The Eagles offense collapsed in the second half against the Rams on Sunday, squandering a lead of nearly three scores to fall to 2-2. Jalen Hurts threw for only 93 yards in the loss, his first game without injured receiver DeVonta Smith. The quarterback cited "poor execution" for the offensive struggles rather than blaming injuries or scheme changes, per reporting from Bleeding Green Nation.
Head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged the team's third-down conversion failures after the game, telling reporters the issue falls on everybody. Yahoo Sports reported that Sirianni discussed both play-calling and pass protection struggles as contributing factors. The Eagles' inability to sustain drives in the second half—a recurring problem this season—ultimately led to their defeat, with the Rams mounting a comeback that was powered in part by defensive end Byron Young, according to Yahoo Sports.
