Eagles Edge Bills 13-12 on Late 2-Point Miss as Patriots Clinch AFC East

Josh Allen's postgame foot X-ray reportedly showed nothing new.

Overview

  • Philadelphia held on in Buffalo when Josh Allen overthrew an open Khalil Shakir on a two-point try with five seconds remaining.
  • The Eagles built a 13-0 halftime lead on a Dallas Goedert touchdown and two Jake Elliott field goals, then gained only 17 second-half yards as their defense finished the job.
  • Defensive tackle Jalen Carter, back from shoulder injuries, blocked Michael Badgley's extra point after Buffalo's first fourth-quarter touchdown in a play that loomed large.
  • Allen was sacked five times but led a late rally that included a fourth-and-goal tush push to draw within one point.
  • Buffalo's loss ended its five-year AFC East title streak and handed the division to New England, pushing the Bills onto a wild-card road path for the playoffs.
