Roob’s Observations: Eagles fight back, force OT and pull off incredible feat against Bills originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Send this one to the MVP voters.
Jalen Hurts put on a 2nd-half masterclass Sunday afternoon, rallying the Eagles to a wild 37-34 overtime win over the Bills at the Linc.
Once again, Hurts was ineffective in the first half. Once again, the Eagles trailed an AFC powerhouse by 10 points at halftime. Once again, Hurts shrugged it all off and led the Eagles to a dramatic win.
First half Hurts: 4-for-11, 33 yards, no TDs, one INT, passer rating of 7.0.
Second-half Hurts: 14-for-20, 167 yards, three TDs, a rushing TD, no INTs, passer rating of 134.8.
Here’s our 10 Observations from another dramatic Eagles win:
1. The Eagles have been living life dangerously all year. They’ve played exactly one game – Tampa in Week 3 – that hasn’t been a one-possession game in the fourth quarter. They fall behind early and catch up late. They hang on for dear life in the final seconds. They make last-minute plays, get last-minute bounces, take advantage of last-minute turnovers. They became the first team since the 1976 Raiders to get to 9-1 without winning a game by more than 14 points and now they’re the first team to get to 10-1 without winning a game by more than 14 points since before the 1976 Raiders – because they lost 26-7 in Week 11 to the Eagles at the Vet – Roman Gabriel over Ken Stabler. It’s impossible to do what the Eagles are doing. Just the math alone says it’s impossible to win every close game you play. But this team does it. We keep saying “All they know how to do is win,” and how can you argue with that at this point? They keep winning games they have no business winning and I don’t see any reason for them to stop. A remarkable team.
2. Jalen Hurts can throw a ball really well and he can run really fast, but Hurts’ greatest ability is forgetting. Forgetting turnovers. Forgetting mistakes. Forgetting sacks….
