The Philadelphia Eagles are trying to recover after their Week 12 collapse against the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles held a commanding lead before surrendering 24 unanswered points in a defeat that exposed unexpected vulnerabilities.
Questions about their offensive identity have emerged as the season progresses. Entering their Week 13 game against the Chicago Bears, analyst Cris Collinsworth revealed a big concern about the Eagles.
“I think, to some extent, they haven’t completely opened up that offense,” Collinsworth said.

Collinsworth also questioned whether the offensive line has declined from its dominant standard. The unit that once separated itself from the rest of the league may no longer be operating at that elite level, a shift that could impact overall execution.
The running game has become a particular problem for Philadelphia. After 12 weeks, the Eagles rank 21st in rushing offense and have allowed more yards on the ground than they have gained. The drop from last season is stark, especially considering Saquon Barkley gained more than 2,000 yards and the team retained most of that roster.
A critical moment against Dallas illustrated the offensive struggles. Philadelphia faced a third-and-2 at its 37-yard line with the score tied in the fourth quarter.
Rather than lean on the ground game in a situation that typically demands it, the Eagles abandoned the approach that made them formidable a year ago, and quarterback Jalen Hurts was sacked.
If they cannot execute fundamental plays in crucial moments, their championship window may close faster than expected. Converting routine opportunities defines contenders from pretenders down the stretch.
