Broncos Stun Eagles 21-17 in Philly

The Denver Broncos stunned the previously unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles, winning 21-17 in Philadelphia — their first victory there since 1986. Sean Payton made an analytics-backed call late, going for a go-ahead two-point conversion with 7:36 remaining, which Bo Nix completed to Troy Franklin, and Denver’s defense held the Eagles scoreless on the final drives. The Broncos leaned on a committed, series-by-series running game led by J.K. Dobbins and a more balanced backfield, which sustained drives and helped protect Nix in a hostile environment. Payton defended embattled center Luke Wattenberg despite his multiple penalties this season and framed the performance as part of an aggressive, risk-taking offensive identity. Denver will enter its upcoming London trip buoyed by a signature road win but still faces strategic tests, including defending the Eagles’ short-yardage “Tush Push” package.
