The Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator, Sean Desai, praised rookie Jalen Carter for his impressive performance and love for football. Carter has accumulated 25 quarterback pressures in his first five games, which is nine more than any other rookie defensive tackle during the NextGenStats era. The Eagles' red zone offense and defense have been struggling, ranking in the bottom six in both categories. Despite this, the team remains undefeated. The Eagles had the best third-down conversion rate in Week 5, while their red zone production has been a weakness. There is speculation that quarterback Jalen Hurts could hold the key to improving the team's red zone performance. It is noted that historically, the Eagles' chances of making it to the Super Bowl are slim unless their red zone offense improves. Defenses have been focusing on stopping the run and challenging Hurts to beat them through the air.
History says the Eagles won't make it back to the Super Bowl unless their red zone offense improves. Defenses are doubling down on the run inside the 20 and daring Jalen Hurts to beat them through through the air. My column for @jakibsports: @pdomo https://t.co/498N4hE3uw
Although 5-0, the Eagles have exhibited a weakness: red zone production. Could Jalen Hurts hold the key to improvement? https://t.co/m5aK1FjuVy
