The Philadelphia Eagles escaped with a win over the Tennessee Titans, with Jalen Hurts leading a game-winning drive.
The Philadelphia Eagles had a closer game than they would've liked against the Tennessee Titans, narrowly escaping with a 24-20 win.
It took a nine-play, 65-yard drive by Jalen Hurts at the end of the game, culminating in a touchdown to Darius Cooper with nine seconds left.
It was a rough game for Hurts up to the game-winning drive, as he completed 26 of 37 passes for 264 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions while rushing for 16 yards on five attempts.
The Eagles' run game struggled with star running back Saquon Barkley missing part of the game with a stinger. Barkley did return, but he had just nine yards on four carries and one catch for 11 yards.
Tank Bigsby led Philadelphia in carries and rushing yards, with 13 carries for 13 yards and a touchdown. It was an inefficient day for the Eagles on the ground, with 32 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown (2.8 yards per carry), which is something they will need to address moving forward.

Rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon didn't have much of a role in the win, as he had just one catch for 14 yards.
On defense, Philadelphia held the Titans offense to 183 yards and zero touchdowns through the air. However, quarterback Cam Ward did find the end zone, rushing for two touchdowns.
Tennessee had a solid game on the ground, rushing for 122 yards and two touchdowns on 29 attempts.
The Eagles had some impressive plays from their defensive line, with Nolan Smith Jr. and Jalen Carter each recording a sack, and the team totaling six tackles for loss.
While Philadelphia is starting off 2-0, it has been far from perfect, and they will need to be better with matchups against the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams coming up next on the schedule.
