The Eagles’ defense showed significant improvement after a tough loss in Week 2, with standout performances from players like Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis. Despite facing a formidable New Orleans offense, the defense held strong and limited the Saints to minimal yardage.
While the victory over the Saints was a significant accomplishment, it came at a cost with key players like Britain Covey, Lane Johnson, and DeVonta Smith sustaining injuries. As the Eagles prepare to take on the Buccaneers, they must be mindful of a reinvigorated Baker Mayfield and a dynamic Tampa Bay receiving duo in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Additionally, the Eagles have extra motivation heading into this matchup as the Buccaneers were the ones who eliminated them in the Wild Card round last season, sparking a tumultuous year for the team. The stage is set for a thrilling showdown in Tampa as the Eagles look to continue their winning streak.
