• Three-and-out for the Eagles’ defense! On 3rd down, Fletcher Cox and Haason Reddick executed a stunt to flush Tannehill out of the pocket to his left. When Tannehill reset to throw, Cox was there to wrap him up for the sack.
• Britain Covey gives the Eagles great field position with a career-high 20-yard return to the Eagles’ 43.
• On the first play of the offense’s drive, defensive end Mario Edwards was called for unnecessary roughness after landing on Hurts’ head. However, Andre Dillard had to go in for Landon Dickerson at left guard.
• Injury Update: Fulton suffered a groin injury on the Brown TD catch. His return is questionable.
• Continuing the offense’s drive, Hurts appeared to have gained a first down on a 3rd-and-4 run to the left side for a gain of 5 yards, but center Jason Kelce was called for holding. On 3rd-and-14, linebacker Bud Dupree was called for roughing the passer on Hurts to extend the drive. Dickerson returned to the game at left guard. Three plays later, Hurts was not careful with the ball while trying to buy time and it was stripped by Dupree. Tackle Jordan Mailata was there to recover, but instead of being in potential field goal range, the Eagles had to punt.
• Who would have thought that Tannehill would be the Titans’ most dangerous runner? He scrambled for 9 yards and a first down. Cornerback James Bradberry will be kicking himself as he nearly had a pick-six. He jumped a screen pass intended for tight end Chik Okwonkwo. The Titans converted the 3rd-and-5 with a pass to tight end Austin Hooper with cornerback Zech McPhearson on the field in a dime package. On the next play, Tannehill, on play-action, hit Okonkwo over the middle – Epps missed a tackle – and the tight end gained 41 yards to the Eagles’ 17-yard line. On 3rd-and-6, Josh Sweat sacked Tannehill to hold the Titans to a 36-yard field goal. It’s 14-10, Eagles, with 3:28 left in the half.
• Key injury to watch for the Titans – linebacker David Long is questionable to return for the Titans with a hamstring injury.
• After the 2-minute warning, Gainwell makes back-to-back plays – one rush, one reception – for 23 yards. Then, Brown – after going deep on a scramble drill – drew a pass interference penalty on Tre Avery to get the ball to the 6-yard line. Two plays later, Hurts outraces the defense to the right side for the 2-yard touchdown. It’s 21-10 with 51 seconds left in the half.
• The Titans have not allowed more than 20 points in a game since Week 3. The Eagles have 21 in the first half.
• Eagles force a quick three-and-out. Reed Blankenship had a pass breakup and a third-down tackle. Blankenship is starting for the first time in his career with C.J. Gardner-Johnson injured. Eagles have the ball at their own 26 with 26 seconds left and two timeouts.
• The first half ended with Hurts dumping the ball off to Smtih, who had a caravan and gained 34 yards to the Titans’ 17-yard line before he was stopped. Titans get the ball to open the second half.
