In the first of two Week 3 Monday Night Football games, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 25-11. The game brings the Eagles record to 3-0, while the Buccaneers drop to 2-1.

Offensive spotlight: The Eagles had a handful of offensive players who deserve a shoutout, but we’ll give the nod to running back D’Andre Swift for this spotlight. 

A week after he ran for 175 yards on 28 carries, he rushed for 130 yards on 16 carries against the Bucs. 

Defensive spotlight: Bucs linebacker Lavonte David was all over the field against the Eagles. Though it didn’t result in a win, he led the team in tackles with 13 and recorded the Bucs' only sack.

Rookie spotlight: Eagles rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter once again made his presence known early in his NFL career.

He finished the game with two tackles, a quarterback hit, a forced fumble and half a sack.
