On Sunday, the Eagles were without A.J. Brown (hamstring), DeVonta Smith (concussion), and Lane Johnson (concussion) and didn’t have enough depth in key positions to keep their winning streak alive. They suffered a disastrous 33-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, which saw several players exit due to the humid conditions.
Jalen Hurts was sacked six times on the afternoon, and the star quarterback committed another turnover (fumble), as Philadelphia could not sustain any offensive consistency without the big three in the lineup.
Saquon Barkley had ten carries for 84 yards (8.4 avg). Still, with the Eagles playing from behind all afternoon, the running back was unable to get the Philadelphia offense over the hump against a motivated Tampa defense.
An Eagles defense that shut New Orleans down in Week 3 was gashed to 445 total yards for the Buccaneers offense, including 111 rushing yards and a twelve-minute advantage in time of possession.
Baker Mayfield was on fire early, and even after an inefficient second half, he still was 30-40 passing for 347 yards, two touchdowns, and a 100.2 rating.
With Philadelphia (2-2) now having a week off thanks to the bye, we’re looking at takeaways and observations from Sunday’s loss.
