Broncos dominate fourth quarter and end Philadelphia's undefeated NFL streak

The Denver Broncos (3-2) scored 18 unanswered points in the fourth period to secure a 21-17 victory over the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles (4-1) on Sunday in the regular-season NFL game. Bo Nix led the charge with a one-touchdown, 242-yard performance

Nix, who was selected in the 2024 draft and is playing his second season in the NFL, completed 24 of 39 passes in one of the biggest wins of his career in ending Philadelphia's undefeated streak.

After trading field goals in the first half, Philadelphia took a 14-point lead with touchdowns from Dallas Goedert and Saquon Barkley.

Barkley, 28 and the 2024 Offensive Player of the Year winner, added his fourth touchdown of the season. 

The Broncos' victory was built from a collective effort, first with a two-yard touchdown run on the ground game by J.K. Dobbins, then an 11-yard reception by Evan Engram and finally a 36-yard field goal by Will Lutz.

All of this came while the Broncos' defense held Jalen Hurts in check, as he completed 23 of 38 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns.

The Jets suffered their fifth straight loss in a game where they trailed by as many as 27 points late in the third quarter.

The Miami Dolphins squandered a 17-point lead and fell 27-24 to the Carolina Panthers, who won their second straight home game.
