"ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Eagles defense rose to the occasion Sunday, delivering a goal-line stand in the second half and surviving a two-point conversion at the end of regulation to help Philadelphia escape with a 14-13 win over the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles (11-5) blanked the NFL's No. 3 scoring offense for three-plus quarters before Buffalo (11-5) struck twice in the final moments, including on a 1-yard Josh Allen touchdown run with five seconds remaining."
"Coach Sean McDermott opted to go for two, but Allen's pass to Khalil Shakir in the back of the end zone was off the mark. "Wanted to be aggressive, going for the win," McDermott said. "We feel like only a certain amount of time left at that point and felt like we had a great call, great opportunity to go win it, and I'm gonna be aggressive, so I'm not gonna sit back.""
The Eagles defense delivered a decisive goal-line stand in the second half and denied Buffalo's late two-point conversion attempt to preserve a 14-13 victory. Philadelphia held the NFL's No. 3 scoring offense scoreless for more than three quarters before Buffalo scored twice in the final seconds, including a 1-yard Josh Allen touchdown with five seconds left. Coach Sean McDermott elected to attempt a two-point conversion to win, but Allen's pass to Khalil Shakir fell short. Linebacker Zack Baun stopped Allen inches short on a fourth-down scramble earlier. Jalen Carter returned from a shoulder procedure to record a sack, a tackle for loss and a blocked extra point. Defensive tackle Jordan Davis emphasized composure amid chaos.
