Lumen Field Showdown: Philadelphia Eagles Narrowly Outscored by Seattle Seahawks
In a closely contested Week 15 match at Lumen Field, the Philadelphia Eagles' record shifted to 10-4 as they were edged out by the Seattle Seahawks with a final score of 17-20. The Seahawks improved their season to 7-7, securing a narrow victory in front of their home crowd.
The Eagles' offense accumulated a total of 321 yards throughout the game. The rushing attack was particularly effective, contributing 178 yards on the ground over 38 attempts, averaging about five yards per carry. This effort was highlighted by two rushing touchdowns and thirteen first downs achieved via the run game. Despite these efforts, passing proved to be less fruitful for the Eagles; they managed only 143 passing yards with an average of nearly five yards per attempt and completed just over half of their passes.
Philadelphia's defense applied pressure throughout the night, recording two sacks and five tackles for loss while limiting Seattle's offensive advances. They also forced four three-and-outs during the contest but were unable to secure any interceptions or fumble recoveries.
Special teams played a solid role for Philadelphia as well. The punting unit averaged close to fifty net yards across five attempts, successfully pinning three inside Seattle's twenty-yard line without conceding any touchbacks. Moreover, all four kickoffs resulted in touchbacks, negating any return opportunities for Seattle.
Penalties were relatively low for both teams; however, each infraction against Philadelphia cost them an average of eight yards across five penalties but did not significantly hinder their progress as they still managed twenty-three first downs during playtime.
