The Philadelphia Eagles outlasted the upstart Carolina Panthers, 22-16, to move to 11-2.
Philadelphia's run game moved the ball well yet again, posting 0.354 EPA per play with 215 net yards and a total of eight explosive runs. The Eagles' stout defense was also strong yet again, limiting Carolina to -0.013 EPA per play and 4.3 yards per play.
Even though Carolina lost, Bryce Young showed promise yet again. The former No. 1 overall pick unfurled a perfect throw to Xavier Legette which would have given the Panthers a last-second tie (if not lead), but the ball was dropped. Young completed 20-of-36 passes for 195 yards, two big-time throws, two turnover-worthy plays and a 61.3 PFF passing grade, pending final review.
