Eagles’ offense sputters with 68 net passing yards, 0-12 on third down vs. Rams - NBC Sports
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a significant offensive collapse in their loss to the Rams, failing to convert any of their 12 third-down attempts. Head coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts attributed the poor performance to a lack of execution and rhythm rather than specific scheme failures.
Why it matters
The Eagles' inability to sustain drives highlights critical performance issues that could impact their playoff positioning and team morale.
The boo birds flew early and often in Philly on Sunday, thanks to an offense that couldn’t get off the ground.
The final tally from Sunday’s loss to the Rams: 172 total yards, 68 net yards passing, and 0-for-12 on third down.
Over the last two games, the Eagles have converted only two of 21 third-down opportunities.
After the loss to L.A., Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was asked whether the problems are a result of execution, play-calling, or scheme.
