Eagles Face Reset After Six Straight Losses

The Eagles entered Week 9 on a six-game losing streak, with their worst eight-game start of the century. Power-ranking analysis portrayed the team as a shell of its former self, citing an unsettled offensive line, Tanner McKee’s limitations and disappointing defensive play. Saquon Barkley has also been trying to play through an injury, while his production has fallen from his standout 2024 season.

Philadelphia scored no points in the final 49 minutes and 27 seconds of its Sunday night loss to Washington. The Commanders had entered the game allowing 28.7 points per game, 31st in the NFL. The Eagles’ next game is against the division-leading Giants, and they are expected to wear Kelly Green throwback uniforms.

With the trade deadline a week away, Philadelphia could consider moving players. Moro Ojomo, whose contract is nearing free agency, and Barkley were discussed as possible candidates, though the team has reportedly been reluctant to trade Barkley. Dallas Goedert, Nolan Smith and Riq Woolen were also mentioned as players who could be available for the right offer. Lesser-known players might be more likely to move, while a Jalen Carter trade was also considered a small possibility.

The Eagles hold three selections in the opening round and three in the following round over the next two years. This season was characterized as lost, while the team’s quick recoveries after previous resets were noted. Philadelphia won its first Super Bowl after acquiring running back Jay Ajayi in 2017; he averaged 5.8 yards per carry across seven regular-season games and contributed 254 postseason yards.
