Daily News | What we learned from Eagles-Cardinals: A.J. Brown absences a case of coaches overthinking
were sidelined in the first half with leg and ankle injuries, respectively. Dickerson was out for the most of the first 30 minutes, and returned briefly in the second half, but handled left guard for the majority of the game. Kelce needed only three plays and the halftime break before returning. Rookie, though, was under fire repeatedly. Joseph sent some pressures the Eagles had trouble handling.
Hurts wasn’t patting himself and the team on their collective backs after the game. “I don’t like to hear 5-0,” he said about the Eagles’ record. He didn’t have a poor game by any stretch. Hurts completed 72% of his throws for 239 yards and rushed 15 times for 61 yards and two scores. He also converted 6 of 7 sneaks from 1 yard out, two for scores. But Hurts is never satisfied.
But a loss there would have been on the coaches. Every good team has weeks when it doesn’t play up to par or when the odds are stacked against it. The Eagles were without a few injured starters and had to rely on a kicker signed just last week to get them over the hump. The Eagles needed a 61-yard, last-second boot by, to win their second game in 2017, otherwise they would have started that Super Bowl-winning season 1-2.
The 2022 Eagles are 5-0 and still the only undefeated team in the NFL, and that alone is an accomplishment no matter how much the fifth win may have damaged the eyes. But they’re only a game up in the NFC East on the 4-1 Giants and Cowboys, whom they host on Sunday night, and the road to the playoffs and more will have plenty more obstacles, self-created or not.
