There was a moment in the first half when it looked like the Eagles might be about to make a game of it with the New Orleans Saints.
After a miserable start that put them in a 17-0 hole — gaining just 15 net yards on its first three drives — Philadelphia responded by putting together its first touchdown drive of the game and following that up by forcing a Saints three and out. They took the ball back and started marching downfield against the New Orleans defense.
