Zack Baun Shines in Eagles' Season-Opening Win Over Commanders
The Philadelphia Eagles secured a 24-22 victory over the Washington Commanders in their season opener, with linebacker Zack Baun playing a pivotal role in the win.
Baun recorded a game-high 12 tackles, along with two passes defensed and a tackle for loss. His performance earned him the title of LFG Player of the Game from Tom Brady, who noted that Baun was already demonstrating midseason form.
This marks Baun's second time receiving this honor, having previously won it last season. The Eagles' defense, which has been a reliable force, held the Commanders to 295 yards of offense, while quarterback Jayden Daniels struggled with a completion percentage below 50%. Baun acknowledged the challenges posed by the Commanders' new offensive coordinator but credited the team's preparation for their successful outing.
