The Eagles struck first Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, as Jalen Hurts rushed up the middle via the Tush Push from a yard out to give the Birds a 7-0 lead with one minute and six seconds left in the first quarter.

The Hurts plunge capped a 10-play, 73-yard drive, after the teams had played to an almost scoreless quarter. The scoring drive was extended by a encroachment penalty by the Bills against an earlier Tush Push-look from the Eagles.
