We’re looking at the top photos from the Philadelphia Eagles 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 at Lincoln Financial Field

Nick Sirianni left 8+ points on the board with questionable calls, but Philadelphia got stops on defense when needed.  The Eagles moved to 6-2 on Sunday afternoon with a 28-23 win over Jacksonville. A.J. Brown was forced to exit with a knee injury. Still, Saquon Barkley made highlight-reel plays, and DeVonta Smith was a rock as the Eagles’ offense struggled to put the Jaguars away. However, it was functional enough to stay within a game of Washington in the division. With preparation for Dallas set to begin, we’re looking at the top photos from Sunday’s big win. ***

Lane Johnson discusses role the offensive line played in Eagles’ shift to a run-first approach

Philadelphia offensive tackle Lane Johnson discusses the role the offensive line played in Eagles shift to a run first approach

The Philadelphia Eagles have been 3-0 since the bye week ended, and while the defense is starting to find their groove, Kellen Moore’s versatile offense has found its identity.

While meeting with the media on Friday, Johnson said there were discussions during the bye week about the offense embodying the “same formula” of 2021: using the run game and play-action.

Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore attributed the gains to “just finding our rhythm,” while Lane Johnson and the Eagles offensive line played a significant role in the identity shift.

“It was an offensive-led movement. We knew we had to make some adjustments,” Johnson said. “Some of the leaders on the O-line had our fair share of talk in helping it. We want our offense to be the best version of itself, win some games, and score points in the fucking first quarter. That would be nice.”

Since the bye week, the Eagles are First in the NFL in fewest giveaways (0), tied for first in the NFL in rushing touchdowns (6), first in the NFL in rushing first downs (34), second in the NFL in rushing offense (182 yards per game), second in the NFL in average yards per pass attempt (9.4 yards)second in yards per reception (14.6 yards), third in passer rating (125.3), and fifth in completion percentage (70 percent).

Eagles at full strength ahead of crucial matchup vs. Browns in Week 6

Two weeks ago, the Eagles were battered and down multiple starters in a Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers.   Almost 14 days and a bye week later, Philadelphia is among the healthiest teams in the NFL.

Sydney Brown and Ainias Smith are back at practice, and the entire 53-man roster has a healthy injury designation heading into Sunday afternoon.

There are no players ruled out or listed as questionable or doubtful.

Nakobe Dean landed on the injury report on Wednesday with an ankle injury. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but was a full participant on Friday.

Brown has been out since Week 1 with a hamstring injury, while DeVonta Smith and Lane Johnson missed Week 4 with a concussion.

WATCH: Jalen Hurts takes responsibility for Eagles struggles in 33-16 loss to Buccaneers

Jalen Hurts was sacked six times on the afternoon, and the star quarterback committed another turnover (fumble), as Philadelphia could not sustain any offensive consistency without the big three in the lineup.

Philadelphia will head into the Week 5 bye with a 2-2 record after a disastrous 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers. The Eagles exited the first quarter with zero yards of total offense. Following the second loss to Tampa in a year, Hurts took responsibility for the lackluster performance.

Overall, Hurts threw for just 158 yards, was sacked six times on the afternoon, and turned the ball over again, his 8th straight game.

Philadelphia’s offense only had 16 points and 227 yards without three top players out.
