Eagles Starting To Gel, Sixers Struggling, Flyers win 2 Straight
The Eagles are starting to put it together and have won three in a row since their Bye Week. The defense has played much better moving up to the seventh-fewest Total Yards Allowed in the NFL.
The offense has a much better balance of the run/pass ratio. In fact, the Eagles lead the league with the highest run percentage 55% and under head Coach Nick Sirianni, Philadelphia is now 14-1 when they run the ball more than pass on offense.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts in his last three games has completed 71.2% of his passes and more importantly hasn’t turned the ball over. The Eagles Offense is averaging 28 Points Per Game since their Bye Week and are getting better every week!
The Flyers have won their last two games and three of their last four overall. The guys in Orange and Black are showing signs of life and have improved to 4-6-1. The offense hasn’t found its groove yet and have been outscored 31-41 throughout the first 11 games. Next up for the Flyers are the Boston Bruins, who they shoutout last Tuesday 2-0 in their first game of November.
The Sixers are 1-4 to start the season and will not have Joel Embiid or Paul George over the weekend. The Sixers host the Grizzlies on Saturday before heading on a west coast trip next week and we have no time table for the return of the 76ers superstars. The Locker Room with Billy Schweim will cover it all this weekend.
