On Sunday, after three quarters of horrendous play by the Eagles offense, they had a chance to steal the most important game of their 2018 season.
With 1:22 remaining in the fourth quarter of their do-or-die game against the Cowboys, running back Darren Sproles punched in a touchdown that somehow brought the Eagles to within 23-22. It was a minor miracle, as Dallas’ offense had been on the field virtually the entire game (they would eventually finish with 93 plays run to the Eagles’ 48 and an edge in time of possession of 45:33 to 22:32) thanks to a Philadelphia offense that couldn’t string together three good plays in a row until the final quarter.
