Daily News | Eagles stats: Turnovers, penalties, and Dallas Goedert’s replacements
With eight regular-season games remaining, the Eagles are still atop the NFL and NFC standings. They have the same record as the Minnesota Vikings, although the Eagles own the tiebreaker between the two teams.Entering Week 10, the Eagles boasted the league’s best turnover differential with a league-low three giveaways.
Despite their uncharacteristic miscues, the Eagles still lead the league in turnover differential ; they’re tied with the Raiders for fewest giveaways .Washington’s offense finished with a staggering 40 minutes, 24 seconds in time of possession. The Commanders spent so much time on the field that they doubled the Eagles’ time of possession: 19 minutes, 36 seconds. To their credit, the Commanders came in with a game plan that continuously gashed and exploited the run defense.
The Eagles will need to make quick corrections. Facing a short week, they’ll travel to Indianapolis, where they’ll be tasked with slowing down All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor.The Eagles were flagged seven times for a season-high 75 yards in penalties. When asked, neither center Jason Kelce nor quarterback Jalen Hurts placed any blame on the officials.
Of the team’s seven penalties, two occurred on offense, three on defense, and two on special teams. The most devastating of the bunch was Brandon Graham’s roughing the passer penalty that ridded the offense’s opportunity at a comeback. During the third-down play, Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke was pressured by the Eagles defensive front. Heinicke backpedaled several steps before taking an awkward knee.
It will likely take a group effort to replace Goedert’s snaps. His absence will also open up more opportunities in the passing game for Smith. As they did late in Monday’s game, the Eagles also might elect to run the ball more frequently in multi-tight end sets with Stoll and Calcaterra serving as additional blockers.
