It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Eagles are playing well this season, especially after defeating Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. This led Skip Bayless to double down on his prediction that NFC team will make the Super Bowl next year.
In a hard-fought battle at M&T Bank Stadium, Philadelphia triumphed over the Ravens with a final score of 24-19, securing their eighth consecutive victory. The win improved their record to 10-2, while Baltimore fell to 8-5. The game showcased the Eagles’ strong defense and strategic offensive plays, particularly in the second quarter, which was pivotal for their success.
The Ravens began the game with an early lead, capitalizing on six penalties committed by Philadelphia in the first quarter. Quarterback Lamar Jackson connected with tight end Mark Andrews for a touchdown, putting Baltimore ahead 9-0. However, Philly quickly regrouped, with quarterback Jalen Hurts throwing a touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert and later scoring on a sneak to take charge of the game.
Saquon Barkley was a standout performer for Philadelphia, rushing for 107 yards and scoring a critical touchdown late in the fourth quarter. His performance not only helped solidify the Eagles’ lead but also positioned him favorably in the MVP conversation. Meanwhile, Jackson had a solid outing with 237 passing yards and 79 rushing yards, but his efforts fell short due to missed opportunities.
Special teams played a significant role, particularly for the Ravens, as kicker Justin Tucker struggled, missing two field goals and an extra point. This inconsistency proved costly for Baltimore, as they were unable to capitalize on several scoring opportunities in the second half. Coach John Harbaugh expressed frustration over the team’s inability to find rhythm and finish drives.
Sports Analyst Skip Bayless Doubles Down on Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl Prediction
Philadelphia’s big win over the Ravens generated a lot of buzz for the team. This prompted sports analyst Skip Bayless to reiterate his prediction on X that the Eagles will make the Super Bowl soon.
“AGAIN: THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES ARE GOING TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL,” Bayless tweeted.
The Eagles are are establishing themselves as serious Super Bowl contenders. Key players like Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts contribute significantly to the team’s success, supported by a robust defense led by Vic Fangio.
Despite an impressive eight-game winning streak, some critics question the team’s consistency under pressure. However, Philadelphia’s combination of offensive talent and defensive strength positions them well for the playoffs. As they aim for a top seed, their potential for a deep postseason run remains promising.
