Jordan Howard led Philadelphia with 13 carries for 83 yards while Boston Scott finished with 10 carries for 58 yards. Jalen Hurts — who completed 16 of 23 passes for 178 yards with two touchdowns and an interception — also had 14 carries for 53 yards. Hurts threw just three passes in the second half.
