Cin: Punt, FG, Punt
2022:
Jax: Punt, TD, Punt
Cincy: Punt, Punt, FG
All this "The Eagles can get off to a fast start and then play from in front..." stuff just doesn't stand up to how Spags defenses have performed in the post-season. He does a really nice job of having his defenses coming out prepared for the team in front of them.
If the Eagles manage 7 or fewer points on their first 3 possessions, they'll be down 10+ points before they get their 4th...

So, 1.7 points per possession.
Which is below the NFL average. And they're doing this to playoff teams QBed by real QBs.
The worst QB in that grouping is Ben Roethlisberger. Who, even old, is better than anyone the Eagles played in the NFC rounds.
