Game Recap: Panthers 25, Eagles 14

Bryce Young and the Panthers' offense force the Eagles to fall to 2-4 at Lincoln Financial Field.

16x9_CARvsPHI_Final

The Eagles lose their fourth game in a row after Bryce Young threw for 281 yards, elevating the Panthers to a 25-14 win.

Tanner McKee threw for 215 yards and a touchdown in his season debut, but the offense struggled to stay ahead of the sticks with multiple self-inflicted errors. Dameon Pierce accounted for all Philadelphia's 35 rushing yards as the Eagles' ground game continued to be ineffective without running back Saquon Barkley - as well as a rotated offensive line that allowed four tackles for loss.

Standout player for the Eagles

LB Zack Baun

The defensive captain had success rushing after Bryce Young, forcing multiple throw aways and/or forced incompletions on blitz attempts. With the Carolina offense backed up on their own 11-yard line in the fourth quarter, Baun was able to bat down a pass on first down, leading to a three-and-out and a chance for the Eagles to keep the game alive.
