Jalen Hurts saves Eagles from ugly upset as Philadelphia escapes Titans to remain unbeaten

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Tennessee Titans 24-20 after a late touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts. Despite early struggles and an injury to Saquon Barkley, the Eagles maintained their unbeaten record.
Why it matters
The win keeps the Eagles undefeated early in the NFL season and demonstrates their ability to overcome adversity in close games.
The Philadelphia Eagles moved to 2-0 with a win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon in Nashville. That's a sentence most football fans expected to read before the game even started. What most probably didn't expect was exactly what it took for the Eagles to go into Nissan Stadium and beat the Titans. Jalen Hurts connected with Darius Cooper for a 3-yard touchdown with less than 10 seconds remaining to turn a 20-17 Tennessee lead into a 24-20 Philadelphia victory. The Titans, who looked completely lost last week in a 23-10 loss to the New York Jets, had the reigning NFC East champions on the ropes for much of the afternoon. Philadelphia's problems started immediately. Star running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger on the Eagles' first offensive play and spent most of the first half on the sideline.
