The Philadelphia Eagles defeated Jacksonville on Sunday afternoon, 29-21, to improve to 4-0 and are the last remaining undefeated team in the league this season.
In the victory, the Birds showed grit while playing without four starters and scored 29 points after falling behind 14-0 to the improved Jaguars.
With the team set for Arizona to face the Cardinals, we’re providing an updated look at this week’s stock report.
Stock up -- Eagles offensive Coordinator Shane Steichen
The Eagles play-caller should have his pick of jobs this offseason if he can keep this sports car of an offense on the road and running efficiently.
In the victory, Philadelphia recorded 401 total yards of offense and became the seventh team since 1970 to begin a season 4-0 and record at least 400 total yards of offense in each game.
The Eagles recorded four rushing touchdowns on Sunday, currently lead the NFL with ten rushing touchdowns in 2022, and became the sixth team since 1970 and the first since 1995 with at least ten rushing touchdowns in its first four games of a season.
Stock up -- Jalen Hurts
He’s playing to be the face of the franchise, and at this rate, he’ll have a statue outside of Lincoln Financial Field soon enough.
According to the Eagles PR guru John Gonoude, Only Patrick Mahomes (.846, 11-2) has a higher quarterback winning percentage than Hurts (.833, 10-2) since Week 8 of 2021 (including playoffs).
Herm Edwards said, “we play to win the game,” and that attitude should take the quarterback and his team towards a No. 1 seed.
Stock up -- T.J. Edwards
The Eagles’ middle linebacker has been so dominant that Nakobe Dean will likely spend his rookie season learning the trade and carving out a role on special teams.
In the win over Jacksonville, Edwards had six tackles, one sack, and one quarterback hit.
Edwards has a sack in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.
Stock up -- DC Jonathan Gannon
After some Week 1 criticism, Gannon’s unit has been sharp, physical, efficient, and a ball-hawking unit.
On Sunday, the Eagles’ defense forced five turnovers and had seven drives that were three and out or shorter on defense. The Eagles’ 5 takeaways are their most in a single game since a 19-10 Christmas Day victory on 12/25/17 vs. Oakland (also 5). Philadelphia’s five takeaways are tied for the most by any NFL team this season (also Tampa Bay in Week 2; Pittsburgh in Week 1).
Stock up -- Haason Reddick
A big-money free agent signing, Reddick is one of the NFL’s highest-paid pass rushers and provided huge dividends after taking a week to figure out his role.
Against the Jaguars, Reddick finished with four tackles, 2.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries (career high).
Reddick, who leads the NFL with 3.0 strip-sacks this season, is the only Eagle since at least 1950 to have 2+ FFs and 2+ FRs in a single game.
