The rushing average was 3.7 yards per attempt, although the 35 rushing attempts and 36:53 time of possession kept the offense on schedule and protected the lead.

Jalen Hurts added 25 rushing yards and Philadelphia scored on a last-play-of-the-half quarterback sneak. Quinyon Mitchell recorded two drive-ending pass breakups, including a fourth-down stop in the red zone, and Philadelphia finished with five tackles for loss.
