- The Philadelphia Eagles O-line profiles as the 3rd-best in the NFL since the start of last season in protecting the passer, which has a strong impact on all air attack statistics across the board.
- Jalen Hurts’s passing accuracy has gotten a boost this season, with his Completion% increasing from 60.3% to 66.4%.
- Jalen Hurts’s passing efficiency has improved this year, totaling 8.22 yards-per-target compared to just 7.19 mark last year.
- Opposing QBs have completed passes at the 6th-highest rate in the NFL against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense since the start of last season (72.4%).
Cons
- The Eagles are a 6.5-point favorite in this game, which points towards a rushing game script.
- THE BLITZ projects the Philadelphia Eagles as the least pass-centric offense among all teams this week with a 44.7% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- The weatherman calls for 17-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means reduced pass volume (and increased run volume) and worse passing effectiveness.

- Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 32.3 pass attempts per game against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense since the start of last season: 8th-least in the NFL.
