NFC East
Overall Team DVOA
-18.8% 28th

Now under new head coach Nick Sirianni, the Eagles appear to be spending 2021 figuring out if Jalen Hurts is the answer at quarterback to lead the team forward or if newly acquired draft picks will be needed to find the quarterback of the future in 2022. – Dan Pizzuta
