Undefeated Eagles haven't even played their best football yet

Inconsistency of Eagles' passing game is still big concern

Quarterback Jalen Hurts and the passing game have shown flashes of big-play ability over the first four weeks, but there is still something not quite there yet for the unit as a whole. Hurts entered Sunday's game against Tampa Bay having thrown for just 479 yards, or about 159.6 yards per game. He topped the 200-yard mark in just one of the first three games.

He did not top it again on Sunday, completing only 15-of-24 passes for 130 yards.

There are, however, two important developments to go along with that: Despite the lack of big plays and any threat of a downfield passing attack, Hurts has yet to throw an interception in four games and has not fumbled.

He has also thrown five touchdowns and rushed for four more. He is making the plays that matter, not making the crushing plays and at least being efficient. 

It's not where the Eagles want or need to be, and it's not even where they were a year ago when they won the Super Bowl, but there is still room to improve. 

The Eagles might not be overly happy about it, but having things to work on and still winning is better than having things to work on and not winning. 

Special teams has been the biggest game-changer

Despite the 4-0 record, the Eagles' point differential sits at just plus-20 for the season, which is a direct result of them winning so many close, one-score games.

In each of the past two weeks, blocked kicks on special teams have been some of the biggest game-changers.

A week ago, it was Jordan Davis blocking what could have been a game-winning field goal for the Los Angeles Rams and returning it for a touchdown. It was their second blocked field goal of the game,

On Sunday in Tampa Bay, the scoring started when Sydney Brown returned a blocked punt 35 yards for a touchdown. 

Special teams is a huge — and often-overlooked — part of the game, and sometimes it needs to step up and make a difference when another phase is not yet clicking. It's happened for the Eagles. It is a big reason why they are 4-0 despite not playing their best football just yet, or the way they want to play.
