The Bucs jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, with Brady connecting with Godwin for a 19-yard touchdown and Fournette adding a 2-yard rushing score. The Eagles responded with a field goal, but the Buccaneers extended their lead to 21-3 in the second quarter with a 43-yard field goal by Ryan Succop. The Buccaneers blew the game open in the third quarter. Brady hit Evans for a 32-yard touchdown, and then threw another touchdown pass to Godwin, this one from 35 yards out.

The Eagles, meanwhile, dropped to 4-6. With the win, the Buccaneers remain in contention for the playoffs in the highly competitive NFC South.
