Philadelphia answered in the second quarter. Tank Bigsby scored on a 2-yard run up the middle with 12:49 remaining before halftime, and Jake Elliott’s extra point tied the game at 7. Later in the quarter, Hurts connected with DeVonta Smith on a deep right pass for 22 yards and a touchdown. Elliott’s kick gave the Eagles a 14-7 advantage with 1:49 left in the half.

Ward completed 13 of 20 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns, and he ran four times for 7 yards. The Titans carried that momentum into the fourth quarter and briefly took the lead when Slye made a 33-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining, putting Tennessee ahead 20-17.

Philadelphia then produced the decisive drive. Hurts completed passes to move the Eagles into scoring position, and with nine seconds left he found Cooper short over the middle for a 3-yard touchdown.

Zack Baun added four tackles. The Eagles held Tennessee to field goals on two second-half possessions, which proved critical when the offense mounted its final drive. Philadelphia’s defensive front also limited the Titans’ rushing attack enough to force Ward to make plays through the air and with his legs.

The Titans finished with 20 points and had chances to put the game away. Ward’s two rushing touchdowns and Slye’s two field goals kept Tennessee within striking distance throughout. Tennessee’s special teams also received a boost from Dike’s kickoff returns. Philadelphia’s previous result was a 24-22 home win over Washington on Sept. 13, 2026.
