Cameron Johnston, the Eagles' punter, is normally the holder for kicker Jake Elliott, but he left the game in the first half with a head injury after a blocked punt by Arizona.

Arizona took its 33-26 lead with 7:17 left in the fourth quarter on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Murray to DeAndre Hopkins, culminating a seven-play, 86-yard drive.

On fourth-and-21 at the Arizona 22 with 1:50 left, Hurts' pass to Dallas Goedert was knocked down by safety Chris Banjo. The Eagles turned the ball over on downs after a 13-play possession.

After Arizona was forced to punt with 1:35 seconds left, Hurts drove Philadelphia to the Arizona 31 before his pass into the end zone was knocked down as time expired.

Philadelphia rallied after trailing 16-0 with 2:23 left in the first quarter following a safety and a touchdown run and scoring pass by Murray.

Murray's 6-yard touchdown pass occurred two plays after Arizona's Ezekiel Turner blocked the punt by Johnston.
