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.
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.
With a Week 13 showdown against San Francisco looming, here’s an instant analysis of Sunday’s comeback win.
Sean Desai
Sean Desai’s group was missing a few key players and got absolutely shredded in the rain, as Josh Allen and Bills’ offense accounted for 505 yards while converting 59% on 3rd down(13-22) and scored 4 TDs in 5 red zone trips(80%).
Buffalo ran 27 more plays than the Eagles and finished with a 40:00 to 27:00 advantage in time of possession.
Christian Elliss not ready for primetime
Elliss had 7 tackles and 1 tackle for loss, but got lost in coverage multiple times and almost cost the Eagles a win.
