Joe Milton did a decent job replacing Tanner McKee as the Eagles' starting quarterback. Milton completed 18 of 34 for 169 yards. He was sacked seven times for minus-41 yards. But he also missed a lot of open receivers with sketchy accuracy. Milton, however, was able to do things McKee could not do, like scramble from pressure for a team-high 64 yards rushing.

Milton showed mobility but accuracy issues in Eagles start; 18-of-34, 169 yards, 64 rushing yards.

Milton completed 18 of 34 for 169 yards with seven sacks for minus-41 yards in his start replacing Tanner McKee. He showed mobility the source notes McKee could not provide, scrambling for a team-high 64 yards rushing, but missed open receivers with sketchy accuracy. In the first half, Milton was 8 of 14 for 87 yards and 24 rushing yards on five carries, marked on a curve by the source; he had a 23-yard scramble on third-and-eight and a 10-yard completion to Lemon on third-and-seven. However, he underthrew an open Elijah Mitchell at the two-minute warning that could have been a touchdown, with the source noting his rust showed.
