With a rookie quarterback, inexperienced wide receivers, and no elite running back, the Eagles offense is not to be confused with any of the NFL's best. But what has happened in recent weeks defies even modest expectations. The Eagles have not scored more than 24 points since Week 3. They had 28 combined points during the last two games.
Offensive coordinator Frank Reich said the objective is four touchdowns each week. The Eagles have reached that benchmark only once.
"We have to score more points," Reich said. "There's no question."
The offense's problems have never appeared more dire than they are entering Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
