The Story in 60 Seconds

Dave Spadaro analyzes how the Philadelphia Eagles can build upon positive flashes from their offense despite falling 38-21 to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Led by quarterback Tanner McKee in place of the injured Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia produced three touchdown drives, showing glimpses of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's designed system. Rookie receiver Makai Lemon caught his first NFL touchdown, while Saquon Barkley scored early before being limited by a hamstring strain.

Spadaro notes that Philadelphia has struggled for consistency throughout a 2-5 start due to extensive offensive line changes and widespread injuries. With Barkley and Dameon Pierce banged up, Elijah Mitchell finished the game at running back. The writer argues that building on Monday's offensive execution will be crucial as the Eagles prepare for a Week 8 divisional matchup against Washington.
