The Philadelphia Eagles' offensive strategy has been under scrutiny. Wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are key players, with Brown averaging 97 yards per game and Smith catching 86% of his targets in the past five weeks. The Eagles' rushing game has seen a decline, with only 7 rushes to RBs in the first half on Sunday, averaging 2.1 yards per carry and a 0% success rate. In the first 5 games, the Eagles had the league's top ground game, averaging 164 yards per game and 4.6 yards per carry, but in the last 7 games, they've averaged just 98.8 yards and 3.7 yards per carry. The team's first half offense has also seen a significant change compared to the previous year, trailing by 1.0 ppg at the half this year. There are questions about how the Eagles can regain their previous form and improve their offensive performance.
the Eagles first half offense is VERY different this year in 2022 they led at halftime by 7.8 ppg #1 in NFL this year they trail by 1.0 ppg at the half they went from #1 fastest in 2022 to #25 whats going on? how do they get back on track? READ: https://t.co/9uNNdLNwxt 👀 https://t.co/BEed5JhRYl
For the first 5 games, Eagles had league's top ground game. Averaged 164 yds p/game and 4.6 yds p/carry. But in last 7 games, they've averaged just 98.8 and 3.7. What's happened, and can they get their ground-and-pound mojo back? @pdomo @JAKIBSports https://t.co/gCfQyx1NBX

.@eagles v @49ers Birds had 8 1st & 10 runs…They gained 12 yards. Hard to call a run if you are averaging <2 yards on 1st down. FACTS!!! #BaldysBreakdowns https://t.co/OjRbcajPdj
FWIW: Eagles had 7 rushes to RBs in the first half on Sunday. They average 9.2 this season. They've had three games wit fewer (both Washington games, NYJ game) and two other games with 7 (BUF, LAR). On those 7 rushes, they averaged 2.1 yards per carry and a 0% success rate.
The Eagles have A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith at WR. They both average about 10 yards/target. Smith has caught 86% of his targets in the past five weeks. Brown's averaging 97 yards/game. If I'm an opposing DCs, I'd stand outside NovaCare requesting the Eagles to run the ball.
