Eagles Win Tough Opener with Grit | Philadelphia Eagles News

The Eagles opened the season with a gritty, hard-fought win over the Commanders, proving resilience over polish. Jalen Hurts delivered clutch plays, including a gutsy 22-yard scramble, while Saquon Barkley ground out 83 yards. Zack Baun dominated defensively with 12 tackles, two pass deflections, and an interception—playing like he had something to prove. But not everyone shined: Landon Dickerson battled physical issues, Cooper DeJean’s conditioning raised eyebrows, and rookie Makai Lemon underwhelmed with negative yardage. Still, Tay Wicks made big plays with a 64-yard catch and a touchdown, and Moro Ojomo sealed the win with a crucial stop on a two-point conversion. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a win—and the grit is exactly what Philly needs as the season unfolds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
