Philadelphia Eagles: Studs and duds vs. Packers in Week 4
Stud: Nigel Bradham
Nigel Bradham seemed like he was absolutely everywhere in this game. He was flying around the field to get in on the run game, active and effective in coverage and, of course, registered the game-sealing interception in the end zone off a deflected pass. It was a strong performance for the linebacker as he finished with the pick, six total tackles and two passes defensed in Week 4.
Stud: Offensive line
The Packers defense was rightfully lauded coming into this game and, while Pederson’s game-calling no doubt helped the Eagles, the offensive line may have been even more impressive. After Green Bay’s rebuilt front seven registered six sacks last week, the likes of Jason Peters and Lane Johnson held the Pack without a sack on the night. They weren’t perfect as there was pressure at times but, overall, it was a stout performance up front for Philadelphia.
Dud: Nelson Agholor
With a depleted receiving corps in the past two weeks, Nelson Agholor has actually stepped up big for the Eagles offense. Against Atlanta, he registered eight catches on 11 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown. He followed that up against Detroit with eight catches on 12 targets for only 50 yards but two scores.

That did not continue in this game. Agholor couldn’t get open against a scarecrow on Thursday night and registered no catches on just one target in a highly forgettable effort. Thankfully, Philly didn’t need him.
