By this point, NFL teams might be learning that getting ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles is like waving a red cape in front of a bull – a bull named Jalen Hurts.

For the fourth straight game, the Eagles trailed at overtime. And for the fourth straight game, Philadelphia rallied to win, beating the Buffalo Bills 37-34 in overtime on Sunday.

“We found a way to win and made it happen,” Hurts said.

In the rain in Philadelphia, the former Alabama quarterback threw for three touchdowns in a four-pass span in the second half and ran 12 yards for the winning touchdown with 2:37 left in overtime as the Eagles improved their NFL-best record to 10-1.

“Just clutch in clutch moments,” Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni said of Hurts. “There’s going to be plays that he wants back in the first half. There’s going to be plays that we called that we’re going to want back from the first half. But really made some big-time plays when they mattered the most.”

Trailing 17-7 and with 33 passing yards at halftime, Philadelphia scored touchdowns on passes by Hurts of 3 yards to A.J. Brown with 7:13 left in the third quarter, 15 yards to DeVonta Smith with 13:37 remaining in the fourth quarter and 29 yards to Olamide Zaccheaus with 11:07 to play in the fourth quarter.

The Eagles moved 62 and 75 yards for the first two TD passes, but an interception by former Pleasant Grove High School and Samford standout James Bradberry set up Philadelphia at the Buffalo 24 for the third.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen had two touchdown runs and two touchdown passes on Sunday. His 7-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Davis with 1:52 left in the fourth quarter gave Buffalo a 31-28 lead.

Hurts came back with five completions for 41 yards in five snaps before the Eagles stalled, and Jake Elliott kicked a 59-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime.

Buffalo opened overtime with a 40-yard field goal by Tyler Bass. Philadelphia responded with a 75-yard touchdown drive to win the game. Hurts completed 3-of-5 passes for 32 yards and ran three times for 27 yards on the series.

“He read the defense perfectly and hit the ball to DeVonta for the touchdown,” Sirianni said. “But what an unbelievable throw-and-catch by O.Z. and Jalen on the touchdown on the scramble. My goodness, that was a good play. He made a lot of really, really clutch plays in that second half. And then the big one, obviously, at the end right there. We did a great job of blocking up front, and Jalen got himself through there for a touchdown in a clutch moment. …

“I don’t think it’s anything you learn about him because you know that he’s clutch. He’s clutch. He’s been clutch for us, clutch for this city and clutch for this team for the past three years now. And so he just kept going and put his head down and worked and made some big-time plays at the end.”

Hurts also scored Philadelphia’s first-half touchdown going over the goal line from 1 yard out on the Brotherly Shove for the game’s first points with 1:06 left in the first quarter.

For the game, Hurts completed 18-of-31 passes for 200 yards with three touchdowns and one interception and ran 14 times for 65 yards and two touchdowns.

Hurts became the second Philadelphia player with at least three touchdown passes and two touchdown runs in the same game. Quarterback Michael Vick had four touchdown passes and two touchdown runs in a 59-28 victory over the Washington Redskins on Nov. 15, 2010. It was the 19th game in NFL history in which a player had at least three TD passes and two TD runs.

Sunday’s contest was the eighth in a row with a deficit of at least 10 points that the Eagles had won with Hurts at quarterback.

In its previous three games, Philadelphia trailed the Washington Commanders 17-10 at halftime before winning 38-31 on Oct. 29, the Dallas Cowboys 17-14 at halftime before winning 28-23 on Nov. 5 and the Kansas City Chiefs 17-7 at halftime before winning 21-17 on Nov. 20.

“We just continue to find ways to win,” Hurts said. “We play together. We’ve shown our resiliency day in and day out. Game in and game out, we’ve been challenged in a number of different ways, but we always find a way. That’s something you can’t really take for granted, and it’s hard to quantify.

“Obviously, we have a ton to clean up. I have a ton to clean up. I have not executed to the level of my standard and what that is yet. It seems to be enough. But in terms of the standard that I like to play to consistently and I’d like us to play to consistently as a team, enough is never enough, so you just want to continue to strive for more and play to that standard.”

Hurts’ two TD runs gave him 11 for the 2023 season, making him the first quarterback in NFL history with three consecutive seasons with at least 10 touchdown runs.

The Eagles play the San Francisco 49ers at 3:25 p.m. CST Dec. 3 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. At 8-3, the 49ers are tied for the second-best record in the NFC.

Hurts has been the starting quarterback for 14 consecutive victories over teams with winning records, including the Bills on Sunday – an NFL record for the AFC/NFC era.
