The Philadelphia Eagles overcame a 19-point deficit in the second half on Sunday to defeat the Los Angeles Rams, 33-26, buoyed by a pair of blocked field goals in the fourth quarter.
It’s fairly rare that a team blocks two field goals, let alone a potential game-winner as time expires, but Jalen Hurts wasn’t about to chalk it up to luck.
“There’s no such thing as luck,” he told reporters after the win. “You make your own luck. This was very revealing. There ain’t another group of guys I want to play with. As ugly as it was, and as beautiful as the ending, you can only learn.”
One thing the Eagles learned, potentially, was to open up the offensive playbook a bit more going forward. After a fairly miserable first half, Hurts had 204 passing yards and three touchdowns in the second half as the Eagles finally went less conservative with the game plan.
But after the Rams scored a touchdown just a minute into the third quarter to take a 26-7 lead, Philly’s defense held them scoreless the rest of the way. Blocking a pair of field goals and forcing a turnover on downs in the fourth quarter certainly helped in that effort.
It wasn’t pretty, but the defending champs are now 3-0 on the season, and Hurts doesn’t think there’s anything lucky about it.
The Philadelphia Eagles survived a scare against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday to remain undefeated.
The Rams had a shot at a game-winning field goal, but Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis blocked the kick and returned it for a touchdown to seal a 33-26 comeback victory.
A four-yard touchdown pass from Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith with 1:48 left in the fourth quarter paved the way for the team’s comeback win over the Rams. Philadelphia had trailed for the entire second half before Hurts’ third touchdown pass of the game.
In all, Hurts was 21-of-32 for 226 yards, three scores and no interceptions. He also had 40 rushing yards and another touchdown on the ground. Star receiver A.J. Brown led the way with six catches for 109 yards and a touchdown, while Smith notched eight receptions for 60 yards and the game-winning score.
Fans on social media were blown away by the resiliency shown by the reigning Super Bowl champs in Sunday’s win over the Rams:
The Eagles overcame a tough day for star running back Saquon Barkley, who was limited to 46 yards on 18 carries. It was his third straight game with less than 100 rushing yards to start the season.
And of course, the Eagles also had another Tush Push moment that drew some attention:
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 196 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the loss. Running back Kyren Williams had 94 rushing yards and two catches for 18 yards and a score.
The Eagles will look to stay undefeated when they return to action next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Rams will try to bounce back against the Indianapolis Colts.
