Philly Leader

Sunday's victory in Baltimore has positioned the Philadelphia Eagles for a promising end to the 2024 regular season. With a record of 10-2 and eight consecutive wins, the team is preparing for their upcoming match against the Carolina Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles will play four of their last five games at home.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been pivotal in this winning streak. His performance statistics during these games include an average of 9.1 yards per pass attempt, a passing touchdown-to-interception ratio of 10-1, and a passer rating of 114.1. Hurts also has ten rushing touchdowns in these victories.

Hurts expressed his confidence after Sunday's game: "Confidence I think is good for us," he said. He emphasized that continuous improvement drives both him and the team forward.

The Eagles' defense has also shown significant improvement, allowing only 15.3 points per game since Week 6 compared to 24 points per game in the first four weeks. Linebacker Zack Baun attributed this success to an underdog mentality and aggressive play: "I think a lot of guys on this defense and this team have been underdogs for a long time."

Head Coach Nick Sirianni praised his team's ability to control the clock with an extended drive late in Sunday's game: "Tough, physical, and that's against, a tough, physical football team," he stated.

Running back Saquon Barkley continues to make history with his eighth game surpassing 100 rushing yards this season, tying an Eagles single-season record set by Wilbert Montgomery in 1981.
