Week 1 is always a time for many fans of teams to begin to panic about the inconsistencies of what their team showed in the first game of work. USA Today The Philadelphia Eagles, despite moving to 1-0 after a 34-29 win over the Green Bay Packers, are no exception. The Birds were able to hold Green Bay to just 1-4 in the red zone while also forcing two sacks and a turnover.

Not everything was perfect, though, when it came to Philadelphia's defense. Despite the positive play, there were other things that stood in the Eagles' way from dominance - the pass rush. While the Eagles did manage to record two sacks, both of them came courtesy of Zack Baun the linebacker, instead of their high-priced pass rush.



Is that something Philadelphia should be concerned about? The reality is that Week 1 is never a key demarcation point of the struggles a team goes with. After all, the Birds only made one sack in their season-opening game during the 2022 season and ended up recorded a franchise record in sacks during the year. Related: 'No Complaints!' A.
