The Eagles are back in The Linc for their Week 9 home game against the Jaguars.
The Philadelphia Eagles are now 5-2 heading into their matchup against Doug Pederson and the Jacksonville Jaguars, and are rolling with a three-game win streak.
Jalen Hurts hasn’t had a turnover since the bye week, and the defense is finally getting some momentum and taking the ball away. Dallas Goedert and Darius Slay will notably be missing on Sunday, but Grant Calcaterra has done a great job in Goedert’s place, and Isaiah Rodgers has filled in well for Slay on occasion through seven games.
Isaiah Rodgers alongside rookies Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean is a really exciting opportunity to have a young and fast secondary. They’ll have a couple of challenges against the Jaguars, but have yet to elicit any doubt that they won’t rise to the moment.
Here’s hoping that the Eagles offense can score points on their first drive, and continue to lean on the run game to open up explosive play opportunities for A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
