Eagles snap count vs. Bills: Breakdown, observations from 37-34 win in Week 12

Philadelphia remains the best team in the NFL after Jalen Hurts threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more, outplaying Buffalo’s Josh Allen late in the first of what could be many high-profile matchups in their careers.

The Eagles overcame a 17-7 first-half deficit for the second straight game, using a 59-yard field goal from Jake Elliott to take the Bills to overtime.

Elliott tied the game with 20 seconds remaining. After the Bills went ahead with a field goal on the first possession of overtime, Hurts put the game away with a walk-off 12-yard score that made the Eagles the only 10-1 team in the NFL.

With a Week 13 showdown against San Francisco looming, here are the snap counts and playing time percentages for Week 12.
