Hurts Drives Eagles to Last-Second 24-20 Win Over Titans

Hurts’ game-winning nine-play drive highlights his late-game poise and leaves Tennessee with questions about finishing and its secondary.

Overview

  • The Eagles rallied to a 24-20 victory after Jalen Hurts led a nine-play, 65-yard drive capped by a 3-yard touchdown pass to Darius Cooper with nine seconds remaining.
  • Hurts completed 26 of 37 passes for 264 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while repeatedly converting high-leverage third downs on the final possession.
  • Amani Hooker swung early momentum with a 92-yard interception return for a Titans touchdown that erased an Eagles red-zone chance and kept the game tight.
  • Titans linchpin Jeffery Simmons drew attention with pregame comments about forcing Hurts to 'be a QB' and a viral taunt clip, and he and Hurts exchanged words on the field after the game.
  • Philadelphia coped with an ad-hoc offensive-line shuffle and limited rushing output after Landon Dickerson went to IR and Saquon Barkley left with a stinger, while Jalen Carter later said a late cramp was not a new wrist setback and the Eagles now sit 2-0 ahead of a road trip to Chicago.
