Their success rate in this formation is low, sitting below 30%, while they perform better with shotgun and pistol plays at around 40%. Despite a strong start in their recent game against the Los Angeles Rams with a 20-10 halftime lead, the Eagles failed to convert on 12 third-down attempts and 4 fourth-down attempts, including a crucial fourth-and-goal play that resulted in an incompletion. With injuries mounting, the Eagles are preparing to head to London, aiming to address their offensive struggles and halt a two-game losing streak.
