Jalen Hurts was just the third rookie quarterback since 1950 to throw for 330-plus passing yards and 60-plus rushing yards in a game with 4-plus touchdowns -- but his Hail Mary attempt fell just short of Travis Fulgham's hands as the Philadelphia Eagles' comeback attempt against the Arizona Cardinals ended on the game's final play.
Arizona held on to beat Philadelphia and kept the final playoff spot in the NFC playoffs for now, remaining one game ahead of the Chicago Bears with two games to play. The Eagles remain 1.5 games back of Washington with two games left, as a loss next week to Dallas will eliminate them from the playoffs.
The Cardinals received another excellent performance from Kyler Murray, as he finished 27 of 36 for 406 yards with three touchdowns and an interception while also rushing for 29 yards and a score. Murray's 20-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins with 7:17 left in the game gave the Cardinals the lead for good. Hopkins finished with nine catches for 169 yards and a score -- leading 10 Arizona receivers who caught a pass. The Cardinals scored just once in the second half, but that was all they needed to hold off the Eagles after going up 16-0 to start the game.
Hurts rallied the Eagles back from the 16-point deficit to tie the game at 26-26. The Eagles had a chance to take the lead on an extra point attempt after Hurts ran for a 7-yard score in the third quarter, but Philadelphia lost punter/holder Cameron Johnston with a head injury -- which caused tight end Zach Ertz to be the holder. Ertz bobbled the low snap, which caused Jake Elliott to miss the extra point attempt to give the Eagles the lead. The Eagles had Elliott punt twice in the absence of Johnson.
Hurts finished 24 of 44 for 338 yards with three touchdowns while rushing for 63 yards and a touchdown. Ertz led the Eagles with two catches for 69 yards.
