Grayson’s Grades: Eagles at Bucs
The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the first half, then held on enough to preserve a 31-25 victory. It was a bizarre case of two very different halves.
Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts failed to complete a pass in the second half. Running Back Saquon Barkley also struggled to find any running room throughout the game. Defensively, the Eagles gave up a pair of explosive plays in the second half to allow the Bucs to get back into the game. They also forced a pair of turnovers.
The Special Teams unit deserves another huge pat on the back after blocking another kick, this time it was after the Bucs opening drive. Cameron Latu blocked the punt while Sydney Brown picked it up and returned it for a touchdown.
The Eagles improved to 4-0 and joined the Buffalo Bills as the two unbeaten teams left in the NFL. There remains a lot that needs to be fixed with this team as they head into the second month of the season. The Eagles host the Denver Broncos next Sunday afternoon.
