The Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) hosted the Buffalo Bills (6-6) on Sunday evening from Lincoln Financial Field wearing their Kelly Green jerseys for the second and final time of the season.
This season, the Eagles are known for getting off to slow starts and are a second half team. However, their slow start almost cost them a win. After giving up a touchdown to Gabe Davis which put Buffalo up 31-28, Philadelphia kicker Jake Elliott kicked a 59-yard field goal which made it 31-31 to send the game into overtime.
In overtime, Buffalo kicker Tyler Bass kicked a 40-yard field goal with 5:52 left in overtime. Then, the Eagles marched down the field and Jalen Hurts sealed the game with a 12-yard touchdown to give the Eagles a 37-34 overtime win. Click here to watch the highlights.
