Hurts and the Eagles offense then went cold until early in the 4th quarter as they fell behind 23-14. Early in the fourth quarter, Hurts found Devonta Smith for an 11-yard score to cut the lead to 23-21. However, the late comeback effort fell short as the Commanders added a field goal, and a fumble recovery touchdown on the game's final play.Â
