Eagles Power Rankings: The Struggling Birds Continue Their Slide.
The Philadelphia Eagles are not living up to expectations and their power rankings reflect that, with most outlets placing them in the 10-12 range after week 14 of the season.
According to NFL.com, ESPN, USA Today, Yahoo!, The Athletic, CBS, and PhillyVoice, the team's performance has been a mixed bag. On one hand, they have a talented roster and a solid defense that can carry the team through some tough games. On the other hand, quarterback Jalen Hurts is struggling to find his footing and the offense is lacking cohesion.
The Eagles' struggles are evident in their stats, with 28th-ranked third-down conversions, -280 rushing yardage differential from last season, and a paltry passer rating of 31.2 for Hurts on Monday night. The team's defense has been able to hold opponents to just 3.9 yards per play, but it hasn't been enough to compensate for the offense's shortcomings.
A.J. Brown, one of the most high-leverage players in the league, had a disastrous game on Monday night with three critical drops and Hurts' fourth interception. Brown has been vocal about wanting a more wide-open approach to the Eagles' offense, but it seems like they're struggling to execute even that.
The question now is whether the Eagles can get back on track after this third straight loss. Their upcoming game against the Raiders could be just what they need to turn things around, but for now, their power rankings reflect a team in flux.
Here are the average power rankings from each outlet:
Week 1: 1.0

. I mean, Jalen Hurts is just not having a good game, you know? 
And A.J. Brown's drops were, like, super painful to watch 
. But at the same time, their defense is still holding it down, you feel? 
They're like the solid foundation of the team that's trying to keep everyone else from falling apart. 
. And I don't know, man... maybe they need to make some changes or something? Like, change up their strategy or whatever. 
But at the same time, I love A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts, you know? They're my guys 
.
I'm lovin' how the Eagles are strugglin' right now lol, like they thought they were gonna cruise to another Super Bowl appearance? The team's got heart, but Jalen Hurts is just not gettin' it done on offense, you feel me? 
3rd and 5 conversions are straight up laughable, fam. A.J. Brown's drops are a major issue, can't have him droppin' touchdowns all game 
. i don't know man, i think this team has more potential than they're showing right now. maybe they just need a shakeup or something. but power rankings? please 
.
Still hoping for them, though! 
. Jalen Hurts is like a quarterback with no identity crisis, just struggling to find his groove 
. And A.J. Brown is like a receiver who always wants more, but can't get it together 
. I mean, 28th-ranked third-down conversions? That's like, basic math 
. But for now, their power rankings are like a big fat "Meh" 
they got this talented roster, but it's all about cohesion and Hurts finding his groove 
, but that's not enough to make up for the offense's mistakes. A.J. Brown had a stinker of a game 
or else they might be stuck in 10-12 range forever
