Despite a promising start by the Philadelphia Eagles, the Atlanta Falcons orchestrated a dramatic late-game comeback, sealing a victory with a touchdown pass from Cousins to Drake London with just seconds remaining. The win was punctuated by a crucial interception by Jessie Bates III that silenced Lincoln Financial Field.
' first drive of the game resulted in boos from the Philadelphia home crowd. After a promising ensuing four quarters, the final scoreboard also elicited boos.Philadelphia had been in prime position to see out the clock late in the fourth, but opted for a pass play that may have been punished by the football gods for being too greedy. Cousins , with Atlanta down 21-15, led a drive that took just under a minute to end in a Drake London touchdown.
Cousins seemed destined to fall into the loser category, but he turned it around all within one drive. After a lackluster three and three-fourths of the fourth quarters, Cousins ended the game with 241 passing yards, two touchdowns and no picks on 20 of 29 completions. Darnell Mooney, who caught a 41-yard catch and score earlier in the game, proved decisive in the final drive alongside London.How quickly one can go from the hero to zero. Hurts was destined to be a winner following a solid dual-threat outing, but now he drops into the opposite category. That's just how the nature of the game works sometimes.
But all that matters is the end result, and two plays late in the contest did not go Hurts' way. Nick Sirianni should be just at fault for not keeping things simple prior to Cousins' game-winning drive.Robinson, unlike the previous two sections, was going to be a winner regardless. The second-year running back got whatever he wanted on the night, even if it didn't result in any touchdowns. He ran for 97 yards on 14 carries, good for a nice average of 6.9.
