Lane Johnson Calls for Eagles Offense to Be 'Less Predictable' After Loss to Giants

Philadelphia Eagles star offensive tackle Lane Johnson is looking for more variety from the team's offense moving forward.

"It seems a lot harder than it needs to be," Johnson said Thursday, via Dylan Svoboda of the New York Post. "Maybe moving forward, just have a little bit more variety, hitting the perimeter some … [We] need to be able to keep defenses guessing."

The Eagles were held scoreless in the second half of a 34-17 loss to the New York Giants on Thursday night.

Philadelphia secured a Super Bowl title last season due to an imposing rushing attack spearheaded by reigning Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley.

Barkley hasn't looked the same in 2025, as he's averaging a mere 3.4 yards per carry. It's worth noting that he's only recording 2.1 yards before contact per rush attempt this season after averaging 3.8 yards before contact in 2024 (via Pro Football Reference).

Philadelphia's inability to consistently rely on its rushing attack has hurt the rest of its offense.

The Eagles are averaging a mere 274.5 yards per game to open their 2025 campaign, which ranks No. 29 among all NFL teams.

After beginning the year with a 4-0 record, Philadelphia has lost each of its past two contests.
