Thesnap counts illustrate how Philadelphia distributed its workload around Joe Milton, who played every offensive snap in his first Eagles start. Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper carried the receiving responsibilities, while Jeremiah Trotter Jr. handled nearly every defensive snap with Jihaad Campbell unavailable and Zack Baun leaving with a back injury.

Eagles offensive snap counts
Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper lead the receivers
Lemon and Cooper each played 65 of Philadelphia’s 70 offensive snaps with DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks sidelined. Lemon turned his opportunities into six receptions for 61 yards on nine targets, leading the Eagles in receiving.
Cooper caught two passes for 25 yards on eight targets. Brown played half the offensive snaps and caught his only target for 16 yards, while Moore finished with one reception for minus-3 yards. The workload established Lemon and Cooper as Milton’s primary receivers, although their production differed considerably.
Saquon Barkley and Elijah Mitchell divide the backfield
Barkley played 41 snaps while managing hamstring and back injuries, with Mitchell handling the remaining 29. Barkley scored Philadelphia’s only touchdown but gained 22 yards on 13 carries. Mitchell added six rushing yards and three receptions for 20 yards.
Milton led Philadelphia with 64 rushing yards. His mobility helped compensate for an ineffective conventional running game, but seven sacks and limited production from the backs prevented sustained offensive success.
Eagles defensive snap counts
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. handles an expanded role
Trotter played 64 of 67 defensive snaps. According to Philadelphia’s postgame notes, he led the team with 10 tackles, including a career-high three tackles for loss, and forced a fumble. Baun recorded seven tackles, two sacks, and three tackles for loss despite playing only 32 snaps.
Mondon contributed 26 defensive snaps as Philadelphia adjusted its linebacker rotation. The bye now provides valuable recovery time while the Eagles assess Baun’s back injury.
Marcus Epps returns to a larger role
Epps played 43 defensive snaps compared with seven for Moore, reflecting Philadelphia’s change at safety in nickel personnel. DeJean, Mukuba and Quinyon Mitchell never left the field defensively, while Woolen missed only two snaps.
Carter led the defensive front with 58 snaps. Philadelphia finished with 14 tackles for loss, nine quarterback hits and six sacks, including sacks from Carter, Davis, Greenard and Smith. The defensive production gave the Eagles a chance, but the offense could not capitalize.
