Eagles defeat Titans as Hurts leads game-winning drive

Summary

Philadelphia recorded 76 offensive snaps and 53 defensive snaps in a Week 2 victory over Tennessee, highlighted by Jalen Hurts' late drive and strong performances from DeVonta Smith and rookie wideout Dontayvion Wicks.

The Philadelphia Eagles secured a win against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2, running 76 offensive snaps and 53 defensive snaps. Quarterback Jalen Hurts handled all 76 offensive plays and engineered the decisive late-game drive that clinched the victory.

Running backs saw limited action, with Will Shipley recording 39 snaps, Tank Bigsby 26 and Saquon Barkley 12 before exiting with a stinger injury. The ground game was described as ineffective, partly attributed to adjustments in the offensive line scheme.

Wide receiver DeVonta Smith logged 67 snaps and was noted for making a series of difficult catches, while rookie Dontayvion Wicks, with 47 snaps, became a frequent target on third-down situations. Other receivers included Makai Lemon (48 snaps), Darius Cooper (31) and Marquise Brown (17).

Tight end Johnny Mundt participated in 49 snaps, with E.J. Jenkins and Dallas Goedert adding 25 and 19 respectively; Goedert left the game after a knee injury on a run play. The offensive line—Jordan Mailata, Cam Jurgens, Drew Kendall, Tyler Steen and Lane Johnson—each played 76 snaps, though the analysis suggested the unit no longer ranks among the league's best.

On defense, edge rusher Jalyx Hunt recorded 42 snaps and Nolan Smith 41, with Smith registering a sack. Interior linemen Moro Ojomo (43 snaps) and Jalen Carter (41) were among the most active, while linebacker Zack Baun (53 snaps) and Jihaad Campbell (47) split the linebacker duties. Defensive backs Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Andrew Mukuba and Riq Woolen each logged around 50 snaps.

The report highlighted Smith’s sack and noted areas for improvement, including the need for additional safety depth. Overall, the Eagles’ victory was credited to Hurts’ leadership and key contributions from Smith and Wicks.
