Did Las Vegas Raiders' Defense Falter Against Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field?

The Las Vegas Raiders faced a challenging encounter against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, resulting in a 31-0 defeat. This game marked the Raiders' 2-13 record, while the Eagles improved to 10-5. The match saw the Silver and Black struggle to find their rhythm both offensively and defensively.

First Quarter

The opening quarter set the tone for what would be a difficult game for the Raiders. Despite some initial defensive efforts, including Maxx Crosby's sack that resulted in a loss of yards for the Eagles, Las Vegas couldn't capitalize on these opportunities. The Birds managed to break through with an early lead that they would maintain throughout.

Second Quarter

As the second quarter unfolded, it became evident that Philadelphia's offense was in full control. The Raiders' defense, led by Isaiah Pola-Mao with 10 combined tackles and Devin White contributing significantly with 16 tackles, attempted to hold back Jalen Hurts and his team but struggled against their relentless advances. Meanwhile, Kenny Pickett faced pressure from an aggressive Eagles defense leading to four sacks.

Third Quarter

In this period of play, Las Vegas continued to face challenges moving downfield effectively. Brock Bowers emerged as one of Pickett's primary targets with six receptions totaling 28 yards; however, these efforts were not enough to convert into points on the board. The lack of offensive momentum was compounded by penalties which further hindered any potential progress.

Fourth Quarter

The final quarter saw no change in fortune for Las Vegas as they remained scoreless against a dominant Philadelphia side who maintained their stronghold until time expired. AJ Cole’s punting provided some relief with an average yardage over five attempts but did little to shift momentum back towards Raider territory.

This matchup highlighted key areas where improvement is needed within both offensive strategies and defensive resilience if future games are going see different outcomes – particularly when facing high-caliber opponents like those seen during this recent clash between these two teams.
