The Eagles have been very fortunate to have a quarterback like Jalen. He has taken the franchise to a 9-7 record this season and also a berth at the playoffs. However, the defense also deserves credit as they were able to contain WFT to just 16 points which they scored in the first half only.
While the offense took that opportunity to come back in the game after a slow start in the first half, The Eagles successfully scored 13 points in the second half, outscoring the guests and sealing the win with it. Now, the Eagles will be on the road to face the Dallas Cowboys next week.
