The Philadelphia Eagles demolished the Los Angeles Raiders 31-0, ending the Raiders’ three‑game winning streak and marking the Eagles’ first shutout since 2018.
Offense
The Eagles’ offensive line was a highlight, allowing only one sack in a game where Jalen Hurts was clean on the ball. “This was the sixth straight game the Eagles have allowed one or fewer sack, tying the longest streak in franchise history,” the writer noted.
Hurts completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers, earning a 154.9 passer rating, the second‑highest of his career. He also ran seven times for 39 yards, with five scrambles for first downs, his most since Week 4 in Tampa.
The team used a balanced attack: 47 rushing attempts and 18 passing attempts, producing 12 rushing first downs and 12 passing first downs. The Eagles outgained the Raiders 387-75, and held them to 22 yards in the second half.
Defense
Philadelphia’s defense dominated, holding the Raiders to 75 total yards – the fewest the Eagles have allowed in 70 years. The team recorded 24 sacks in their first 12 games and 7 in the last two, and forced eight quarterback hits on rookie Kenny Pickett.
“The Eagles had 24 sacks their first 12 games and 7 the last two games,” the writer reported. Pickett finished with just 64 yards, a single interception, and an average of 2.6 yards per attempt.
The defense also allowed only 1.79 yards per play, the second‑lowest in franchise history, and 29 net passing yards, the sixth‑fewest since 1960.
Key Players and Records
Jalen Hurts’ performance was a bright spot after a four‑interception game against the Chargers. He was 12‑for‑15, 175 yards, 3 TDs, no turnovers. The Eagles’ offense was efficient, converting third downs and moving the ball in different ways.
B. G. (Brian Gordon) made history by becoming the oldest player in Eagles history to record a sack at 37 years, 255 days, and the 11th‑oldest player in NFL history with two sacks in a game. His two sacks moved him to 78.5 career sacks, just 7.0 shy of Trent Cole.
Dallas Goedert, after dropping an easy touchdown catch early in the second quarter, rebounded with multiple catches, including a 32‑yard reception and a second touchdown. He finished the game 6‑for‑70, his best two‑game total since early last year.
Season Implications
The victory lowered the Eagles’ magic number to two. With two more wins and three Cowboys losses, the team could become the first to win consecutive NFC East titles since 2003 and 2004.
Philadelphia improved to 9‑5, clinching their fifth straight winning season under head coach Nick Sirianni. The win at the Linc – a 31‑0 shutout – was the first at the venue since a 27‑0 victory over the Giants in 2014.
