Eagles Postgame, Week 8, 2021 vs. Lions

Week 8 of the Philadelphia Eagles 2021 season is now in the books as the Eagles beat the Detroit Lions on the road by a score of 44-6. The Eagles are now 3-5 on the season after beating a really bad Lions team.

Apparently, Nick Sirianni figured that week 8 was a good time to truly start running the ball and taking the RPO option out of Jalen Hurts' hands. With Boston Scott and Jordan Howard scoring rushing touchdowns, it was interesting to see the new offensive strategy this week.

The Eagles defense and coordinator Jonathan Gannon decided that utilizing the blitz was a good strategy after 8 weeks. The defense was consistently putting pressure on Jared Goff and ended up with 6 sacks and 12 quarterback hits.

As always, we gave our takeaways, dove into the stats, and graded the units and coaches.
