Eagles Rush By Dallas, 34-6 - Iggles Blitz
Zack Baun led the way for the defense. He had 8 tackles, a TFL, 2 FF and a fumble recovery. Baun might be the best ILB not named Fred Warner. He’s been that good. The Eagles should listen to all of Fangio’s suggestions. The man seems to know a thing or two. Baun and Nakobe Dean both tackled very well, especially out in space. Small-ball works best when guys get short throws and add yards after the catch. That just didn’t happen in Dallas. The whole defense tackled well. Baun and Dean just stood out the most.

3) The ‘Beast’ Award: Zack Baun. Baun has simply been an unexpectedly great player for the Eagles this season. Against the Cowboys he had two forced fumbles. The first was a huge play at the goal line that saved points. The second just added some insult to injury late in the game (via @ShaneHaffNFL). Baun is on pace for 164 tackles and 6 forced fumbles this season.

“Zack Baun, let’s start the train. He’s got to get a little more love from the media and everybody,” Eagles running back Saquon Barkley said. “He’s playing at a high level. I played against him in the past, but I didn’t know he could do that at the linebacker position. I saw a glimpse of it in camp going against him, but he’s been playing lights out. He’s been playing insane. We’ve got to keep feeding off him.”
Eagles vs. Cowboys: The good, the bad, and the ugly - BGN
Linebacker Zack Baun taking down Ezekiel Elliott for a one-yard loss on a first-and-10 at the Cowboys’ 25 on Dallas’ fifth drive. On the same series, Baun slammed down Dowdle for no gain on a first-and-10 at the Dallas 41. Later, on that same drive, Baun stuck a shoulder into Elliott at the Eagles’ four, jarring the ball loose for DeJean to recover it in the end zone. Baun has really turned into something, made more impressive considering he never played inside linebacker before this season. By halftime, Baun had a team-high seven tackles, two solo and one tackle for a loss. Baun also had a fumble recovery on the Cowboys’ final play of the third quarter. He finished with a team-high eight tackles, three solo.

1. For me, this game was all about that touchdown drive at the end of the first half. Jalen Hurts had just thrown an interception in the end zone and fumbled deep in Cowboys territory. The Eagles led 7-3, but offensive mistakes – penalties, turnovers, sacks – were keeping Dallas in a game they had...
