Eagles' worst play
Center Jason Kelce's shotgun snap sailed over Hurts' head and rolled into the end zone in the second quarter. Hurts tried to recover the fumble, but missed. Carolina missed an opportunity to recover it for a touchdown, but the ball squirted out of the back of the end zone for a Panthers' safety.

Turning point
The Panthers led 18-13 when Eagles linebacker T.J. Edwards stormed through and blocked a punt deep in Panthers territory. Hurts scored his second rushing TD on a 6-yard keeper, then scrambled and hit wide receiver DeVonta Smith for a two-point conversion that gave the Eagles their first lead of the game at 21-18 with 2:38 left in regulation.
