Eagles struggle with offense despite strong red-zone touchdown percentage
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles enter Week 9 ranked last in total offense but fourth in red-zone touchdown efficiency as they prepare to face the New York Giants. Averaging only 265.3 yards and 17.1 points per game, the Eagles have converted 71.4% of their red-zone opportunities with 15 touchdowns on 21 trips. However, they average just 2.6 red-zone attempts per game, limiting scoring chances. Issues in rushing and passing, along with low third and fourth down conversion rates, hinder their offensive performance. With Jalen Hurts sidelined, Tanner McKee leads the offense into a challenging matchup against a Giants defense ranked ninth in total yards allowed.
