Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 18 Oct, 13:31 · Archive
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday after three straight losses, with backup quarterback Tanner McKee starting in place of the injured Jalen Hurts.
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in Week 6, hoping to end a three-game losing streak. Backup quarterback Tanner McKee will start after Jalen Hurts was ruled out with superficial blood clots in his calf.
The Eagles' offence has struggled significantly this season, ranking fourth-lowest in the NFL with 92 total points through five weeks. Philadelphia's defence has kept them competitive, however, suffering close losses to the Los Angeles Rams 24–20 and the Jacksonville Jaguars 19–17. Against Jacksonville in Week 5, the Eagles held late leads but lost when Ameer Abdullah returned a kickoff 53 yards to set up the Jaguars' game-winning field goal with time expiring.
The Panthers, led by Bryce Young, return from a bye week leading the NFC South at 2–2. They rank among the league's best offensive units, placing second in passing yards (301.3 per game), third in total offence (405.8 per game) and fourth in scoring (30.3 points per game). PhillyVoice notes that six of the Eagles' projected starting offensive linemen were not starters at the season's start.
