This game was pretty competitive most of the way. But only because the defense was keeping it that way. Nick Foles was clearly not running the Eagles offense with anywhere near the proficiency Carson Wentz had and the Raiders defense was holding their own against him. And the Raiders were able to do just enough against the usually stout Eagles defense to keep it interesting throughout.
The Raiders’ secondary looked up to the task early on. Great coverage on three plays to open the game forced a three-and-out for the Eagles.
