Overview

  • Denver erased a 17-3 deficit by outscoring Philadelphia 18-0 in the fourth quarter and outgaining the hosts 159-42 in the final 15 minutes.
  • Jalen Hurts went 23-of-38 for 280 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and summed up the loss as a "lack of execution."
  • Philadelphia leaned heavily on the pass with just 11 rushing attempts as Saquon Barkley logged six carries for 30 yards plus three catches for 58 yards.
  • First-year coordinator Kevin Patullo’s calls drew scrutiny after sequences of eight straight passes and costly flags, including an illegal shift that nullified a fourth-and-4 conversion; the Eagles had nine penalties for 55 yards.
  • Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson (ankle) and tight end Grant Calcaterra (oblique) exited with injuries as the defeat snapped a 10-game home win streak and set up a short-week trip to face the Giants on Thursday.
