Nick Sirianni faced scrutiny for several fourth-down decisions during the game, which ultimately hurt the Eagles' scoring despite moving the ball effectively, as reflected in their 460 total yards. His choice to call a fake quarterback sneak at the end of the first half, leaving the team short of the sticks with little time remaining, raised questions about his decision-making. This marked consecutive weeks where his gut-based calls led to costly outcomes, highlighting the need for him to balance intuition with analytics as the season progresses.

Eagles-Saints takeaways: Bring on the Saquon Barkley-centric offense

The Philadelphia Eagles claimed a narrow 15-12 victory over the New Orleans Saints, showcasing resilience in the face of injuries and turnovers.

Saquon Barkley emerged as the pivotal player, rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns, including a critical 65-yard run. His performance underscored the value of his $12 million contract amid a struggling passing game led by Jalen Hurts, who continued to face challenges this season.

Defensively, the Eagles made significant adjustments under Vic Fangio, limiting Saints' star Alvin Kamara to just 87 yards. Jalen Carter shone with disruptive plays, helping solidify the team’s identity after a shaky previous week.

Despite some questionable fourth-down decisions by coach Nick Sirianni, the Eagles’ ability to bounce back after earlier setbacks indicates a determined start to the season as they prepare for their upcoming bye week.
