The Philadelphia Eagles lost 25-14 to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, their fourth consecutive defeat.

The Philadelphia Eagles lost 25-14 to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, their fourth consecutive defeat and longest losing streak since 2020. The Eagles are now 2-4 and face critical back-to-back NFC East matchups against the Cowboys and Giants before the trade deadline and their bye week on 10 November.

The Eagles' defence performed adequately despite the loss, holding Carolina below their 30-point average and despite the Panthers accumulating over 140 yards in penalties. However, the offence struggled significantly. Tanner McKee made his first non-Week 18 start at quarterback with the starting QB unavailable, while DeVonta Smith returned but the team faced intense pressure throughout. Running back Dameon Pierce, forced into a starting role due to injuries to Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsley and Will Shipley, averaged only 2.9 yards per carry.

The Eagles are severely hampered by injuries across multiple positions, including their starting quarterback, top three running backs, and reserves across the interior offensive line. Edge rusher Nolan Smith sustained a concussion in the second quarter and did not return after recording a sack.
