PhillyVoice • • sports
Key Points:
- In the Eagles' Week 7 loss to the Cowboys, Tanner McKee played all 66 offensive snaps at quarterback, showing mostly decent backup play despite one critical interception.
- Saquon Barkley, despite playing through hamstring and back injuries, was the team's best skill player with 7 carries for 62 yards, a touchdown, and 2 catches, demonstrating significant heart and effort.
- Makai Lemon had a breakout game at wide receiver with 7 catches for 67 yards and his first NFL touchdown, showing promise as a reliable slot receiver despite limited explosiveness.
- The offensive line struggled, particularly Landon Dickerson, who had a tough game against Quinnen Williams and visibly showed frustration after key plays.
- Defensively, the Eagles failed to generate a pass rush, especially on the edges, and the secondary was repeatedly beaten for touchdowns, highlighting ongoing issues in defensive performance.
