Despite having the ball deep in Atlanta territory up 18–15, giving the team a 99% chance of victory, the Eagles could not hold on and were dealt their first home loss to the Falcons since the 2012 season. A dropped pass by Saquon Barkley stopped the clock, giving Atlanta time on the final drive to take the lead with 34 seconds remaining in regulation. Jessie Bates III then picked off Jalen Hurts on the Eagles' final drive, securing the 22–21 upset victory for Atlanta and dropping Philadelphia to 1–1 on the year.[15]

Following a field goal by the Saints, Eagles kicker Jake Elliott missed a 60-yard field goal, and the Saints scored a touchdown to take a 12-7 lead with just over two minutes left. However, a short pass from Hurts to Dallas Goedert for 61 yards on 3rd-and-16 set up another touchdown plus a two-point conversion by Barkley to make it a 15-12 Eagles lead.[16]Reed Blankenship picked off Derek Carr on the final drive to seal the win.

After a better offensive and defensive effort, the Eagles scored their first touchdown midway through the second quarter on a touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert. The Eagles extended their lead to 14-9, but the Ravens managed to kick a field goal just before halftime, bringing the score to 14-12, with the Eagles still in the lead. The Ravens missed two field goals in the third quarter, but the Eagles could not capitalize on either of their opportunities offensively. After stopping the Ravens' offense in the fourth quarter, the Eagles got the ball back, and they capped off their drive with a Saquon Barkley touchdown run to take a two-score lead. On the next possession, the Ravens were faced with a 4th and 8 deep in their own territory.

They would kick a field goal to take a 24-12 lead with just over a minute to go in the game.
