Rush was unable to find any rhythm in the game, throwing for 45 passing yards on 13-of-23 attempts before being replaced by Trey Lance. Lance didn't fare much better himself, throwing one interception and being sacked twice in limited action.

The Eagles defended their end zone twice. Earlier in the second quarter, on first-and-goal at the 6, Zack Baun and C.J. Gardner-Johnson struck Ezekiel Elliott at the line, jarring the football loose, where it was recovered for a touchback by Cooper DeJean. Baun later forced another fumble in a fourth quarter rendered needless.
