Eagles win the turnover battle and the game
Eagles took the ball away and took the game with it, 38-21. Baker Mayfield was steady for Buccaneers — 11/25, 253 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. Jayden Maiava threw for Eagles — 9/20, 210 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT. Baker Mayfield has now cleared 250 passing yards in 3 in a row. On the ground: Eagles 185, Buccaneers 28.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eagles | +11.0 | -4.6 | +15.6 | +15 |
| Buccaneers | +3.3 | -1.9 | +5.2 | +9 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.
Full table.
IN THE BOOTH
Jaylen Rivers
The insider
Philadelphia's ground game simply overpowered Tampa Bay's defense—Barkley with 180 rushing yards while the Bucs managed 28 as a team tells you everything about who controlled this game.

Baker Mayfield put up 253 yards and 3 touchdowns but couldn't survive 3 turnovers—Tampa Bay's desperation to move the ball (69% passes) left them unable to lean on what little ground game they had, and it cost them against a team that's now 8-1 and playing its cleanest football.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers —
none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that
did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Only meetings Sapphire can attribute to both men are counted — a Madden export never says who owned a team last season, so the series starts where the record does.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
