Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28 Philadelphia Eagles 22
Thursday 14 October 2021 at Lincoln Financial Field
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Joe Buck and Troy Aikman
The beat-up Bucs won their third game as they overcame a
short week and typically hostile crowd in Philadelphia to take
down the Eagles 28-22. The running game was more utilised
with Leonard Fournette scoring twice. The defense was only
really beaten on two long pass interference calls and kept the
mobile Jalen Hurts under control for most of the night.
