Philly Leader

The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for their upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium. The Eagles have not won against the Bengals since 2000, but both teams are currently on two-game winning streaks.

Quinyon Mitchell, a first-round draft pick for the Eagles, is gearing up to face one of the league's top wide receiver duos: Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. "Great receiver, physical, can run, great after the catch, so yeah, it's going to be a great matchup," Mitchell said about Chase. Despite being a rookie, Mitchell has shown strong performance metrics in coverage this season.

Cam Jurgens has been an essential part of Philadelphia's successful running game. The team ranks second in the NFL with an average of 166.7 rushing yards per game. Jurgens reflected on his role in a recent 55-yard run by Saquon Barkley: "It was OK, but if I had knocked down the guy (Banks), Saquon probably would have scored."

Defensive tackle Moro Ojomo is making an impact as an inside pass rusher for the Eagles. With notable pass rush metrics this season, Ojomo credits his success to guidance from coaches and teammates like Brandon Graham and Josh Sweat.

Fred Johnson will face off against former teammate Trey Hendrickson when he starts his third game of the season on Sunday. Johnson acknowledges Hendrickson as a formidable opponent: "Good player, good athlete, smart, very dynamic." Johnson will be tasked with handling Hendrickson's aggressive pass-rushing abilities during their matchup.

As both teams look to extend their winning streaks, each player highlighted will play pivotal roles in determining Sunday's outcome.
