- The Philadelphia Eagles have called the 8th-most plays in football this year, totaling a monstrous 65.5 plays per game.

- THE BLITZ projects Dallas Goedert to accumulate 5.4 targets this week, on average, placing him in the 88th percentile among TEs.
- The Philadelphia Eagles O-line profiles as the best in football this year in pass protection, which has a positive effect on all passing attack stats across the board.
Cons

- THE BLITZ projects the Philadelphia Eagles as the least pass-oriented team on the slate this week with a 51.8% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- Opposing teams have averaged 33.5 pass attempts per game against the Arizona Cardinals defense this year: 8th-least in football.
- Dallas Goedert has totaled quite a few less air yards this year (15.0 per game) than he did last year (44.0 per game).
- Dallas Goedert’s 30.1 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—a volume stat that measures high-value offensive involvement) has been notably worse this season than it was last season at 43.8.
