The Philadelphia Eagles remain the only unbeaten team in the NFL after their 29-21 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Led by a significant day on the ground by Miles Sanders that included two touchdowns, the Eagles were able to regroup and come back from a 14-point deficit to beat their former coach, Doug Pederson.
As previously mentioned, former Penn State running back Miles Sanders had a terrific game on the ground, which included 134 yards rushing along with his two touchdowns.

The running game on the other side was the complete opposite, as the Jaguars ran for a combined 71 yards on the ground. The Eagles defense has repeatedly stepped up this season and did it again by completely shutting down one of the best young running back tandems in the league in James Robinson and Travis Etienne. Robinson came into the contest tied for the third most touchdowns in the league amongst running backs with three. In this one, Robinson had his worse outing of the season; rushing for 29 yards on eight carries.
To emphasize the dominant Eagles defense, linebacker Haason Reddick had a dominant showing as he had two sacks to go along with a quarterback hit on Trevor Lawrence.

Also joining Reddick in the sack department was fellow linebacker T.J. Edwards who had a tremendous outing in the Eagles week three victory over the Commanders.

The Eagles will head to Arizona to take on Kyler Murray and the Cardinals in their week five matchup. They will look to continue their winning ways against a Cardinals team that has struggled but has truly overcome adversity after picking up their second win of the season this past week against the Carolina Panthers.
As for Jacksonville, although they lost, they have shown much promise to start the season with a new head coach and a cast of young studs with lots of potential. They will head home in week five for a division showdown against a winless Houston Texans team.
