Eagles Power Rankings Drop After Chargers Loss

After a tough overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Philadelphia Eagles have seen a significant drop in power rankings across the league. According to PhillyVoice, the Eagles are now ranked around 11.8 on average after previously holding a much higher position earlier in the season.

The game against the Chargers, which ended 22-19, highlighted ongoing struggles for the Eagles, particularly on offense, where Jalen Hurts threw four interceptions, significantly contributing to their downfall.

Hurts had a dismal passer rating of 31.2, and despite Saquon Barkley's impressive fourth-quarter touchdown run, the Eagles scored only one touchdown in the game. They struggled with red zone efficiency, going 0-for-2, and their third-down conversion rate has plummeted to 34.46%, down from 40.28% last season.

The Eagles' defense, while solid in holding the Chargers to 3.9 yards per play, was unable to secure a win due to the offensive failures. As they prepare for a critical matchup against the Raiders, the pressure is mounting for the Eagles to turn their season around, especially with three consecutive losses now raising doubts about their playoff aspirations.

Pro Football Talk reported that the team even removed an inflatable 'positivity rabbit' from the locker room after it failed to bring good luck during the Chargers game, indicating a desperate search for solutions amidst the team's struggles.

As they face the Raiders, the Eagles must avoid another loss to reclaim their standing in the playoff race.
