US EditionEagles Outlast Josh Allen and Bills in Rainy Win, Keep NFC’s No. 2 Seed in Play
The Eagles' defense pressured Bills QB Josh Allen into critical errors including a fumble recovery and five sacks to secure a narrow 13-12 victory.
- On Dec. 28, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Buffalo Bills 13-12 at Highmark Stadium as Dallas Goedert, Eagles tight end, recovered the onside kick with four seconds left.
- Late in the fourth, Buffalo Bills rallied by scoring twice on consecutive Josh Allen Tush Pushes, while the Philadelphia Eagles produced just 17 yards and punted on all five second-half possessions.
- Sacks and turnovers were decisive in the closing minutes as Philadelphia defense sacked Josh Allen five times, Jaelan Phillips forced a fumble recovered by Jihaad Campbell, and Zack Baun stopped Allen short on fourth down.
- The win pushed the Eagles to 11-5 and preserved seeding hopes, but Philadelphia still needs a home win over the Washington Commanders and a Bears loss to reach the No. 2 seed, while Nick Sirianni plans to keep starters playing.
- After the game, injuries and league reviews became focal points as A.J. Brown was injured by a poke to the eye and Josh Allen had X-rays, while the NFL review process could punish Jalen Carter next week.
