The Philadelphia Eagles are flying high in the Tampa heat, as they have acquired a 24-6 halftime lead over the Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield said the Eagles arriving earlier than planned wouldn’t help them handle the warm conditions, but Jalen Hurts and Co. look well-adjusted.
The game started off with a blocked Bucs punt, which was picked up by Sydney Brown and returned 35 yards for the first touchdown of the afternoon. On Philly’s first possession, Hurts marched the offense 73 yards down the field on seven plays, and hit Dallas Goedert for a two-yard touchdown — the first of two first-half touchdown receptions for Goedert.
The Buccaneers have struggled to move the ball on offense, but kicker Chase McLaughlin did convert on an incredible 65-yard field goal right before the halftime break.
