The Atlanta Falcons stunned the Philadelphia Eagles with a 22-21 victory on Monday Night Football. The Eagles had a 96% chance to win after a field goal late in the game, but a crucial drop by Saquon Barkley and a controversial third-down pass call by Coach Nick Sirianni allowed the Falcons to stage a comeback. Jalen Hurts' interception on a deep pass intended for DeVonta Smith sealed the Eagles' fate. The Falcons' improbable win, with just a 0.7% chance of victory with 1:56 left, is one of the most unexpected comebacks in recent NFL history. Darius Slay praised Falcons' Drake London for the game-winning route, and the Falcons' locker room erupted in celebration when Raheem Morris walked in.
