Eagles Dominate Bucs in Battle of Unbeatens
The Philadelphia Eagles went on the road and dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 25-11 in Week 3’s lone game to feature two unbeaten teams. The Eagles’ defense stifled the Bucs, holding them to just 289 total yards and 11 points. Philadelphia’s offense also did its part, led by running back D’Andre Swift, who had 125 yards rushing and a touchdown.
The Eagles got off to a fast start, scoring touchdowns on their first two drives. Quarterback Jalen Hurts threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver A.J. Brown on the first drive, and then Swift ran for a 1-yard touchdown on the second drive. The Eagles led 14-0 at the end of the first quarter.
The Bucs finally got on the board in the second quarter with a 43-yard field goal by Ryan Succop. But the Eagles answered right back with a 34-yard field goal by Jake Elliott. The Eagles led 17-3 at halftime.
The Eagles continued to dominate in the second half. They added a field goal in the third quarter and a touchdown pass from Hurts to Brown in the fourth quarter. The Bucs scored a touchdown late in the game, but it was too little too late.
The Eagles’ defense was the key to their victory. They held Tom Brady to just 209 passing yards and one touchdown. They also sacked Brady four times. The Eagles’ defense is one of the best in the NFL, and they showed it against the Bucs.
The Eagles are now 3-0 on the season, and they look like one of the best teams in the NFC. The Bucs are now 2-1, and they will need to get things turned around quickly if they want to compete for a championship.
