It wasn’t perfect and the offense is still working to find its groove and put together four quarters of football, but winning on the road in the NFL is hard and the Eagles are 4-0 and have beaten three playoff teams from last year. pic.twitter.com/Asiw20P0qS
Jalen Hurts is feeling golden after Eagles win over Buccaneers
What else is there to say? Philadelphia withstood all of the punches from a really good Tampa Bay team, and is still undefeated. Regardless of how rough things look at times, the Eagles know how to win games, and they proved that again on Sunday. However, this game wasn’t that dramatic for Philly, leading wire to wire. The Bucs did make it close in the end, but the Eagles ultimately got the job done.
As for Hurts, he was quite golden as well. The star quarterback completed 15-of-24 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Hurts also led the Eagles in rushing, carrying the ball nine times for 62 yards. He also didn’t have any turnovers, which goes a long way.

Now, Hurts and the Eagles will turn their attention to the Denver Broncos, who they play next Sunday. In the NFL, anything could happen in a given week, but when Philadelphia is clicking it’s a pretty hard time to beat. Even when the Eagles aren’t clicking, they are still a hard team to beat, and that is what makes the 4-0 start so encouraging. The Eagles are clearly working through things, but they’re still in a golden position.
