Here's some of what you will hear
Kracz and Myles break down the game Jalen Hurts played.
What does it mean for this team's future?
Are you on board with how the QB is playing or still skeptical?
It may have been the quarterback's best game, though that's a question that comes up a lot, lately. The Eagles are 9-3 in his last 12 starts, including the playoff loss last year to the Buccaneers.
The offense was only one part of the game.
The defense came to play and that took some heat off DC Jonathan Gannon.
Fletcher Cox also raised his level of play from Week 1.
In the third phase of the game - special teams - the Eagles did a nice job in punt coverage against Jalen Reagor, but having a field goal block could have been devastating had Arryn Siposs not made a touchdown-saving tackle.
And what about the kick returner? Is Quez Watkins the answer?
All that and more when you hit one of the links.
