Raiders and Eagles Look to End Losing Streaks

The Las Vegas Raiders head to Philadelphia this weekend, seeking to break a seven-game losing streak against the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles, who are struggling with three consecutive losses. Both teams are in dire need of a victory, with the Raiders holding a 2-11 record and the Eagles at 8-5, still leading the NFC East.

Raiders quarterback Kenny Pickett, starting in place of the injured Geno Smith, aims to add mobility to the Raiders' offense, which has been stagnant. The Eagles' quarterback Jalen Hurts, coming off a Super Bowl MVP season, has faced challenges this year, including a recent five-turnover game against the Chargers.

Hurts' performance has dipped, with a completion percentage down four points and six interceptions so far this season. The Eagles’ defense, however, remains strong under coordinator Vic Fangio, ranking ninth overall and allowing just 20.8 points per game.

As the Eagles look to regain their form, they face a Raiders team that could potentially hurt their draft position with an upset. The game is set for Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, with kickoff at 10 a.m. on Fox.

Both teams' injuries could play a significant role, with the Raiders missing key players like wide receiver Alex Bachman and tackle Kolton Miller, while the Eagles will be without defensive tackle Jalen Carter and tackle Lane Johnson.
