Eagles prove they are NFC heavyweights with 24-19 win over the Ravens

The Eagles are 10-2, and any talk of Nick Sirianni needing to be fired has been dismissed after Philadelphia won its eighth straight game with a dominant 24-19 win over the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

The Ravens scored a late touchdown to pull within five, but the game was never really close once the Eagles took a 14-12 lead and suffocated the NFL’s top offense with 372 total yards on 72 offensive plays.

Baltimore was 6-15 on third downs and couldn’t convert in the red zone (2-5) despite holding the football for 33:51 of game time.   Legendary kicker Justin Tucker was 2-4 in the afternoon, missing two field goals from 50+ yards.

The Ravens had one of the NFL’s latest bye weeks and looked like a team needing a recharge and an identity on both sides of the football.   For the Eagles, Nick Sirianni’s team has won eight straight games, and they enter a Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers playing like one of the best teams in the NFL.
