The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 5-0 in Week 5 of 2023 NFL season against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. They are one of only two NFL teams with a 5-0 record, and their Week 6 starters look likely to remain the same.

The defending NFC champs will face the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday at 4:25 pm.

Philadelphia Eagles Defeat Los Angeles Rams

The Eagles didn’t put together flawless performances in the first four weeks of the season. However, the win on Sunday was much more impressive.

Jalen Hurts led a confident and effective passing attack. He threw for over 300 yards for the second consecutive game. The victory on Sunday was also his most impressive rushing performance. He had a season-high 72 yards on the ground, including a touchdown on the notorious Tush Push play.

While the Philadelphia defense didn’t get off to a good start, Sean Desai made the necessary adjustments. They limited Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, and the potent Rams offense to 14 points.

After a 2-5 start to his career as a head coach, Nick Sirianni has won 28 of 36 games. The Eagles will enter as 6.5 point favorites against the Jets.

Projected Philadelphia Eagles Week 6 Starters

The Eagles still face some injury concerns. The addition of Bradley Roby could help replace Avonte Maddox in the slot. The cornerback rotation changed significantly in Week 6, and the coming weeks will determine the plan for the rest of the 2023 season.

Fletcher Cox sat out the matchup against the Rams, which was the first game he missed with an injury since 2017. He hopes to return against the Jets.

Sua Opeta effectively filled in at right guard on Sunday. He stepped in for the injured Cam Jurgens and controlled Aaron Donald with the help of a game plan that included consistent double teams. He has earned himself a starting job while Jurgens recovers.

Injury news will also affect the Eagles Week 6 starters, as Nakobe Dean is now eligible to return from injured reserve. Reports should trickle out as the week progresses.
