I think the first week was a cleaner game for the defense and not as clean for the offense and vice versa with tonight. You are right, we are 2-0. A lot of teams would like to be sitting 2-0. Like I said, when you are in this position, and guys don&#8217;t know that we aren&#8217;t playing to the best of our abilities, that&#8217;s when you can make a lot of growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Homecoming king: Philadelphia native D&#x27;Andre Swift runs for career-high 175 yards in Eagles&#x27; win over Vikings            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 2: What We Learned from Eagles&#x27; win over Vikings on Thursday night            <\/li>\n<li>              OC Brian Johnson: Eagles need to be &#x27;mindful&#x27; of getting Dallas Goedert, D&#x27;Andre Swift more touches            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Eagles&#8217; defense has struggled with secondary injuries that have left the crew woefully thin. In Week 1, Philly gave up 316 passing yards and three touchdowns to Mac Jones. With a trove of replacement players on the back end Thursday, \ufeffKirk Cousins\ufeff went off for 364 passing yards on 31-of-44 with four TD passes.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, \ufeffJalen Hurts\ufeff and the Eagles&#8217; passing offense has been mostly MIA. On Thursday, the QB threw for 193 yards on 18-of-23 passing with a TD and an INT &#8212; 117 yards coming on two connections with \ufeffDeVonta Smith\ufeff. When Hurts is in rhythm and he sees the field, the QB rips it. However, too often, the passing game has been an amalgam of blas\u00e9 plays, WRs not getting open versus dropped coverages, and Hurts taking sacks trying to make something happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we are a work in progress,&#8221; Hurts said Thursday when asked about the team&#8217;s identity. &#8220;What better way to be a work in progress than sitting on two wins out of the gate in 10 days, or however many days it was. We strive for progress, not perfection. Obviously, we all have a standard for ourselves. Obviously, we demand the most of ourselves because of everything that we go through together, all the work that we put in together, and all of those things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hurts&#8217; play through two weeks has been the opposite of what we saw in Super Bowl LVII when he was the best player on the field. Unlike that game, however, the Eagles won both contests despite the rollercoaster play from the QB.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are going to continue to keep chipping away,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We understand as we continue to climb this mountain and we go on, there will be different challenges that come along, but the only thing that matters is winning. Truly, the only thing that matters is winning. I think if we can continue to develop, grow, and learn from our mistakes and learn from our successes, and learn from all of these different things. In fact, the same things that I&#8217;m saying now I&#8217;d be saying if we lost. But the reality is, winning is the only thing that matters, and everything is done with winning in mind. For us, we just want to continue to grow as a team, continue to develop, and find that identity for us and continue to grow together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are 15 more games for the Eagles to develop their 2023 identity. Unlike Minnesota (0-2), Philly can continue to grow with a couple of wins in its pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/nick-sirianni-easier-to-correct-eagles-issues-with-2-0-start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reigning NFC champions haven&#8217;t looked impressive through two weeks, holding on to one-score victories against the New England Patriots in Week 1 and the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.
