Drake London’s touchdown with 38 seconds remaining levelled the match at 21-21, with Younghoe Koo kicking the extra point.<\/p>\n

Having started the final quarter 15-10 ahead, the Falcons surrendered a five-point penalty to the Eagles, who scored 11 unanswered points before London’s late touchdown.<\/p>\n

Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw two touchdowns, including a 41-yard pass for Darnell Mooney at the start of the third quarter. Mooney scored by running and performing a front flip with the ball in hand on his way into the end zone.<\/p>\n

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a hand in both of their touchdowns, throwing the opener for DeVonta Smith before rushing one himself midway through the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
