Broncos rally to stun Eagles with fourth-quarter comeback

In Philadelphia, USA, the Denver Broncos faced the Philadelphia Eagles in a closely contested matchup on October 5, 2025. As the game progressed, the Eagles dominated early, taking a commanding 17-3 lead by the end of the third quarter. The Eagles' Jalen Hurts showcased his skills with a couple of touchdown passes, putting the defending Super Bowl champions in a strong position. However, the tide turned dramatically in the fourth quarter when the Broncos, led by quarterback Bo Nix, orchestrated a remarkable comeback. Nix threw a critical 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Evan Engram, which was followed by a successful 2-point conversion, allowing the Broncos to take an 18-17 lead with just over seven minutes remaining. The Eagles faced mounting pressure as they were unable to convert a crucial fourth-down play, which was nullified by an illegal shift penalty against running back Saquon Barkley. The Broncos then added a field goal to extend their lead to 21-17, leaving the Eagles with little time for a comeback. In the final moments of the game, Hurts attempted a last-ditch pass, but it was batted down by the Broncos' defense, sealing the Eagles' first loss of the season. This game ended the Eagles' impressive 10-game winning streak, as they fell to a 4-1 record, while the Broncos improved to 3-2. The defeat raised questions for the Eagles regarding their play-calling and execution, particularly regarding their running strategy, as head coach Nick Sirianni expressed his dissatisfaction with their offensive approach in the second half. Jalen Hurts attributed the loss to a lack of execution, indicating a need for the team to regroup quickly before their upcoming game against the New York Giants.
