Eagles Studs And Duds: Week 11

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Eagles offense is struggling.

They have failed to score 24 points in a game since Week 3, falling 26-15 to the Seahawks on Sunday. Their receivers continue to struggling, Carson Wentz looks like a rookie quarterback, and their top two running backs -- Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles -- are now hurt.

Yikes.

Duds

 

3. Rodney McLeod

 

The Eagles allowed plays of 72, 44, 35, 34, and 30 yards. McLeod, who is usually all over the field, had just three combined tackles and took a bad route on a Jimmy Graham touchdown.

2. Jalen Mills

I mentioned the five big plays above. Mills allowed four catches on six targets for 103 yards, including three 20-plus yard catches according to Pro Football Focus

1. Nelson Agholor

Agholor was brutal. He dropped his only target -- actually an awesome route vs. Richard Sherman over the middle of the field that should have gone for 30-plus yards -- and then he negated a 57-yard touchdown with an illegal formation penalty.

3. Zach Ertz

Ertz caught six of his 11 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown and also caught a slip screen that he took 57-yards to the house, but it was called back due to the Nelson Agholor illegal formation penalty.

2. Jordan Hicks

Hicks had another solid game, tying for the team lead with four solo tackles and earning a PFF grade of 85.7, second best on the team.

1. Jason Kelce

The Eagles offensive line played well again on Sunday, allowing just two sacks and rushing for 113 yards on 26 total carries without their top-two backs for the majority of the game. They allowed just 10 pressures on 47 dropbacks and Kelce was the anchor of the unit on Sunday, earning a PFF high grade of 83.6.
