The Eagles ran 17 plays for 70 net yards and needed nine minutes, 34 seconds to regain the lead with 6:47 left in the game. They needed to convert on a fourth down, which they did. At the Falcons’ 46-yard line, Hurts ran three yards, easily gaining the one yard needed for a new set of downs. From there, Philadelphia made its way into the Atlanta running zone.

On a third-and-3 attempt at the Falcons’ 5-yard line, Barkley caught what was initially thought to be a 5-yard pass for a touchdown. However, upon closer inspection, Barkley was one yard short, so he made the first attempt but missed the touchdown.

Hurts finished the job with his infamous tush push play. It ended up being a 1-yard touchdown run.

Philadelphia then tried to score two points instead of one. Barkley was successful on this attempt, running through the middle and breaking the plane.

This gave the Eagles a three-point lead, and the Falcons could have tied it with a field goal or taken the lead with a touchdown.

When Atlanta’s offense returned to the field, it did neither. The Falcons ran four straight plays and eventually lost the ball on a punting attempt. Robinson was stopped on a run play on fourth-and-1.

Philadelphia took the lead with 5:38 left. They took advantage of much of that time and didn’t give Atlanta much time to catch up. The Eagles kicked a 28-yard field goal to take a six-point lead, leaving the Falcons needing a touchdown. Atlanta had 1:39 to make a difference.

The Falcons actually got something done. They got into the Eagles’ end zone from their own 30-yard line on Cousins’ 4-of-5 passing. Cousins ​​hit London with a 7-yard dart for the game-winning touchdown. Koo then put the Falcons ahead with a nice point-after kick.

With 34 seconds left, Atlanta was one point ahead.

And he would keep it. Bates intercepted a long pass from Hurts, sealing the deal.

The Falcons are 1-1, as are the Eagles.

Eagles: 1-yard run by Jalen Hurts; good 2-point run … 18-15, PHI
Eagles: 28-yard field goal by Jake Elliott…21-15, PHI
Falcons: 7-yard pass from Kirk Cousins ​​to Drake London; PAT good…22-21, ATL

FINAL: Falcons 22, Eagles 21
