As he was waiting for the ball, Zach Pascal bumped into him while trying to block a Lions player.Ī fumble, obviously, could have given the Lions the ball inside the Eagles' 20-yard line in a game the Eagles won by only three points. Punt returner Britain Covey, playing in his first NFL game, was back to field a punt early in the fourth quarter with the Eagles holding a 10-point lead. It could've been disastrous for the Eagles. Jefferson had 184 yards receiving while Cook had 90 yards rushing in Minnesota's 23-7 win over Green Bay on Sunday. The Vikings boast the NFL's best wide receiver in Justin Jefferson and one of the top running backs in Dalvin Cook. It won't get any easier against the Vikings, the Eagles' opponent next Monday night. "Coach that better and tackle better next week." "We just gotta be better at that," Gannon said. Gannon said that didn't have anything to do with it. The Eagles didn't have any live tackling in their summer practices, and the starters played just a handful of snaps total in the three preseason games.
The Lions converted 9 of 14 third downs, but they were 7 of 8 on third downs in the second half. "Everything else, we kept everything in front of us. "We gotta get better at tackling," Gardner-Johnson said. Apparently, he figured out Gannon's philosophy quickly enough. 31, the Eagles traded for safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, who played 97% of the snaps despite getting a crash course on the defense. But the results were supposed to be different after the Eagles signed pass rusher Haason Reddick, linebacker Kyzir White and cornerback James Bradberry along with drafting Davis. The Lions had only one play for more than 40 yards, and that was on Swift's 48-yard run on the first series.įor the most part, the Eagles kept everything in front of them. In many respects, it was reminiscent of last season, when the Eagles would allow quarterbacks to complete an unusually high percentage of passes, all with the goal of not allowing anything deep. Lions running back D'Andre Swift had 144 yards on only 15 carries. In all, the Eagles allowed 181 yards rushing, the most since they allowed 200 yards in Week 4 last season.
