Scoreboard operators earned their money. Eagles 38, Cowboys 28. Derron Samuel did the damage for Cowboys — 20/35, 299 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Saquon Barkley ran it for Eagles — 15 carries, 170 yards, 3 TD. 3 in the league in passing yards, at 76 overall. Derron Samuel is not supposed to be doing this. Through the air: Cowboys 312, Eagles 112.

Jaylen Rivers: "Houston gave this one away—5 turnovers, and Stroud's 4 interceptions on a day he also threw 4 touchdowns, which tells you everything about how much rope a young QB gets before the rope runs out."

Giveaways decided this one. Eagles 35, Texans 32. C.J. Stroud was steady for Texans — 21/37, 371 yards, 4 TD, 4 INT — in a losing effort. Jalen Hurts did the damage for Eagles — 10/18, 282 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT. That is 3 straight games over 250 for C.J. Stroud. On the ground: Eagles 131, Texans -4.

Jaylen Rivers: "Seattle won this because Philadelphia gave it away. Hurts had one of those 474-yard, 4 touchdown nights that should end games, but 24 rushing yards means the Eagles couldn't lean on anything when it mattered, and that's a team problem that 8 points doesn't cover up." Ava Collins: "Philadelphia's 3 turnovers are the real story here—Hurts played like an MVP candidate and still lost because the Eagles can't protect the football. At 7-7 and -7 in turnover differential on the season, they're playing rope-a-dope with their own playoff life."

Seahawks won the turnover battle, and the turnover battle won the game. Jalen Hurts threw for Eagles — 27/43, 474 yards, 4 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. Jalen Milroe was steady for Seahawks — 9/14, 223 yards, 2 TD. Through the air: Eagles 474, Seahawks 223.

Jaylen Rivers: "Indianapolis couldn't get out of its own way — 4 turnovers and a quarterback with 4 interceptions is a death sentence, and Richardson Sr. can't put that on anybody else. Philadelphia just ran through them, 55 points says everything you need to know about a team that's found its footing." Talia Morgan: "Jonathan Taylor had a quiet 116 yards on 25 carries, but Philadelphia's ground game — 253 yards total — was the real story; the Eagles stayed on schedule and didn't need Hurts to beat them."

Philadelphia totaled 404 yards and somehow beat Indianapolis 55-34 while throwing the ball just 14 times, which is the weirdest number on this page. Jalen Hurts ran 6 carries for 124 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Anthony Richardson Sr completed 15 of 33 passes for 239 yards, 1 touchdown, and 4 interceptions in the rout. The Colts moved the ball well enough through the air and on the ground—408 total yards—but 4 giveaways against 1 by Philadelphia erased any chance they had at 2-11.

Philadelphia won a shootout 48-43 over Pittsburgh in Week 11, with the Eagles' ground game and pass rush making the difference down the stretch. Drew Allar was spectacular for the Steelers, completing 23 of 40 for 453 yards and 5 touchdowns, while DK Metcalf caught 8 passes for 199 yards and 3 scores, but Pittsburgh's 47 rushing yards and inability to generate pressure left them short. The Eagles ran the ball for 150 yards and got 2 sacks on Allar, who also threw 3 interceptions, while Jalen Hurts managed the game with 287 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. Pittsburgh outgained Philadelphia 500 to 437 and both teams turned the ball over 3 times each, but the Eagles' balanced attack and defensive pressure proved decisive in the 91-point combined total.
