Jalen Hurts scored on an 8-yard touchdown run with 1:20 to play, tying the game up at 16-16 after an 11-play, 75-yard drive that lasted 3:17.
Linval Joseph was stout at defensive tackle, playing 26 snaps, and he played a significant role in the Eagles not allowing a 100-yard rusher for the first time in weeks.
It was over when
On a 3rd & 9 at the Colts’ 40-yard line (0:48 – 4th), quarterback Matt Ryan was sacked by Brandon Graham for a seven-yard loss, taking them entirely out of field goal position.
Indianapolis would take a time-out and then accrue a five-yard penalty before turning the football over on downs.
