Eagles' wild Lane Johnson stat is equal parts promising and worrisome

The Philadelphia Eagles win games by dominating the line of scrimmage. That may be hard to believe for some fans with flashy pieces like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Cooper DeJean, and A.J. Brown getting most of the love. But Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman built this team to control the trenches.

Yes, Hurts can't stop turning the ball over. Yes, A.J. Brown had several game-altering drops in Week 14, and yes, Barkley and the run game have been maddeningly inconsistent. Kevin Patullo takes a lot of flak for that. But when this offensive line isn't rolling like it's capable of, nothing goes right for Philly.
