Tyler Shough, despite the loss, threw for 249 yards for the Saints, with Chris Olave contributing with 98 receiving yards, but their efforts fell short against a relentless Eagles offense.

The game’s turning point came late in the first half when the Eagles scored back-to-back touchdowns, creating an insurmountable lead that the Saints could not overcome.
