Overview

• The defending champions led 17-3 before Denver scored 18 unanswered in the fourth quarter to win 21-17 and hand the Eagles their first loss.
• Rookie QB Bo Nix went 9-of-10 for 127 yards in the final quarter, and Sean Payton’s successful two-point call to Troy Franklin after Evan Engram’s TD put Denver ahead.
• Philadelphia shifted to an 80% pass ratio, finished with 45 rushing yards, gave Saquon Barkley just six carries for 30 yards, and allowed six sacks of Jalen Hurts.
• Injuries and penalties undercut the Eagles up front as All-Pro guard Landon Dickerson exited with an ankle issue and replacement Brett Toth drew a costly holding flag.
• Nick Sirianni acknowledged the imbalance and backed the run game, while players emphasized execution over touch counts before Thursday’s road game against the Giants; Denver moves to 3-2 and heads to London.
