PHI Eagles’ Snap Counts and Players’ Highlights in Win Over Dallas
Philadelphia, USATue Nov 12 2024
Let’s dive into the details of the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 10 win over the Dallas Cowboys, with a focus on who played and how they performed. On the offensive side, the Eagles had some key players sitting out, which meant Fred Johnson and Mekhi Becton had to play the whole game. Despite missing some starters, Dallas Goedert had a solid return, catching two passes for 25 yards and a touchdown after a few games out. Saquon Barkley didn’t see a lot of action, with only 15 total touches, possibly saving his energy for the next game against the Washington Commanders.
Jahan Dotson has been picking up his game recently, with a couple of catches totaling 63 yards in the past two games. Kenny Gainwell and Will Shipley also had moments to shine due to Barkley’s reduced involvement. Johnny Wilson grabbed a five-yard touchdown catch, proving his worth in the red zone. Ainias Smith has been getting at least one designed touch in the past two weeks, showing the Eagles are looking to use him more. Kenny Pickett didn’t have a great day, only completing one pass for five yards. Meanwhile, Ben VanSumeren continued his role as the team’s fullback.
Moving to the defensive side, the Eagles had to manage with fewer safeties, so C. J. Gardner-Johnson played more, securing an interception. Zack Baun led the team in tackles, and also had two forced fumbles and one recovery, even though he didn’t play the entire game. Jalen Carter’s snap count was lower than usual but was still significant. Isaiah Rodgers stepped in for the injured Darius Slay and saw a lot of action. Jalyx Hunt, the rookie edge rusher, saw more playing time this week, logging the second-most snaps in his position. He also deflected a pass that led to an interception opportunity.
Bryce Huff made the most of his limited time, getting a strip-sack and a tackle for loss. Jordan Davis and Sydney Brown saw some action, with Brown easing back into the game after returning from injury. The special teams were active with Braden Mann handling six kicks and four punts. Jake Elliott had a perfect day, making all his field goals and extra points. Several players were inactive but the Eagles still pulled off the win.
