Eagles suffer first 2025 loss to Broncos after fourth-quarter collapse

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their first loss of the 2025 NFL season against the Denver Broncos, falling 21-17 after leading comfortably 17-3 entering the fourth quarter. Quarterback Jalen Hurts attributed the loss to a "lack of execution," highlighting a collapse in performance during the final quarter when the Broncos outscored the Eagles 18-0. Hurts completed 23 of 38 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns, but the Eagles' offense became unproductive in the fourth quarter, posting negative yardage on their first two drives and failing to deliver a decisive score. The Eagles heavily relied on the passing game, with only six carries for running back Saquon Barkley, which limited their offensive balance. Despite the defeat, Philadelphia remains a Super Bowl contender and looks to rebound in their upcoming game against the New York Giants. Hurts' season highs in completions, attempts, and passing yards underscore his strong individual performance amid the team's struggle to close out the game.
