Murray's performance was solid, while McCarthy struggled to find his footing. Carson Wentz saw increased playing time due to injury concerns. Meanwhile, safety Jamal Adams suffered an apparent leg injury and was carted off the field, potentially setting the stage for a prolonged absence for the team.",
