The Denver Broncos (2-2) face the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles (4-0) this afternoon in a Week 5 matchup at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Denver enters off a dominant Monday night win over Cincinnati and will lean heavily on its ground game to control the clock and limit Philadelphia’s offensive possessions.
The Eagles remain unbeaten but have yet to fully find rhythm under new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. Despite the perfect record, cracks are beginning to show.
Saquon Barkley, prolific last season, has rushed for just 237 yards through four games (3.1 yards per carry) — and his longest has just been 16 yards. Jalen Hurts has topped 200 passing yards in a game just once. And A.J. Brown caught only two passes last week — later posting a not-so-subtle message on social media expressing frustration with the team’s offensive direction.
4 Things to Watch
Broncos’ Two-Headed Rushing Attack
Denver’s offense revolves around its backfield tandem of J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey, allowing the Broncos to control tempo and keep the Eagles’ defense guessing.
Broncos’ Pass Rush
The Broncos bring the NFL’s fiercest pass rush, leading the NFL with 15 sacks through four games.
Injury Outlook and Depth
Denver gets a boost with several injured players returning to action, though tight end Lucas Krull remains out with a foot injury. For Philadelphia, linebacker Nakobe Dean has been ruled out, thinning their interior defense.
Secondary Matchups and Receiver Usage
Denver’s corners will be tested against the Eagles’ talented receiving corps. Expect Philadelphia to shift targets toward Smith if Brown draws top coverage or double teams.
Broncos vs. Eagles Predictions
Expect a close, competitive game. The Eagles have the edge as favorites at home and bring a more balanced offense, but Denver’s surge via the run game and willingness to extend drives gives them a shot. If Philadelphia can pressure the Broncos’ QB and force turnovers, they’ll likely pull away late.
Projected Final Score: Eagles 27, Broncos 23
