Key Takeaways

• ESPN places the Eagles at 13th, dropping from 8th, with Tim McManus faulting the offense for lacking identity amid injuries to DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley and a struggling performance from Jalen Hurts. He notes the team has been outscored 31-0 in the second halves of their past two games, and cites a disjointed offensive line and poor third-down efficiency as key issues.
• Sports Illustrated ranks them 19th, down five spots from the prior week, pointing to the second-half stats versus the Rams as the explanatory hinge. Conor Orr also sees a silver lining in having played close to a full-strength Rams, but stresses the historic struggles on offense after halftime.
• The Athletic dwells at 16th and labels the move a panic-point for a team dealing with a slew of injuries and a revamped offense under Sean Mannion. They note Barkley’s injury and the broader roster challenges as they waryly anticipate London game implications.
