesn't seem like anyone is blaming the play calling. Offensive tackle Lane Johnson came close by saying that Philadelphia had been too predictable thus far, but Philly was predictable last year, too; it just worked then.
The Eagles will have a chance to right the ship and snap a two-game losing streak when they face the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday.
