Jalen Hurts and the Eagles battle the Bills under the heavy rain up in Buffalo.
POSTGAME – Well, the Eagles won.
They were up 13-0 at the half, the defense was punishing Josh Allen and the Bills with stop after stop, and then the offense shut down and left the game to chance.
The Bills rallied, but then rolled the dice on the two-point chance for the win with just seconds left and missed.
The Eagles survived, 13-12, improving to 11-5 and with a chance still to move up in the NFC playoff seedings. But man, do they need to thank every last one of their lucky stars for that one.
Here's the immediate coverage from Week 17...
• The pivotal plays from the Eagles' miracle (?) win over the Bills (Nick Tricome)
• Eagles Week 17 stock watch: Pass rush is elite vs. Bills despite some questionable calls (Evan Macy)
And as always, you can run back through the conversation of Sunday's game as it happened down below.
PREGAME...
The 10-5 Philadelphia Eagles have a new winning streak after wins over the Las Vegas Raiders and Washington Commanders. They'll have a stiffer test in Week 17 against the Buffalo Bills. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. EST.
The Eagles will be without star RT Lane Johnson, starting linebacker Nakobe Dean, and starting rookie safety Andrew Mukuba. The Bills will be without DT Ed Oliver, TE Dalton Kincaid, and a couple of kickers. You can find the Eagles' and Bills' inactives here.
As noted in our five things to watch, the Bills have the No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL, as Dalvin Cook leads the league in rushing, and Josh Allen leads all quarterbacks in rushing. However, their run defense stinks, as they are a bottom-five team in most pertinent rushing categories. The run game will be a huge factor in this game, in cold and wet conditions.
The Eagles are 2.5-point underdogs. The Eagles clinched the NFC East last week, but they still have something to play for, as the 2 seed is still a possibility. Feel free to comment on the game below.
