Mixed reviews

Janoris Jenkins: Sunday was a typical Jenkins-type of game. There were moments where he looked like a lockdown corner, batting passes away, knocking the ball out of a receiver’s hands and playing well against the run. At other times, he was giving too much cushion, allowing first downs and making errors against the run. A true 50-50 kind of game for The Jackrabbit.

Saquon Barkley: It was another unimpressive day for Barkley save for a run or two. He dropped a would-be touchdown early in the first half and took until late in the fourth quarter to finally secure a break-out run. He finished the gamer with 59 yards on 17 carries, and one of those went for 22 yards.

Nate Solder: Solder was in the “winners” section for much of the game, having handled Khalil Mack in a way precious few expected, but eventually, the All-Pro edge rusher broke through causing a strip-sack of Daniel Jones. Still, all things considered, tip your cap to Solder who played better than just about anyone expected.

Alec Ogletree: Ogletree came up with a key and extremely athletic interception early on and had a few other flash plays in coverage, which is generally a weakness of his. But there were other moments where he remained a liability in coverage.

Others: Lorenzo Carter, David Mayo
