The offense is threatening to get on track here. Let’s hope they get there in the second half.

Birds' D shuts down the Broncos, and will receive a punt with 1:26 left in the 1st half.
46-yard punt, and a FC by Dotson at the Birds' 11. 1:19 left in the half. The Birds have 1 TO left

They run 3 passes from their own 10 with a minute left. Now they punt to Denver who has a timeout. SMH.
3rd & 6 ...
Hurts is hit as he releases the ball, and it's incomplete. He had the TE free, but didn't have enough time

Birds' punt is nearly blocked. Could have been a mess.

Shipley has to stay in bounds to force Denver to use their final TO. Of course he runs out of bounds.
0:15 left, and the Broncos will punt
Dotson with a FC at the Birds' 5. I would have let the ball go, likely into the endzone
Birds take over with 0:08 left in the half

Interesting that Denver continues to give up passing yardage rather than let Barkley have space. So far it’s kept them in the game.
The Eagles need to capitalize a few times in the second half and back them out of the box more.

Feels like Dotson could return some of these punts. Calling FC when there’s one guy to beat with what looks like some room to run.
Barkley, TD!!!!!!
47-yard TD pass. Perfect pass by Hurts

Jalen Hurts is so sharp today. Such a pleasure to watch a master at work. Making every read, making great decisions. Not taking any chances and throwing the ball perfectly every single time. The TD to Barkley was an audible at the line according to Romo. Eagles aren't trying to force the run, take what the defense gives them and Hurts is too much for the Denver secondary.
It's been that way for a couple years now. I wonder if Sirianni has made a calculation that it's safer to get those yards on offense -- not work the risk of turnover on the punt return. They won't return unless there is clearly room.
how is that not intentional grounding???
the refs finally throw the flag after meeting.

wow, the safety came free on a blitz, and nobody picked him up. AJ was open, but Hurts had to throw too early.
3rd & 6 ...
slant to AJ Brown, but Surtain knocks it away. Bird will have to punt

OK. The offense is set up near midfield here. They have a chance to virtually lock down this game.
ugh, Hurts had AJ wide open, in the center of the field, and overshot him. AJ seemed to stop for a few steps during the route, which may be why the ball was too long. smh
