The Eagles ran 17 plays for 70 net yards and used nine minutes and 34 seconds to regain the lead with 6:47 left in the game. They needed to convert a fourth down and they did. At the Falcons’ 46-yard line, Hurts ran three yards to easily cover the one yard needed for another set of downs. From there, Philadelphia then went into the Atlanta run zone.

On third-and-3 at the Falcons’ 5-yard line, Barkley caught what was initially a 5-yard pass for a touchdown. But then, upon closer inspection, Barkley was ruled a yard short. So he got the first down, but not the touchdown.

Well, Hurts finished the job with his infamous tush-push play. It turned into a 1-yard touchdown run.

Philadelphia then went for two points instead of one. Barkley was successful in the attempt, running up the middle and breaking the plane.

That gave the Eagles a three-point lead, meaning the Falcons could tie the game with a field goal or take the lead with a touchdown.

When Atlanta’s offense returned to the field, nothing happened. The Falcons ran four straight plays, eventually losing the ball on downs. Robinson was stopped on a fourth-and-1 run play.

Philadelphia took over with 5:38 left on the clock. They made up a large chunk of that time, which didn’t give Atlanta much time to attempt a rally. The Eagles added a 28-yard field goal to give them a six-point lead, so the Falcons needed a touchdown. Atlanta had 1:39 to make something happen.

The Falcons did indeed make something happen. They went from their own 30-yard line to the Eagles’ end zone on Cousins’ 4-of-5 passing. Cousins ​​hit London with a 7-yard dart for the tying touchdown. Koo then put the Falcons ahead with a nice point-after kick.

Atlanta had a one-point lead with 34 seconds left.

It would hold, too. As Bates intercepted a deep pass from Hurts to seal the deal.

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

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

END: Falcons 22, Eagles 21
