Philadelphia Eagles are robbed of their first win by Doug Pederson

Everything was there for the taking for the Philadelphia Eagles in overtime. Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox came up with some huge sacks during the Cincinnati Bengals’ final overtime drive. The latter forced Cincy to make a decision on fourth and long from inside their own ten-yard line with 1:49 to play.

As you might have imagined, the Bengals elected to punt. The next thing you know, Philly was set up with a first down near mid-field with what should have been an eternity for an NFL offense with an above-average quarterback.

Somehow, Philly’s final drive of Week 3 ended with a punt on fourth down following a series that was highlighted by Matt Pryor short-circuiting everything as he was flagged for a false start as the Eagles lined up for a potential game-winning field goal by Jake Elliott from their own 41-yard line.
