Philadelphia Eagles Preview

The Eagles advanced to 2-0 after a 34-28 victory over the Minnesota Vikings last week. Despite their success, they have had two close games so far and their season could easily be in the other direction.

They average 359.5 total yards a game, with 181.5 coming from passing. On defense, they allow 392 from their opponents and 340 come from passing. This needs to improve drastically if they want to remain undefeated.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts has barely eclipsed 360 yards passing in two games. They have a new offensive coordinator, which might have some impact on this output. This definitely needs to change if they want further success, as the Buccaneers are good at defending against rushing.

They are averaging 29.5 points a game and allowing 24. This is not a lot of breathing room and they cannot afford any mistakes. They have a big task on their hands to score against a tough defensive Bucs team.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Preview

Quarterback Baker Mayfield is thriving in Tampa, but will his success continue? The Buccaneers looked great in their 27-17 win against the struggling Chicago Bears and gave the offense some positive momentum heading into this game.

They consistently generate an average of 341.5 yards per game, with a significant 245 yards stemming from their passing game. Conversely, they concede an average of 331.5 total yards on defense, with a substantial 277.5 yards attributed to opposing passing plays. This sets the stage for an aerial showdown, given both teams’ proficiency in passing.

This season has seen Mayfield under intense scrutiny, bearing the weight of expectations as the former top pick seizes the spotlight since Tom Brady finally retired. His performance has been exceptional, currently residing in fifth place in the league’s passing rankings. 

The team’s offensive output stands at 23.5 points per game, while their defense allows only 17 points. This noticeable disparity in scoring averages may prove pivotal in the upcoming game.
