Eagles focus on fourth quarter improvement ahead of 2026 season opener

The Philadelphia Eagles are aiming to finish stronger in the fourth quarter this season. Head coach Nick Sirianni highlighted the need for improvement after the team averaged only 5.1 points in the fourth quarter last year, ranking 30th in the NFL. Defensively, the Eagles allowed an average of 7.6 points, placing them 24th overall. The upcoming preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens will serve as a critical evaluation point before the Eagles' opener against the Washington Commanders on September 13. Success in the fourth quarter will be essential for the Eagles to contend for the NFC East title once again.
