Eagles’ Defense Dominates Cowboys and Giants in Historic Fashion
The Eagles’ defense has made NFL history by holding both the Cowboys and Giants to under 50 passing yards in a game this season. These are the only two games this year where an offense has finished with fewer than 50 passing yards. The combination of the Eagles’ tough defense and the Cowboys’ and Giants’ poor offense led to these rare stats, which no one has seen before in NFL history.
Only two teams in history have thrown 17 or more passes but gained fewer than 50 passing yards, and those teams were the Cowboys and Giants against the Eagles. The Eagles are playing great football right now, helped by having two weak teams in their division.
Eagles Dominate Cowboys in Week 10
The Eagles beat the Cowboys 34-6, with the Cowboys struggling to produce offense. It took them 56 plays to gain just 146 yards, averaging 2.6 yards per play. For context, the worst offense in the NFL this season (Cleveland Browns) averages 4.2 yards per play.
The Eagles allowed only two field goals, both set up by good field position. The first was from a KaVontae Turpin kick return that gave the Cowboys the ball at their own 40-yard line, and the second came after a fumble by Jalen Hurts gave Dallas the ball on the Eagles’ six-yard line.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s defense has now kept three out of the last five opponents from scoring a touchdown. Since allowing four touchdowns to the Buccaneers in Week 4, the Eagles’ defense has given up just four touchdowns in the next five games.
While facing weak quarterbacks and offenses has helped, the Eagles’ defense has dominated, and it’s an impressive feat regardless of the opponent. After some early struggles, Fangio’s defense has really come together. The challenge will be to see how the defense handles stronger quarterbacks in the future. But for now, the defense is doing its part and keeping games close for the offense.
Eagles’ Strong Win Over Cowboys
The Eagles won 34-6 against the Cowboys in Week 10, thanks to Jalen Hurts, who remained strong under pressure. Although Hurts was sacked five times and fumbled once, he completed 7 out of 11 passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns when under duress. Despite a rough game, Hurts made key plays.
On the other hand, the Cowboys struggled, with Cooper Rush not playing well. Rush had trouble under pressure, completing only 37.5% of his passes. The Cowboys’ offense didn’t function well, and without Dak Prescott, they will face a tough second half of the season.
Looking Ahead: Eagles’ Challenges
The Eagles are about to face three strong quarterbacks and two dynamic offenses, which will test their defense. They will need their offense to step up in those games, as it won’t be easy to win with just 17 points against teams like Washington or Baltimore. If the Eagles can win two out of the three games, they will feel confident going forward.
If they lose a couple, it will raise more questions. But for now, they’re on a winning streak and showing improvement each week. The defense has been getting more takeaways, and the team is looking better each game.
The Eagles are well-coached, tough, and physical. Howie Roseman has built a talented roster, and the Eagles didn’t make a move at the trade deadline because they didn’t need to. It’s been exciting to watch the team come together, and it will be fun to see how they perform in the second half of the season.
NFC East Playoff Picture Taking Shape
In Week 11, the Eagles will face Washington in a huge NFC East game. The winner will take control of the division, though both teams are likely to make the playoffs. Washington has a strong 7-3 record and a new coaching staff and quarterback. With the second-easiest remaining schedule, Washington is a real contender. The Eagles have the third-easiest schedule and are also well positioned to make the playoffs.
Eagles’ Turnover Streak
The Eagles have been forcing turnovers at a record pace recently. From Week 4 last year to Week 7 this year, they forced only 12 turnovers in 21 games. But in the last three games, they’ve forced 10 turnovers in just 165 plays. The Eagles couldn’t get turnovers for most of last season and the first part of this season. Now they can’t stop forcing them.
Eagles Prepare for Washington After Big Win
After their big 34-6 win against the Cowboys, the Eagles quickly turn their attention to a key NFC East matchup against Washington. The game is important for both teams, as they battle for the division lead. Washington is playing confidently with a strong 7-3 record. The Eagles will need to make the most of their preparation to take on a tough opponent.
Injury Updates for Week 11
The Washington Commanders are dealing with several injuries as they head into their Thursday night game against the Eagles. The two teams will meet in Philadelphia for a key NFC East game.
Cowboys’ Struggles After Loss to Eagles
The Cowboys are struggling after their loss to the Eagles. Their offense has looked dysfunctional without Dak Prescott, and the game plan didn’t help backup Cooper Rush. The Cowboys are facing a tough road ahead, and it’s hard to find much optimism after their recent performances.
Giants’ QB Situation Uncertain
After a disappointing loss to the Carolina Panthers, Giants coach Brian Daboll opened the door to a possible change at quarterback. Daniel Jones has not played well, and Daboll said the coaching staff will evaluate the situation before their next game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This loss has put pressure on Jones’ starting role.
NFL Draft Update After Week 10
With the NFL playoffs on the horizon for many teams, other teams are already thinking about the upcoming draft. The NFL Draft order is taking shape, with teams that aren’t in playoff contention focusing on building for the future. The draft is set to take place in 2025, and teams are starting to look ahead to the talent available.
