The Philadelphia Eagles’ record is 6-2, and they are in the running for the top spot in the NFC East.
They have won four consecutive games and have scored 20+ points in each of those four games.
Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky recently revealed what Nick Sirianni’s offense is doing differently since the bye week.
“A little bit is getting back to the ability to have quarterback run and zone read…I think them figuring how they want to operate that, either quarterback run or hand-it-to-the-back run, has really been another change since the bye week,” Orlovsky said Wednesday on NFL Live.

What makes the Philadelphia Eagles so dangerous is that they have a mobile quarterback in Jalen Hurts and an elite running back in Saquon Barkley.
Defenses must account for both on the ground while also worrying about big-play wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
Hurts has had a passer rating of at least 119.0 in the last four games since the bye, along with nearly 160 total rushing yards in that same span.
Barkley has also rushed for 490 yards (551 scrimmage yards) and three scrimmage touchdowns over the last four weeks.
This duo controls the flow of every game because of their pressure on opposing defenses.
Does the defense need to stop Barkley from running, Hurts from throwing, or even Hurts from running?
The answer is all three, which is why the Eagles are in a contending position at this point.
