After benching Russell Wilson, the team finally found its spark.

Dart threw for 283 yards and three TDs in a breakout game.

But disaster struck — Skattebo suffered a brutal ankle injury vs. the Eagles.

[{"selector":"#anim-51a6b2fc-8f34-4264-a91b-6fc61e126c85","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-86073461-3a17-4748-b050-c5f1d6c5b2a2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 133.05205%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The hit came from linebacker Zack Baun during the second quarter.

[{"selector":"#anim-85f0110e-9278-443c-9263-aa2bc5f70678","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0fa9bf98-adb6-44d5-88e8-3ada79383c1b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 127.35585%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Fans blasted Baun for a “hip drop tackle” that wasn’t flagged.

[{"selector":"#anim-01bb574b-f4ab-4d70-b388-ebebf3b91062","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-389c1083-cb42-49f6-a82c-d76ecb78cd6f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 157.09654%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Skattebo was carted off as Philly fans gave him a standing ovation.

Baun now faces possible fines or suspension for the hit.

The NFL reviews such plays weekly to enforce safety rules.

Skattebo’s injury could push the NFL to get tougher on dangerous tackles.
