The perception is reality: The Philadelphia Eagles' offense isn't performing or producing on the same level as their Super Bowl 59-winning season of 2025. Although the Eagles (7-2) hold the NFC playoff's top seed going into Week 11's huge Sunday night home game vs. Current No. 3 Detroit (6-3), they need to move the ball better and score more, stat, to have any real chance of repeating.
A big reason for Philadelphia winning it all last season was offense, with former coordinator Kellen Moore — now the Saints' young head coach — calling the plays. Elevated replacement Kevin Patullo so far hasn't hit the necessary notes.
Here's looking at the key offensive stats that have dropped off and explaining those struggles:

Eagles team offensive stats: 2025 vs. 2024
| Stat | Eagles in 2025 (NFL rank) | Eagles in 2024 (NFL rank) |
| Total offense | 303.2 yards per game (23rd) | 367.2 yards per game (8th) |
| Scoring offense | 24.2 points per game (12th) | 27.2 points per game (12th) |
| Passing offense | 191.7 yards per game (25th) | 187.9 yards per game (29th) |
| Rushing offense | 111.6 yards per game (21st) | 179.3 yards per game (2nd) |
The Eagles' scoring is still pretty good as they are averaging only a field goal fewer per game, thanks to a league-leading 80.1 percent red zone TD scoring rate. That's been a saving grace, jumping from 58.3 percent last season.
Third down is a different story. The Eagles were No. 11 in the NFL, converting at 40.3 percent last season. This season, they have plummeted to No. 27, near the league's worst overall offenses, at 34.9 percent.
The clear disparity lies in the rushing offense. Without running at the same clip on early downs, third downs have become more difficult to convert, with longer distances. Quarterback Jalen Hurts isn't running as much for chunk yards while passing at a higher efficiency than last season. But the stark contrast is in what running back Saquon Barkley is contributing to the offense after his historic 2,005-yard rushing season.
With Patullo not coming through on the plays as well as Moore, offensive-minded coach Nick Sirianni has been called out for not asserting more of his system influence, even it might require him taking play-calling duties from Patullo.

Saquon Barkley rushing stats: 2025 vs. 2024
| Stat | 2025 | 2024 |
| Rushing attempts per game | 16.6 | 21.6 |
| Rushing yards per game | 64.3 | 125.3 |
| Rushing yards per attempt | 3.9 | 5.8 |
It's true that Barkley isn't getting the same exceptional blocking this season. Left guard Landon Dickerson and right tackle Lane Johnson haven't been the same dominant rocks in the running game. Right guard Tyler Steen has been the weakest overall link.
But it's also true that Barkley has seen a steep drop-off in production and explosiveness based on natural causes. He had 378 touches in 16 regular-season games last and added 104 more touches in four playoff games. He also turned 27 while helping the Eagles win Super Bowl 59. The mileage from last season and previous wear have added up to slow him down.
The Eagles have been aware of the attrition in easing his workload. Now Barkley is trying to play his best through a midseason groin injury. The problem is that Barkley has become big-run dependent (either off a carry or catch) and those open-field flashes have not come as often this season. The inconsistency and inefficiency have hurt the passing game, too.

Eagles fans have been hard on Brown and have been questioning his often disappearing act from the offense. Brown has become harder on himself, frustrated about the lacking numbers that make him look more like an average NFL starter than an elite field-stretcher and scoring threat.
Brown does see the heavier, tighter coverage than DeVonta Smith, who is right on his 2024 production as the frequent downfield threat of choice. Hurts has been more careful with the ball when throwing it, with only one interception. Hurts needs to be a little more aggressive throwing to Brown and giving him a chance to use his speed, quickness and frame to win even the toughest of matchups.

With that development, Smith finds himself open more often with his quickness and route-running and tight end Dallas Goedert has become a busier short-to-intermediate target all the way through the red zone, with his career-high 7 TD catches.
The Eagles' strength has been their ability to pivot their offense based on their opponent's defense. Hurts makes that possible with his running to boost Barkley and his strong downfield arm. Given Hurts' passing is the one thing that's hit a higher level in the Eagles' offense, the Eagles need to pass more to set up the run, vs. The other way around.
Philadelphia ran the ball 56.3 percent of the time to lead the league last season, which made sense when Barkley was dominant running from play to play, game to game. That number is at 48.7 percent this season, but it's still the third-highest in the NFL.
The Eagles need to accept their running game won't give the same effectiveness with Barkley that they enjoyed last season. They should stay assured, however, that Hurts can get hot with his top three receivers at the ideal time.
