The Philadelphia Eagles have won their last two games, but they have faced two teams under .500.
The Philadelphia Eagles' offense has been below average all season.
However, Jalen Hurts and Co. have scored 60 points in their last two games against the Las Vegas Raiders and Washington Commanders.
While many fans and pundits believe the Eagles' offense is back, NFL analyst Jeffri Chadiha of NFL.com wants to "pump the brakes."
After all, the Raiders and Commanders are two of the worst teams in the NFL.
"Let’s pump the brakes on the Eagles’ offensive resurgence for now," Chadiha wrote. "Yes, it’s been encouraging to see an underwhelming unit erupt for 60 points and 390 rushing yards in the last two games. The reality is those numbers came against the Raiders and Commanders, two of the worst teams in the league. We probably won’t even learn that much in the next couple weeks -- Philadelphia will face another bad run defense in Buffalo in Week 17 before a rematch with Washington in the season finale -- and that’s the problem.
"If there’s one thing that should have been learned by watching the Eagles already this season, it’s to not trust your eyes at any moment. There have been too many times when it’s worth believing that offense was finding its way, only to see more inconsistency emerge later. The question the Eagles need to answer is whether they can rely on the same formula that led them to a championship last year, which involved putting the offense on the shoulders of running back Saquon Barkley. He’s now had two 100-yard games in the last three weeks, so that’s a positive sign, especially with his O-line so banged up.
"The Eagles' defense also has the potential to get hot at the right time because coordinator Vic Fangio can scheme with the best of them. But let’s be honest: Something has been off with this team for months. Maybe the Eagles can change that by flipping a switch, but it’s never wise to count on something like that. They broke the 21-year streak of teams not repeating as NFC East champs. Winning a second straight Super Bowl is a whole different type of challenge."
The Eagles are 10-5. They are 16th in the NFL in points per game, 23rd in passing yards and 15th in rushing yards.
Hurts has 3,114 passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns on the season. However, he's failed to throw a TD in four games.
Like Chadiha, let's see how the Eagles perform in the playoffs against good defenses.
