Week 1 – Philadelphia Eagles
Notable injuries:
PHI: None
NFK: SLB Jones
Outlook:
Offensively we'll look to attack the right side of their offensive line with the rush. We'll try them out deep as their secondary is a place they're not dominant. It might burn us as they have a couple of good ballhawks in place.
A great Eagles offense will be a handful. We'll play soft in defense and hope for a bend but don't break mentality. We'll target C Kelce and RT Johnson with blitzes but we won't blitz a bunch. We'll rely on our CB 1-on-1 against WR's Jeffery and Jackson so the space for star TE Ertz is limited.
Game:
Alex Smith and Marqise Lee came firing out on the first possesion in Norfolk. It all ended prematurely in the redzone and we settled for a field goal. An even game went back and forth but ended when NFK failed 2 yards short on the final possesion and turning it over on downs on the PHI 2-yard line.
Notable performances:
WR Lee, 13 catches for 203 yards, 1 TD
DE Suh, 5 tackles, 2.5 sack, 1 hurry
DE Brockers, 5 tackles, 1.5 sack, 2 hurries
S Diggs, 1 pass deflection, 1 FF, 0 catches allowed
