The Eagles moved to 4-0 on Sunday and remain the NFL’s only undefeated team after a hard-fought 29-21 home win over the Jaguars in rainy conditions.
Jacksonville jumped out to a 14-0 lead in Doug Pederson’s return, buoyed by an Andre Sicso interception return for a touchdown off a misguided pass from Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts.
The Jaguars (2-2) entered the contest No. 1 in the league against the run but were shredded on the ground as the Eagles racked up 210 yards rushing.
The Eagles will now hit the road in Week five to face the Cardinals, and here’s your instant analysis from Sunday’s exciting win.
Miles Sanders career day
Sanders is looking for a new deal and is justifying his worth after a career-high 134 yards on 27 carries and two touchdowns.
Sanders also caught two passes for 22 yards and helped set the tone against the Jaguars’ top-ranked rush defense.
Eagles battered and injured
Philadelphia had five players leave the game with an injury, and DeVonta Smith was also a visitor to the medical tent.
How those injuries to Slay and the offensive linemen pan out could have a huge impact moving forward.
#Eagles injuries this game so far:
CB Darius Slay (forearm), T Jordan Mailata (shoulder), LB Patrick Johnson (concussion), RG Isaac Seumalo (ankle), LB Kyron Johnson (head).
WR DeVonta Smith was in the medical tent, but returned.

Eagles remain undefeated
The Birds are 4-0 and undefeated for the first time since the start of the 2004 season, and Philadelphia advanced to the Super Bowl, where they lost to the Patriots.
Haason Reddick heating up
After some early questions about his usage rate, Reddick has been dominant the past two games, and Sunday was no different.
Against the Jaguars, Reddick logged four tackles, two sacks, one tackle for loss, and one quarterback hit.
