Ryan Fitzpatrick (191 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Justin Tucker (3-3 FG, 55 long, 3-3 XP) did their part for Philadelphia Eagles in the loss. Houston Texans (3-3) will look to maintain their momentum against Indianapolis Colts, while Philadelphia Eagles (2-4) will attempt to get back on track against Washington 🏈 Team.
