Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson said the offense needs to work hard to « keep defenses guessing » after Thursday night’s 34-17 loss to the Giants.
— Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson said that one of the keys to improving the offense following a 34-17 loss to the New York Giants was to be « less predictable. »
Johnson was focused primarily on the ground attack. Philadelphia entered the game ranked 26th in rushing with 95.3 yards per game after finishing second in that category in 2024 with 179.3. Reigning Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley had 58 yards on 12 carries against his former team. It was the fifth time in six games that he has been held to 60 yards or less on the ground.
« It seems a lot harder than it needs to be », Johnson said. « Maybe moving forward, just have a little bit more variety, hitting the perimeter some.
