The Philadelphia Eagles got some good news ahead of their Week 8 Sunday Night Football game against the Washington Commanders with the Dallas Cowboys choking and losing to the Arizona Cardinals!
It seemed like the Cowboys were cruising to a win. They took a 14-point lead late in the third quarter and Arizona was not seriously threatening to come out on top:
But the Cardinals made a quarterback change from Jacoby Brissett to former Eagles backup Gardner Minshew. And that change clearly paid off with Minshew going 17/23 for 188 passing yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 137.3 passer rating.
It was then the Cardinals who nearly had the game won; they scored a touchdown with just six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter … but Chad Ryland missed the go-ahead extra point to keep it tied at 30 points each.
The Cardinals then went three-and-out to begin overtime, allowing the Cowboys to win the game with a field goal make. But former Eagles edge rusher Josh Sweat came up with a huge third down sack to force Dallas into a punt.
From there, the Cardinals drove into field goal range for the win!
