4. The fourth quarter belongs to the Eagles again

Philadelphia entered the game averaging 8.9 points per game in the fourth quarter, making it the second-best team (behind the Colts) in the NFL, with a league-best +49 in fourth quarter point differential. Philadelphia outscored the Ravens 10-7 in the fourth quarter on Sunday, and in games that are so close, that tough finish makes a big difference.

5. The Red Zone: Huge for the Eagles

Baltimore led the NFL with a touchdown percentage of 79 early in the game, but the Eagles clearly won the red zone. Philadelphia scored touchdowns on two of its three red zone possessions (a late field goal by Jake Elliott came from the red zone), while the defense held Baltimore to one touchdown on four red zone outings before a last-minute desperation touchdown came . Great, great job by the defense.

6. Special teams also helped

Elliott was perfect on his three PAT attempts and his 35-yard field goal, while Justin Tucker continued his years of struggles. He missed a PAT and two field goal attempts, points that clearly would have made the game much, much more exciting. The Eagles were also outstanding in kick coverage, easily winning the hidden yardage game. Mann averaged 51.2 yards per punt and dropped five of his six punts inside the 20-yard line.

7. Victory goes to the coaching staff

Great adjustments from the coaching team after a very difficult start. The Eagles were down 9-0 early in the second quarter and things weren’t looking good at all. But the defense fought back, winning the physical game, squeezing Jackson and his legs and making Henry a non-factor. The offense remained patient in a difficult environment. No giveaways. Everyone concentrates. The running game produced 141 yards on 32 carries. Wide receiver AJ Brown was a big factor with five receptions and 66 yards on six targets. Goedert was a weapon, catching three passes for 35 yards and scoring four times. The Eagles didn’t have DeVonta Smith and were without their star receiver. The offensive line did its job. This was a stunning win, the best of the season against the best opponent the Eagles have faced to date.
