Made enough plays to win the Eagles' Week 1 game against Washington, with second-half heroics allowing new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion to solve second-half stalls in the safety of the win column. However, the Eagles generated only 10 first downs in Week 1, the second-fewest in the NFL behind only the Broncos, despite playing against one of the worst defenses in the NFL. The Eagles' second-half scoring margin was minus-3 after Week 1, continuing a year-old problem from 2025 when they finished with a negative second-half scoring margin of minus-7.
