Eagles vs. Jaguars: Best photos from Philadelphia’s 28-23 win in Week 9

We’re looking at the top photos from the Philadelphia Eagles 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 at Lincoln Financial Field

Nick Sirianni left 8+ points on the board with questionable calls, but Philadelphia got stops on defense when needed.  The Eagles moved to 6-2 on Sunday afternoon with a 28-23 win over Jacksonville. A.J. Brown was forced to exit with a knee injury. Still, Saquon Barkley made highlight-reel plays, and DeVonta Smith was a rock as the Eagles’ offense struggled to put the Jaguars away. However, it was functional enough to stay within a game of Washington in the division. With preparation for Dallas set to begin, we’re looking at the top photos from Sunday’s big win. ***

It wasn’t the most explosive first half, but Philadelphia rode the emotion of Nick Foles’ retirement and a raucous crowd to keep Atlanta out of the end zone late in the first half. The Eagles hold a 7-6 lead heading into the second half.

Playing without A.J. Brown, Philadelphia used a DeVonta Smith touchdown catch to establish a 7-3 first-half lead before the Falcons pulled within one.

With the second half set to begin, here are takeaways and observations from the first half.

Primarily a punt returner, Covey joined DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson for the second snap, lined up as an outside receiver. Covey had two catches in the first half, for six yards on two targets.

Monday saw a matchup of two similar running backs with the veteran Saquon Barkley, and second year running back Bijan Robinson. Through two quarters, Robinson has the lead. The Falcons star has 10 carries for 72 yards, and one catch for 72 yards. Barkley has eight carries for 37 yards rushing in the first half.

Whether it was a punishment or by some design, Eagles star defensive tackle Jalen Carter didn’t see a snap in the game’s first series. He was back in the lineup for the second series. CArter finished the first half with one tackle.

At this rate the Eagles best offensive play is Jalen Hurts running. Hurts has 47 yards rushing on the Eagles final drive of the half. Hurts was 9-13 passing for 70 yards and one touchdown. He had six carries for 51 yards rushing.

Smith was going to be the focal point of the Eagles offense with A.J. Brown out and the Heisman Trophy winner rose to the occasion. Smith had three catches for 30 yards and a touchdown on the Eagles four possessions.

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson for the teams Week 12 matchup against the Buffalo Bills after he woke up with groin pain.

The Eagles are 88-48-1 (.646 win pct.) in games in which Lane Johnson has played and 13-22 (.371) when he is not in the lineup.

Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro offensive tackle Lane Johnson (groin) has been downgraded to questionable vs. the Buffalo Bills with a groin injury

The Eagles could be without All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson, as the team downgraded him to questionable ahead of Sunday afternoon’s matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Johnson missed two games down the stretch last season with a torn adductor and had groin surgery after Philadelphia’s 38-35 loss to Kansas City in the Super Bowl.

If Johnson can’t play, Jack Driscoll, Tyler Steen, or Fred Johnson could get the start at right tackle against the Buffalo defense with the second-most sacks in the league entering today’s games with 39 on the year.
