The story so far for the Eagles has been Lee Johnson's phenominal punting and Brian Mitchell's special teams kick return at the top of the game. For the Bucs, an improved offense that seems to be even greater than touted, as they've eaten up the yardage on almost every drive.
Not unexpected of Brian Mitchell since he returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter against San Francisco to set an NFL return record back in Novemeber. Mitchell has a combined 13 touchdowns from kickoff and punt returns to break the record of 12 set by Eric Metcalf. Mitchell is the league's career leader in eight categories, including combined kick return yards and combined kick returns. (snagged details online)
Bucs may be in trouble with Offensive Lineman Cosey Coleman going down to an injury, carted away, and with sketchy reports that he will not likely return after the half due to a severe ankle strain.
Eagles forty-one year old Punter Lee Johnson has been the largest factor in the game for Philadelphia, forcing the Bucs to start their drives from horrendous field position.
With the triple threat of Mike Alstott's running, Keyshawn Johnson receiving and Brad Johnson's QBing talent, the Bucs' Offensive Line has not had much to worry about from the Eagles rushing, or the poor field positions that they've been handed.
Though down now 17-10 with just over a minute left in the first half, the Eagles aren't giving up as they are making their way back to Bucs' territory...
