For the third week in a row, the Eagles got off to a slow start against an NFC East team. For the third week in a row, the Eagles were able to rebound.
Not unlike early in the season, Philadelphia’s defense had their issues with being too soft. But they came up with some big stops when it counted. None bigger than Rodney McLeod picking off Taylor Heinicke to effectively end the game.
The Eagles’ offense wasn’t clicking all day but Jalen Hurts had a strong performance, making some critical throws.
