The Philadelphia Eagles started the game slow against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4. The Jaguars started hot, really, as they went up 14-0 real quick.
The game started with Jalen Hurts throwing a pass and it is tipped in the air and intercepted for a pick-six by the Jaguars. That puts the, up 7-0 before the Jaguars even touch the ball.
Then, the Jaguars force a punt due to their defense, and the Eagles' offense just not clicking to start. The Jaguars then were able to drive the ball down the field and score on a touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Jamal Agnew.
The Eagles still struggled after that, as they turned the ball over on downs. However, that would be the last of the struggles we would see from the Eagles in the first half.
From there, Philadelphia went on to score 20 straight points and took the lead just before the half.
The Eagles scored off of a punt on their first scoring drive. So that can be credited to both the offense and defense. Then, they forced Jacksonville to punt and scored on that possession. The defense forced another fumble and scored on that possession just before the half.
The Eagles had 71 total net yards and a turnover on the first three drives. They had 163 total net yards on the next three drives all of which ended in a touchdown. They had one drive that was 71 total net yards itself.
The Eagles are showing the Jaguars why they are still the only undefeated team in the league and considered the best in the league. They are never truly out of a game no matter how bad the lead is for the opposing team.
The Eagles are showing they have a counterpunch to everything the Jaguars do. This team is truly built differently. Expect to see more of this later in the season.
