Philadelphia Eagles Strive for Team Success over Individual Glory
As the Philadelphia Eagles continue their winning streak, with 11-2 record, it’s evident that the team has undergone a significant transformation. While quarterback Jalen Hurts’ passing yards have decreased, the team’s focus has shifted to a more balanced offense.
The emergence of running back Saquon Barkley, acquired in the offseason, has been a game-changer for the Eagles. Barkley leads the NFL with nine 100-plus rushing yard games this season, and is on pace to break the single-season rushing record. His addition has allowed the team to evolve from a pass-happy offense to a more well-rounded attack.
Hurts acknowledges the changes, stating, “Things change as dynamics change, and the dynamic of our team has changed. We had a great addition in Saquon Barkley, and he’s been able to impact this team in a tremendous way. We’ve always been able to run the ball at a high level. He’s taken it to the next level.”
Despite the nagging questions about the team’s air attack, Hurts remains focused on the bigger picture. “I think overall that’s where my focus is…I think that’s where everyone’s focus is at heart and trying to do what’s best for the team. Ultimately, everyone cares about the team’s success. Whenever something happens, whatever it is, I look at myself first because everything starts and ends with me.”
