5 dream scenarios for Eagles in 2023 season

No. 3 Eagles dream scenario: Top scoring offense in NFL

The Eagles’ offense was an absolute buzzsaw last season. Jalen Hurts emerged as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and the arrival of A.J. Brown, combined with another year of progress from DeVonta Smith, made the Eagles’ receiving corps remarkably potent.

Philadelphia was eighth in the NFL in total passing yards at 4,364. If Hurts can play all 17 games, there’s no reason that number can’t improve even further. He will have a full season of chemistry with Brown under his belt and Philadelphia’s new top running back, D’Andre Swift, is one heck of a pass catcher.

As for Swift and the running game, that’s where the Eagles will continue to butter their bread. With 2,509 total rushing yards, Philadelphia was the No. 5 running team in football last season. The departure of Miles Sanders stings, but Swift is a comparable talent. The Eagles also have one of the deepest running back depth charts in the NFL, with Rashaad Penny, Boston Scott, and Kenneth Gainwell all showing real ability operating out of the backfield.

Nick Sirianni’s commitment to the run game, combined with Hurts’ ability to break away for long scrambles, should place Philadelphia right back at the top of the rushing charts next season. The offensive line is certainly built for it.

With all this talent in place, it’s not impossible for the Eagles to post the No. 1 scoring offense in the NFL next season. The Eagles managed 49 total touchdowns last season, which placed them second behind Kansas City (51). The Chiefs’ offense won’t slow down any time soon, but Philadelphia has its sights set on toppling Arrowhead. One way to accomplish that is to beat the Chiefs at their own game.
