After a dramatic Game 3 comeback, the game boiled down to an intense 11th inning. Unfortunately, a moment of despair struck as they lost the game, crushing their postseason hopes.
Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles, last season’s Super Bowl champions, were set to play an important divisional match against the New York Giants. Despite entering the game with a strong record, they fell to a rookie quarterback leading a struggling Giants team.
