New York Post<\/a><\/p>\nUNDEFEATED NO MORE! EAGLES STUNNED IN LATE COMEBACK<\/p>\n
The Denver Broncos staged a dramatic late comeback to shatter the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 unbeaten start, overturning a 14-point deficit to snatch a 21-17 victory on the road.<\/p>\n
The reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles looked poised to extend their 100% record after battling into a 17-3 lead early in the fourth quarter at Lincoln Financial Field.<\/p>\n
But the Broncos showed huge character to battle back, with JK Dobbins rushing over from close range to help cut the gap to 17-10.<\/p>\n
After the Broncos defense forced a punt, Denver took the lead with quarterback Bo Nix engineering a touchdown for tight end Evan Engram. A successful two-point conversion put the Broncos into a slender 18-17 lead with 7min 36sec remaining.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia\u2019s sputtering offense was then forced to punt once more, and Denver took possession with Nix working the ball downfield.<\/p>\n
A 36-yard Wil Lutz field goal gave Denver a four-point cushion before the Eagles\u2019 final possession ended with an unsuccessful hail Mary attempt from quarterback Jalen Hurts as time ran out.<\/p>\n
Denver quarterback Nix saluted a superb Broncos defensive performance after the visitors forced Philadelphia into punting seven times while recording six sacks on Hurts.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just kept stopping them on defense and we just started putting drives together,\u201d Nix said. \u201cOur defense just played incredible. They just kept getting us the ball back no matter what happened, they never wavered, and we just scored when it mattered,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

EARLY SUPER BOWL FAVOURITES HIT NEW LOW<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the Baltimore Ravens\u2019 season lurched from bad to worse with a humiliating 44-10 beatdown at home by the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n
The Ravens, missing a slew of starters including quarterback Lamar Jackson, slumped to 1-4 for the season after an offensive onslaught led by Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud.<\/p>\n
Stroud tossed four touchdowns with 244 passing yards from 23-of-27 attempts as Houston improved to 2-3.<\/p>\n
Nick Chubb, meanwhile, rushed for a 27-yard touchdown that had former NFL defensive end turned CBS broadcaster J.J. Watt declaring the Baltimore defence is \u201cunrecognisable\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has just become an unrecognisable Baltimore Ravens defense from what they used to be,\u201d Watt said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis just isn\u2019t the Baltimore Ravens that we\u2019ve come to know. It doesn\u2019t feel right.\u201d<\/p>\n
The defeat was another brutal loss for Baltimore, who were strongly tipped to challenge for the Super Bowl before the season kicked off.<\/p>\n
Ravens coach John Harbaugh described the team\u2019s mood as \u201ccomplete disappointment\u201d and challenged his organisation to regroup.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re gonna have to find a way to turn it around and figure out who we are this next week,\u201d Harbaugh said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re gonna have more than half the season left and we\u2019re gonna have to find ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
REBORN QUARTERBACKS SLING IT IN HIGH-SCORING THRILLER<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a thrilling game in Seattle saw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers snatch a 38-35 victory over the Seahawks with a field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
A seesaw duel saw Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold throw for four touchdowns and 341 yards but it was not enough against a Tampa Bay side who improved to 4-1 for the season.<\/p>\n
Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield was once again the talisman for the visitors, hitting Sterling Shepard with the game-tying touchdown with just over one minute remaining, before Chase McLaughlin\u2019s 39-yard field goal clinched victory.<\/p>\n

QUARTERBACK CHANGE COMING IN CINCINNATI? <\/p>\n
The Detroit Lions are also standing on 4-1 after bringing up their fourth straight win in a 37-24 defeat of the Cincinnati Bengals. Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw three touchdowns with 258 yards to spark Detroit.<\/p>\n
Jake Browning, who has been filling in for injured Bengals starting quarterback Joe Burrow, had a turnover-prone start to Sunday\u2019s game and while he stuffed the box score with a few late touchdowns in comeback mode, it only increased the pressure on head coach Zac Taylor to make a change.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, after a game like that we\u2019re going to look at all personnel to make sure we are doing the right thing,\u201d Taylor said after the loss. <\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t shy away from that because it\u2019s a very fair question after the amount of turnovers we had. To say that I don\u2019t think Jake can win games for us, I believe Jake can win games for us. I do. We\u2019ll just continue to look at everything we can personnel wise.\u201d<\/p>\n
