Another blowout loss, another turnover for Jalen Hurts, another first quarter without a point and a whole lot more in the latest Roob’s Eagles stats.
Another blowout loss. Another turnover for Jalen Hurts. Another first quarter without a point. This week’s Roob Stats column isn’t exactly brimming with numbers that are going to fill your heart with joy.But the show must go on. There must be stats. Every week. No matter how badly the Eagles lose. Those are the rules around here.
So we’ll start out with some fun Saquon Barkley, Dallas Goedert and Brandon Graham numbers, but after that? With 84 yards on 10 carries Sunday after 147 yards on 17 carries against the Saints , Saquon Barkley became the 13player in NFL history with consecutive games with double-digit carries and at least an 8.4 rushing average. Among the others to do it are O.J. Simpson, Tony Dorsett, Barry Sanders and Adrian Peterson but also Herman Heard, Tatum Bell and Matt Breida.
4. The Eagles have gone six consecutive games without scoring in the first quarter for the first time since 1955, when they had a seven-game stretch of games without a 1-quarter point. That streak started in Week 4 in at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh in a 13-7 loss to the Steelers and continued through Week 10 and a 23-21 loss to the Rams at Connie Mack Stadium.
7. Jalen Hurts is also only the sixth Eagles quarterback since 1960 to open a season with four consecutive games with a passer rating under 90. The others are Mike Boryla in 1976, Ty Detmer in 1997, Doug Pederson in 1999, Donovan McNabb in 2003 and Carson Wentz in 2020. Overall, Hurts has had a passer rating below 90 in five straight regular-season games. Hurts was sacked six times for 44 yards.
10. This was only the fourth time in the last 35 years where the Eagles allowed at least 220 more passing yards than they gained. The Bucs netted 334 passing yards and the Eagles had just 114. Tampa had three times as many passing first downs as the Eagles .
