Eagles vs. Panthers Postgame Show, Week 14

Week 14 of the Philadelphia Eagles 2024-2025 season is now in the books as they beat the Carolina Panthers at The Linc by a score of 22-16. It was a nail biter or a game for sure as the Eagles allowed the Panthers to stay in this game all the way up to the end of the fourth quarter. Most notably, coming out of this game was Saquon Barkley breaking the all-time single-season franchise rushing record, passing LeSean McCoy’s 1,607 yards. Barkley now has 1,623 yards on the season with four games left in the regular season. He had 124 yards on the ground in this game.

Jalen Hurts had one of the worst games he has had in quite some time. Missing wide open receivers has been an ongoing theme, but in this game those misses were rather egregious. When A.J. Brown is only targeted four times, there’s an issue.

Vic Fangio’s defense played the ol’ bend but don’t break defense today as they let the Panthers offense convert a number of third downs, and allowed Bryce Young to successfully escape the pocket a number times. However, the pass rush was disruptive, as were the linebackers. The secondary an up and down game, but the game ball has to go to C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Darius Slay for their defensive prowess throughout much of the game.

As always, we gave our top themes, thoughts and opinions from the game on offense, defense, and special teams, and then graded each unit on both sides of the ball, as well as the coaching staff.
