Overview
- Safety Sydney Brown returned a Cameron Latu–blocked punt 35 yards for the opening touchdown, and Jalen Hurts threw two first‑half scores to Dallas Goedert in a 31-25 road win.
- Saquon Barkley added a third‑quarter rushing touchdown on a fake sneak after a Bucky Irving fumble, extending a lead that withstood Tampa Bay’s rally.
- Baker Mayfield hit Emeka Egbuka and Irving for 77‑ and 72‑yard touchdowns, but Jihaad Campbell’s end‑zone interception and a late Moro Ojomo sack preserved the result before an intentional safety ended the game.
- Per senior NFL researcher Tony Holzman‑Escareno citing OptaSTATS, the Eagles are the first team reported to score consecutive touchdowns on a field‑goal block return and a punt‑block return across back‑to‑back games.
- Injuries included Eagles RT Lane Johnson (shoulder) and DT Jalen Carter (shoulder) exiting, while Bucs kicker Chase McLaughlin hit a 65‑yarder to close the half as Philadelphia looks ahead to hosting Denver.
