The Hollywood ending wasn't meant to be for Gardner Minshew and the Philadelphia Eagles. Minshew accounted for three touchdowns, but his second interception led to the go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter of Dallas' 40-34 victory.
Instead, the Philadelphia Eagles will have to wait at least a few more days to clinch the top seed in the NFC.
The NFL-leading Eagles need one victory in their final two games to wrap up home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. A win would also secure the NFC East title.Even though the Eagles knew they likely would be without Hurts — who sprained his throwing shoulder in last week's win over Chicago — they gave Minshew the day off Tuesday to attend the service at Mississippi State.
"You can’t give a good team like that the ball four times," coach Nick Sirianni said. "We put the defense in a tough spot. We can’t help a good team beat us by giving the ball away." That final incompletion ended Philadelphia's run of scoring on 36 consecutive possessions inside the 20. It was the longest active streak in the NFL.
