Eagles-Seahawks scouting report

The Eagles benefited from a balanced offense last week against the Atlanta Falcons, but it will be more difficult to gain 429 total yards against the Seattle Seahawks. Even though their scheme is similar to Atlanta's, the Seahawks have one of the NFL's best defenses. The Seahawks are No. 9 in net yards allowed with 338.4 and No. 2 in net points allowed with 17.8. The key for the Eagles offense has been to get a consistent running game, but that will be a challenge against a team that holds rushers to 3.5 yards per carry.

Ryan Mathews rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns last week and needs to remain a big part of the game plan.
