Linebacker Jalyx Hunt had two of Philadelphia\u2019s four sacks and a team-leading three quarterback hits.<\/p>\n<p original-article-post=\"\" origination_station=\"WTXF\" data-v-ec26887a=\"\" data-v-6c8e215c=\"\">Dig deeper:<\/p>\n<p data-v-6c8e215c=\"\">Defensive tackle Jalen Carter made a major contribution in his return after missing three games with a injuries to both shoulders. Carter got his hand up to block Michael Badgley\u2019s extra-point attempt after Allen\u2019s 2-yard touchdown run with 5:11 left.<\/p>\n<p data-v-6c8e215c=\"\">Allen scored on a tush push on fourth-and-goal to pull the Bills within one point with 5 seconds remaining. The Bills thought they had a touchdown one play earlier, but Dawson Knox was ruled short of the goal line after a replay review.<\/p>\n<p data-v-6c8e215c=\"\">Rather than playing for overtime, coach Sean McDermott opted to go for 2. Allen dropped back in the pocket and had a defender in his face when he let loose a pass that was about a foot wide of Shakir. The Bills then tried an onside kick that Goedert recovered.<\/p>\n<p data-v-6c8e215c=\"\">The NFC East champion Eagles (11-5) are assured of at least the conference\u2019s third seed entering the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p data-v-6c8e215c=\"\">Buffalo (11-5), which clinched a playoff berth last week, dropped to the No. 7 seed in the AFC. New England clinched its first AFC East title since 2019 with the Bills\u2019 loss.<\/p>\n<p> Injuries <\/p>\n<p data-v-6c8e215c=\"\">Eagles: LB Nakobe Dean (hamstring) did not play.<\/p>\n<p data-v-6c8e215c=\"\">Bills: LB Terrel Bernard did not return after hurting his calf in the first half. &#8230; Defensive tackles DaQuan Jones (calf) and Jordan Phillips (ankle) and safety Jordan Poyer (hamstring) did not play.
