Dallas Goedert Struggles to Shine Amidst Eagles’ Offense in Week 12

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Tight end Dallas Goedert has been a crucial part of the Philadelphia Eagles‘ offense this season, heading into Week 12 with 356 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. However, in the early moments of the Eagles’ game against the Detroit Lions, Goedert struggled to make an impact.

Despite being active in this matchup, Goedert had yet to receive any targets as quarterback Jalen Hurts heavily relied on wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, as well as running back Saquon Barkley. This pattern has left Goedert off the stat sheet in a game where the Eagles desperately need every player’s contribution.

As the first quarter progressed with the Eagles failing to secure a strong offensive position, Goedert found himself sidelined, longing for a chance to contribute. The Eagles’ offense was slow to find its rhythm, with Hurts focusing on the skills of Smith and Brown, both of whom were effectively gaining yardage and setting up scoring opportunities.

The Eagles entered the game looking to maintain their strong record, but now they need to evaluate how to better utilize Goedert to complement the thrilling plays being executed by the other skill players. It’s unclear how long this projected dynamic will play out, but fans are hopeful that Goedert will soon find his stride and add to his season totals.

The Eagles still have time to adjust, and fans will be keeping a close watch on how the offensive strategy unfolds in the upcoming drives against the Lions.
