Hurt’s Eagles Hope to Remain Undefeated
A few weeks ago, it would have sounded unreasonable to think that the Eagles would be undefeated in Week 7. Philadelphia is now pursuing their eighth straight win tonight.
The preseason numbers did not support Philadelphia. With a 1-2 record, the Eagles took on the Commanders, Vikings, Cardinals, and Cowboys, and in every instance, they have come out on top.
Jalen Hurts remains the offensive leader with 1,799 passing yards and ten touchdowns, and Miles Sanders has added 563 rushing yards and five scores.
Mills’ Texans After an Urgent Season Turnaround
The Texans have not performed close to what they intended when the season started. The Texans are still looking to nail a second win that might put them a step away from last place in the AFC South.
However, the team has remained unresponsive. Davis Mills has 1,502 passing yards and eight touchdowns on the season, while Dameon Pierce has added 539 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
To many experts, there is a responsibility on both ends. Not only has the offense fallen short of producing consistent drives, but the defense also has been unsuccessful in remaining effective for the entire game. If they come with the same defense tonight, the Texans will be in trouble.
