In the past three weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense has shown a marked improvement, displaying more consistent and aggressive running, deep downfield shots, and a purposeful approach that contrasts sharply with their early-season struggles.
What sparked this transformation? Some speculate Nick Sirianni has empowered Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore—known for creatively utilizing players like Ben VanSumeren as a fullback. Others wonder if the team’s offensive players advocated for changes, unwilling to relive last year’s lackluster results.
Sirianni explained to reporters on Friday that the shift didn’t stem from a single factor; rather, it was a result of continuous internal evaluations. “We discuss everything as a group,” Sirianni said. “I won’t assign percentages, but as coaches, we evaluate what our players excel at based on practice and game performance. We also talk with the players to get their input. This sport is the ultimate team effort. Wins and losses, we’re in it together.”
He also praised Moore’s influence, noting how the offensive coordinator’s sharp football mind and consistent dedication have boosted the offense. “Kellen has been great,” Sirianni said. “He’s constantly looking for ways to improve. I admire his daily grind and growth mindset, even beyond game tape.”
With contributions from Moore and Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio, both of whom have found their rhythm in recent weeks, the Eagles have made significant strides on both sides of the ball. While it remains to be seen if they can sustain this momentum, Philadelphia’s recent performances offer promising signs for the rest of the season.
