Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, Jalen Hurts began to find his rhythm. He completed 15 out of 24 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns by halftime. Dallas Goedert was instrumental in this period, catching four passes for 37 yards and scoring both touchdowns. The Buccaneers struggled to keep up as their offense was stifled by an aggressive Eagles defense that recorded multiple tackles for loss.


Third Quarter


In the third quarter, Saquon Barkley added to Philadelphia's lead with a rushing touchdown from six yards out. Despite some resistance from Tampa Bay's defense, which managed to sack Hurts twice during this period, Jake Elliott extended their advantage further with a successful field goal attempt from 39 yards.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw Sydney Brown making an impact on special teams by returning a blocked punt for a touchdown—a pivotal play that sealed Tampa Bay's fate. Although Mike Evans tried to rally his team with several key receptions leading to one touchdown drive late in the game, it wasn't enough against Philadelphia’s relentless pressure.


The Philadelphia Eagles vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers final score stood at 31-25 in favor of Philly after an impressive display of tactical prowess and defensive strength throughout all quarters.
