Philadelphia Eagles at Los Angeles Chargers

The Eagles are tied for the league lead in plays per game (69) after a 73-snap outing in Week 3. They also allowed a season-high 64 snaps to the previously anemic Giants offense, including a 24-point fourth-quarter outburst. Philadelphia scores the 13th-most points per play and they allow the eighth-most. In neutral game situations (one-score game in either direction), the Eagles pass at the ninth-highest rate, and their opponents deploy the league’s highest pass rate against them (70.3 percent).
