Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Football Preview - September 29-2024
After pulling out an exciting comeback win against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday, Philadelphia will head back into action Monday night at Raymond James Stadium against their Super Wild Card Weekend opponent Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both teams look to continue their postseason runs while this matchup marks a rematch from Week 17 last season when Philadelphia beat them.
At their first encounter, the Bucs outmatched and outshone the Eagles defense and it was difficult for either team to establish offensive momentum. Since then, however, Philadelphia has made several veteran roster additions - most notably trading away safety Terrell Edmunds for Kevin Byard from Tennessee in exchange for 2024 fifth and sixth-round picks; Byard has had an immediate impact, providing Mike Evans of Bucs an adversarial matchup against whom Byard has made a formidable opponent.
The Eagles secondary will face its own set of difficulties during this series. Cornerback Darius Slay has been struggling to recover from an ankle injury and benching; additionally, defensive end A.J. Brown suffered an injury during the final week of regular season play and will also miss this matchup.
On the other side of things, the Bucs' late season offensive surge helped them secure their playoff qualification. Now they must demonstrate whether these gains on offense can continue into this game against an Eagles team that's playing their best football of the year.
