What happened: Philadelphia is averaging 82 rushing yards per game in the 2026 regular season through Oct. 20. The figure marks the franchise's lowest ground pace since 1941.

Why it matters: The ground shortfall has coincided with Philadelphia's three-game losing streak. Without a functional run game, the offense faces longer third downs and increased pressure on the passing game.

By the numbers: 82 rushing yards per game; lowest team average since the 1941 season.

What to watch: Philadelphia's next game will show whether scheme or personnel changes can stabilize the run game. The deadline period will clarify if help arrives.
