Dave Weinberg’s Eagles-Raiders 2-Minute Drill
Here is a quick look at the highs and mostly lows in the Eagles loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
Eagles' best number: 2 (Jalen Hurts TD passes)
Eagles' worst number: 91.2 (Derek Carr's completion percentage)
View from my living room: I haven't seen a butt-kicking like that in Las Vegas since I was playing 3-card poker at MGM Grand in 2014.
Three stars
1. Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (31-34-323 yards, 2 TDs, 1 interception)
2. Raiders tight end Foster Moreau (6 catches, 60 yards, 1 TD)
3. Raiders defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (2 sacks)
Eagles' best play
Wide receiver DeVonta Smith made a great catch for a 24-yard gain that led to the Eagles' first touchdown on the opening drive.
Eagles' worst play
Sirianni chose to accept a 10-yard holding penalty on the Raiders even though the Raiders' punt team was on the field.
Turning point
Trailing 17-7 at halftime, the Eagles opened the second half by attempting an onsides kick. The Raiders recovered and wound up scoring a touchdown to increase the lead to 24-7.
