Overview
- Philadelphia’s defense set the tone, sacking Josh Allen five times and preserving a win after a 13-0 halftime lead narrowed to one.
- Jalen Carter returned from a shoulder layoff to notch a sack and a pivotal late extra-point denial credited as a block by multiple outlets, though some local reports labeled it a miss.
- Allen rallied Buffalo with two fourth-quarter quarterback sneaks before his throw to Khalil Shakir on a go-for-the-win conversion sailed wide with five seconds remaining.
- The Eagles’ offense stalled after halftime, producing 17 yards as Jalen Hurts went 0-for-7 passing in the second half.
- Buffalo slipped to the AFC’s No. 7 seed while Philadelphia secured at least the NFC’s No. 3 with a path to No. 2 still alive; Allen’s postgame foot X-rays were negative.
