A gritty yet lackluster Philadelphia Eagles victory leaves fans questioning whether the team is slipping back into old habits from the 2025 season.

A gritty yet lackluster Philadelphia Eagles victory leaves fans questioning whether the team is slipping back into old habits from the 2025 season. Despite being heavy road favorites, the Eagles barely edged out the struggling Tennessee Titans, needing a game-winning drive from Jalen Hurts to secure a 24-20 win. Can this type of "nasty win" carry Philadelphia through a competitive NFC, or is it a red flag for what’s ahead?
Jalen Hurts’ performance comes under the microscope—posting 264 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions, he showed moments of poise but struggled with consistency and ball security. The last-minute heroics included a crucial touchdown to undrafted wide receiver Darius Cooper, but missed opportunities and questionable throws kept fans on edge. With the run game and defense showing worrying signs, will Philadelphia play up to its championship standard, or continue battling to survive against lesser opponents?
