Eagles vs Bucs Preview
The Eagles are coming off a 34-28 win over the Minnesota Vikings on September 14. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts went 18-of-23 for three total touchdowns and an interception in the win. He had a ton of help from running back D’Andre Swift, who had a career-high 175 yards on 28 carries against the Vikings, also scoring a touchdown. The Eagles had been taking a rush-by-committee approach, but Swift may be seeing more touches after last week’s performance.
“We’re going to ride the hot hand. Do I think it’s sustainable? Shoot, his body is ready to go,” Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said about Swift. “I don’t ever want to put an expectation on anybody. If he’s got the hot hand on Monday night, we’ll keep rolling with him.”
One player to watch for the Eagles will be wide receiver A.J. Brown, who was visibly upset about his lack of targets during the team’s Week 2 game against Minnesota. Brown had four catches on six targets for 29 yards in that game, so look for Hurts to go to his No. 1 wideout early and often against Tampa Bay.
On the other side, the Buccaneers are fresh from a solid 27-17 win over the Chicago Bears last week. Bucs QB Baker Mayfield was efficient in the win, going 26-34 for 317 yards and a TD. The Tampa Bay defense also stepped up, finishing with six sacks, while defensive lineman Shaquil Barrett scored on a pick-six off Bears quarterback Justin Fields.
Few foresaw a 2-0 start for Mayfield and company, but their underdog status suits the Bucs just fine.
“That’s been the narrative, but we’ve known the whole time what we have in this locker room and the team that we’re trying to build, where we’re trying to head,” Mayfield said. “The important part now is not letting the outside noise affect us in the building. We didn’t let it affect us before, why let it do it now?”
Tampa Bay leads the all-time series 11-10. These two teams last met in the NFC Wild Card game in January of 2022, with the Bucs beating the Eagles, 31-15.
The broadcast crew slated to call the game include: Joe Buck (play-by-play), Troy Aikman (analyst) and Lisa Salters (sideline reporter).
