The Eagles were huge favorites entering Sunday and they took care of business against the Raiders.
Early in the fourth quarter of their 31-0 win over the Raiders, the Eagles were able to empty their bench and get their players some much-needed rest as they enter a short week. The Eagles have a Saturday game in Week 16 in Washington so any extra rest should help.
Here’s a complete breakdown of their snaps from Sunday:
Offensive notes
• The Eagles played 69 snaps on offense but Fred Johnson and Tyler Steen were the only players to play all 69. Jalen Hurts, Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens all played 52 before getting pulled early in the fourth quarter. Brett Toth, Drew Kendall and Matt Pryor replaced the trio of offensive linemen who came out. Toth and Kendall played the final 17 snaps, while Pryor played 19 because he got a couple snaps earlier in the jumbo package.
• Tanner McKee had played just 4 offensive snaps all season (in Week 8 against the Giants) but the backup quarterback played 17 in relief of Hurts against the Raiders and he looked good. McKee led the Eagles’ backup offense on a 17-play, 79-yard drive that took 11:22 off the clock in the fourth quarter. The Eagles’ offense was stuffed at the goal line but McKee looked good completing all three of his passes for 33 yards and running the offense efficiently.
• Saquon Barkley played 39 of 69 snaps (57%) and had to grind out 78 yards (and a touchdown) on 22 carries. Tank Bigsby played 27 snaps (39%) and had 57 yards on 17 carries. That’s a season-high in snaps for Bigsby, who played his previous high of 16 in Week 8 against the Giants. Will Shipley got four snaps.
• The WR snaps: A.J. Brown — 50 snaps (72%), Jahan Dotson — 37 snaps (54%), DeVonta Smith — 36 snaps (52%), Darius Cooper — 21 snaps (30%), Britain Covey — 4 snaps (6%). Brown and Smith didn’t have great production in this game but they didn’t need it. Both made plays when called upon. Cooper had 2 catches for 29 yards after a 19-yard catch last week.
• Big game for Dallas Goedert, who had 6 catches for 70 yards and 2 touchdowns. He had a chance for a third touchdown but dropped a pass in the end zone. Here’s how the TE snaps shook out: Goedert — 51 snaps (74%), Grant Calcaterra — 37 snaps (54%), Cameron Latu — 19 snaps (28%), Kylen Granson — 18 snaps (26%).

Defensive notes
• The Eagles’ defense pitched a shutout and was on the field for just 42 snaps. The Raiders ran just 42 offensive plays, which is the second-lowest total against the Eagles under Vic Fangio. (The Steelers ran 41 against them last year.) Since 1978, an opposing team has run 42 or fewer plays against the Eagles just seven times.
• No one on defense played all 42 snaps but five players played 39 of 42: Cooper DeJean, Marcus Epps, Zack Baun, Quinton Mitchell and Reed Blankenship. Adoree’ Jackson was right behind them with 37 snaps.
• A week after playing a season-high 30 snaps, Brandon Graham played just 7 against the Raiders but was very productive. At 37 years old, Graham became the oldest Eagle to ever have a sack and he ended up with two in this game.
• The Eagles played their second straight game without Jalen Carter (shoulders) and still got a ton of pressure on Kenny Pickett. Here’s the DT rotation: Moro Ojomo — 33 snaps (79%), Jordan Davis — 28 snaps (67%), Byron Young — 16 snaps (38%), Brandon Graham — 7 snaps (17%), Ty Robinson — 5 snaps (12%).
• The edge rusher rotation: Jaelan Phillips — 30 snaps (71%), Nolan Smith — 26 snaps (62%), Jalyx Hunt — 25 snaps (60%).
• The Eagles emptied the bench at the end of the game as Sydney Brown, Smael Mondon, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Kelee Ringo, Andre’ Sam, Michael Carter and Jakorian Bennett played the final three snaps.
