UPDATE: The Philadelphia Eagles have decisively ended their three-game losing streak with a commanding 24-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, marking their first shutout since 2018. This dominant performance significantly strengthens their position in the race for the NFC East title.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts rebounded spectacularly, completing 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns, achieving a near-perfect passer rating of 154.9. The Eagles’ defense was relentless, with standout performances from linebacker Nolan Smith Jr. and defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, who helped keep the Raiders scoreless throughout the game.
The Eagles dominated all phases of the game, executing under-center runs and run-pass options that allowed their offense to sustain drives effectively. Hurts’s agility was on display, as he added 39 yards on seven carries, showcasing his dual-threat capability. He was briefly shaken up during a zone-read play but quickly returned to lead his team.

On the defensive side, the Eagles were formidable, registering four sacks against Raiders quarterback Kenny Pickett. Two of those sacks came from veteran linebacker Brandon Graham, who made a significant impact in his return from retirement. The Eagles’ defense forced the Raiders to go three-and-out on multiple occasions, effectively neutralizing their offensive threats.
