Both of these teams enter this game looking for their offenses to get a much-needed jump at the expense of their opponent. The Eagles turn back to Nick Foles under center as he tries to stop the Raiders from winning their third-straight home game.
Thus far this season, Foles is 52-for-90 (57.8%) for 622 yards with six touchdowns and no picks, as he fills in once again for Michael Vick, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Oakland held on for a 21-18 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, but once again their offense was halted in the second half. The Raiders were outscored 15-0 in the fourth quarter after rushing out to a 21-3 halftime lead on a Terrelle Pryor 93-yard score and two rushing touchdowns for Darren McFadden.
Thus far on the season, Pryor is 99-for-157 (63.1%) for 1,149 yards with five touchdowns and seven interceptions while he's rushed for 391 yards on 53 carries with one score. McFadden has reached the end zone four times while rushing for 340 yards on 93 attempts.
"We got to find a way to keep on punching, keeping drives alive in the second half," Pryor, who leads the team in rushing and passing yards, told ESPN.
Oakland knows it has to get better at building on leads going forward.
"We've got to execute better," said coach Dennis Allen via ESPN. "We've got some opportunities to make some plays and we don't make the plays that are available to us."
The Eagles are coming off of a 15-7 defeat at the hands of the division rival New York Giants and their advertised high-powered offense under Chip Kelly hasn't lived up to the hype. Foles is ready to go in his third start and fifth appearance this season with the team after suffering a concussion two weeks ago against the Dallas Cowboys.
One of the Eagles' best weapons this season has been running back LeSean McCoy, who has a league-leading 733 rushing yards on a league-high 156 carries and has reached the end zone three times.
"I have confidence in the group," Kelly told ESPN. "It's the same group for six games we were on track to set records. We're not going to do something new. We have to settle down and our playmakers have to make plays."
Philadelphia will look to try and get its offense jump started while Oakland looks to play a complete game and win their third game in four tries when these two teams hit the field at the O.co Coliseum today.
