The Philadelphia Eagles are facing significant issues with their defense, particularly in run defense, having allowed a league-high 6.4 yards per carry and ranking 25th against the run. Following a disappointing loss to the Atlanta Falcons, which included missed tackles and a lack of pass rush, former Eagles linebacker Seth Joyner criticized the coaching and player performance, highlighting the need for immediate improvement. Notably, the Eagles have struggled against dynamic running backs like Alvin Kamara, who could exploit these weaknesses in their upcoming game. In addition, discussions around game strategy have emerged, particularly regarding a pivotal pass play in the final minutes of the Falcons game that ultimately resulted in a loss. Despite the turmoil, the franchise has seen a rise in its valuation, ranking as the ninth most valuable NFL team. The team's ongoing defensive struggles have left fans and analysts concerned about the season ahead.
