It was about as perfect a performance as it could have been for the Philadelphia Eagles, as not only did they get the win they desperately needed, but they shut out the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0.
The Raiders were held to just 75 yards of total offense with the Eagles' defense forcing a turnover. Philly's offense finally got rolling for nearly 400 yards, but dominated on almost every offensive possession in the game for their ninth win of the season.
This game couldn't have gone any better for the Eagles as they needed to win to stay ahead in the NFC East race. There are plenty of winners that came from this matchup for Philly.
Winner: Dallas Goedert, TE
Yes, he had the one dropped touchdown catch in the first half, but he was still as good as they came. Dallas Goedert finished with six receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns. Eagles fans can hold him accountable for the dropped pass, but Goedert was pretty great in this game as he continues to prove he is worthy of a new contract.
Winner: Vic Fangio, DC
This defensive game plan was about as perfect as it gets for Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Besides holding the Raiders to zero points and 75 yards of offense, they also only converted three of 12 third downs, had seven first downs, and held the ball for just 20 minutes. Fangio continues to show why he is a defensive genius and showed the Raiders the hard way.
Winner: Brandon Graham, DL
Welcome back officially, Brandon Graham! How about two tackles, one tackle for loss, two quarterback hits, and two sacks in the win? Graham put on a vintage performance that Eagles fans haven't seen in a long time, and it was a ton of fun to watch.
Winner: Kevin Patullo, OC
A round of applause for Patullo putting together an excellent offensive game plan, as it was no doubt one of his best games as offensive coordinator in 14 games. The offense was 13 yards from 400 yards. Patullo got Hurts to bounce back massively, and they ran for 183 yards with the ball for nearly 40 minutes. Week 15 is an excellent example of Patullo having a chance to be a good offensive coordinator, but he needs to stick to what works best and be consistent with it.
Losers: Former Eagles on Raiders
Poor Kenny Pickett and Thomas Booker IV, as they got stuck on the Raiders, had to suffer through that game on the other sideline. Pickett threw for 64 yards and one interception while taking four sacks in the loss. Booker had three tackles and one tackle for loss to top off an ugly performance from the Raiders.

Winner: Jalen Hurts, QB
The man of the hour, Jalen Hurts, was spectacular as he has gotten his groove back with three incompletions for 175 yards and three touchdowns, adding 39 rushing yards in the win. Hurts was about as good as he can be and needed it after all the chatter about him. For at least one week, the city of Philadelphia will be off his back for a bit.
