Eagles defeat Titans 23-20 to improve to 2-0

Philadelphia (2-0) held off a late comeback by Tennessee to win 23-20 on Sunday at Nissan Stadium. The Eagles entered the contest as seven-point road favorites and briefly fell behind after a field goal gave the Titans a three-point lead with under two minutes remaining.

"We were able to stay composed and execute in the final minutes," quarterback Jalen Hurts said after the game. Hurts finished with 264 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions on 26 of 37 attempts and added 16 rushing yards. He engineered a nine-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in the decisive touchdown pass with 1:56 left and no timeouts. Wide receiver DeVonta Smith recorded 10 catches for 117 yards and a score, while rookie Dontayvion Wicks contributed five receptions for 74 yards, all on third- or fourth-down situations. Tight end Darius Cooper caught a 23-yard pass and scored the game-winning touchdown. Kicker Jake Elliott connected on a 58-yard field goal, his longest of the season, helping to extend the lead earlier in the fourth quarter. The Titans’ offense was led by quarterback Cam Ward, who posted a passer rating of 115.2 and threw for 250 yards. Defensive end Jeffery Simmons generated seven pressures, including one that forced an Eagles interception. Philadelphia’s offensive line saw changes, with Cam Jurgens starting at left guard and Drew Kendall at center. The unit allowed multiple pressures on Hurts, and the running game managed only 89 yards on 32 carries. Defensively, the Eagles recorded three sacks and five quarterback hits, while safety Andrew Mukuba and linebacker Marcus Epps each missed three tackles, according to Pro Football Focus data. The victory marks the Eagles’ first road win in Tennessee and extends their unbeaten start to the season.
