Sorry for the Eagle moneyline bettors, Saquon dropping the pass was the difference between winning and losing. The play call was not good, in the strategic sense, but it was a great play call that should have worked. Perfect pass, wide open, drops ball. The difference between winning the game and converting 3rd and 3 or having to kick a FG and giving the ball back to the Falcons.
This was Cousins 9th 4th Qtr. comeback, which leads the NFL since the 1970 merger. And he looked washed last week.
PHILADELPHIA — Where to begin?
Where to start in an unraveling that befell a team that believed such collapses were behind it?
Where to make sense of a Monday Night Meltdown that blasts the momentum built in Brazil?
There. The Atlanta Falcons are on their own 30. They trail the Philadelphia Eagles by six. They have no timeouts. They have 99 seconds remaining.
Kirk Cousins fires to Kyle Pitts for 11 yards up the middle. Cousins finds Darnell Mooney wide open for 21 yards. Again for 26 more.
What happened to all those seconds? What happened to all those yards? What happened to an Eagles pass rush that was rendered harmless, helpless and held at bay?
Cousins, a 13-year veteran, dismantled in his Week 1 debut, was deadly against such disastrous defense. He stood untouched as he delivered the dagger, the 7-yard touchdown to Drake London along the right pylon.
The Eagles pass rush platoon — Bryce Huff, Josh Sweat, Jalen Carter, Moro Ojomo — trudged to the sideline, all of them slouching, all of them sackless, all of them lacking description for the drive that lost the game.
Falcons 22, Eagles 21.
“That I have no words for,” Sweat later said. “No words.”
