Eagles vs. Buccaneers live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Thursday Night Football’ game

Tom Brady has long made it known that he would like to continue playing until he is 50 years old. About a quarter of his 44-year-old season, he has shown no signs of slowing down and has a favorable game ahead against the Eagles.

The Buccaneers are 4-1 right now and occupy the top spot in the NFC South, with much of the success on Brady’s shoulders. In his sophomore year at Tampa, Brady leads the NFL so far in yards and passes completed and is second in touchdowns with 15 to five games. He also just won 411 yards and five touchdowns on his last outing.

Brady will be without star tight end Rob Gronkowski for the third game in a row, but that might not matter. Even in Gronkowski’s extended absence, the Buccaneers currently sit third in runs scored and total yards. They face an Eagles team that also has one of the worst defenses in the league, which should bode well for Leonard Fournette.

The Eagles come off a 21-18 victory over Carolina, Jalen Hurts’ first fourth quarter comeback to lead the Eagles in his career. Hurts returned the ball once and fumbled once, but also scored two touchdowns.

Hurts leads the Eagles in rushing yards, an area the Eagles can lean on with tight end Dallas Goeddert on the COVID roster. However, seven skill position players on the Eagles have 100 or more receiving yards this season, so Hurts likes to spread the ball around.

The Eagles are looking to return to .500 and hold onto some ground in the NFC East, while Tampa look to extend their lead in the NFC South.
