First down, run all the time out, boot your chip shot to win.
Defense had stepped on their dicks all night. Up 8, it took Hurts just over 2 minutes to score 8 points and tie.
Not giving the Eagles the ball with about a minute 40 and a timeout so Spags could trot his vaunted prevent defense out there.
The final 5 minutes of the game was executed to perfection.

Agreed. The eagles likely would have scored again with nearly 2 minutes to play. And we pretty much know Hurts would have punched in another "sneak" from the 2 to tie the game.
