Eagles Reach 4-0 With 31-25 Win in Tampa as Late Defense Delivers

Turnovers fueled by late special-teams plays carry Philadelphia despite second-half offensive lulls.

Overview

  • Rookie Jihaad Campbell intercepted Baker Mayfield in the end zone in the fourth quarter, and Moro Ojomo added a late sack to close out the Buccaneers.
  • Jalen Hurts went 15-of-16 for 130 yards and two touchdowns before halftime, then failed to complete a pass after the break.
  • Philadelphia has won the turnover battle in three of four games, with special teams flipping outcomes through three blocked kicks over the past two weeks, including a walk-off versus the Rams and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown in Tampa.
  • Saquon Barkley was limited to 43 yards on 19 carries against the Buccaneers and has 237 rushing yards through four games, marking a second straight outing under 50.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni and team captains acknowledged the perfect record but stressed the need to clean up inconsistencies and establish a steadier identity.
