Eagles vs. Buccaneers 2013: Game time, TV schedule, online streaming, trivia and more

The Eagles enter Week 6 on a one-game win streak. However, if they want to keep pace with the Cowboys in the hunt for the NFC East, they will have to go down to Tampa Bay and come out with a win. With Nick Foles likely to start on Sunday, both Philadelphia fans and the Buccaneers will have to play a guessing game as to what the Eagles will do on the road.

The Eagles offense and defense took steps in the right direction in Week 5 against the Giants but now it is time to prove it was not a fluke. DeSean Jackson against Darrelle Revis will be the matchup of the game and the Eagles will have to utilize LeSean McCoy to open up passing lanes. The Buccaneers have a rookie quarterback in Mike Glennon and the key to throwing him off his game is to improve the Eagles pass rush. This game should be close and the turnover battle will likely dictate the winner.
