It’s a battle of undefeated teams Sunday afternoon in Tampa when the Buccaneers (3-0) host the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) at Raymond James Stadium.
Tampa blew a 23-6 lead to the Jets after three quarters but rallied late for a 29-27 win despite getting a late field goal attempt blocked and returned for a touchdown. Chase McLaughlin split the uprights from 36 yards with just under two minutes to play to provide the final difference. They are a banged-up team, but with the win Baker Mayfield and co. now sit two games up in the NFC South.
Philly continues to set the pace in the NFC East. Their 33-26 win over the Rams this past weekend also featured a blocked field goal attempt returned for a touchdown. Jordan Davis blocked a last-second 44-yard attempt from Joshua Karty and returned it 61 yards for the clinching score in a 33-26 win for the defending champs. It was actually the second blocked field goal in the game for Philadelphia. Trailing 26-21, Jalen Carter blocked a 36-yard try by Karty at the conclusion of the Rams’ previous possession to spark the comeback.
No doubt special teams will play a role in this one. Lets dive into the matchup and perhaps find an angle or two to attack.
