The Panthers are blitzing at the second-highest rate (40.9%) this season, which should work in favor of Jalen Hurts, who is averaging 8.8 yards per attempt with eight TDs and one interception on 98 career pass attempts when blitzed.
The Eagles played the 49ers, Cowboys and Chiefs while the Panthers played the Jets, the Saints dealing with COVID issues and Texans in their first three games, so perceptions of the two teams are somewhat warped.
It’s also worth noting that this has historically been a great bounce-back spot for a team like the Eagles, as road dogs on three-game losing streaks that open +3 to +6 have covered at a 62% rate since 2003.
