The Philadelphia Eagles won the NFC East this season despite having a below-average offense.
Under first-year OC Kevin Patullo, the Eagles enter the final week of the regular season 24th in yards per game (311.5), 23rd in passing (192.3 YPG), 18th in rushing (119.3 YPG) and 19th in scoring (22.6 PPG), per ESPN.
Philadelphia is also dead last in third-and-punt rate (29.2%) and 25th in first downs/touchdowns per game (18). The team failed to score a single point in the second half last week against the Buffalo Bills.
QB Jalen Hurts, who will not play in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders, will finish the 2025 season with 3,224 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns.
The Eagles are looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions. They likely won't accomplish that goal unless Hurts and the offense turn things around in the playoffs.
"You're constantly on this quest to get better. Even last game, there's things and there's lessons that came out of last game that -- obviously, we're all pissed that we didn't execute and coach as well as we needed to in the second half of that Buffalo game, but I really looked at it as like, 'Man, there's some opportunities here that we can really get better from,' as we went through it as coaches. That's got to be the constant mindset you have," Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said.
"The best teams are playing their best football by the end of the year and that's the teams that continue to excel through the playoffs and continue to go through the playoffs."
The Eagles enter Week 18 as the third seed in the NFC playoffs. They can't drop any lower than third.
If Philadelphia beats Washington and the Chicago Bears lose to the Detroit Lions, Sirianni and Co. will be the No. 2 seed.
