Denver Broncos End Philadelphia Eagles' Unbeaten NFL Season 21-17

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their first loss of the 2025 season in a 21-17 home defeat to the Denver Broncos, ending a dominant streak of 20 wins in 21 games. Despite leading 17-3 early in the fourth quarter, the Eagles' offense faltered, with poor execution and lack of balance, notably limiting star running back Saquon Barkley to just one carry in the second half. The Broncos, led by quarterback Bo Nix's efficient fourth-quarter performance, scored 18 unanswered points, including a critical two-point conversion and a game-winning field goal, capitalizing on Eagles' penalties and defensive breakdowns. Denver's defense pressured Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, sacking him six times and forcing seven punts, while the Eagles' offense managed only one first down over their final five drives. The loss highlighted ongoing offensive struggles for Philadelphia, where the run game remains a significant concern. Denver coach Sean Payton celebrated his 173rd NFL win, passing Bill Parcells, marking a milestone secured by this upset victory against the Super Bowl champions.
