The pivotal plays from the Eagles' late rally over the Saints

The Saints took a 12-7 lead with just over two minutes left after a missed Jake Elliott field goal attempt and a drive that ended on a loft from Derek Carr to an uncovered Chris Olave coasting toward the left side of the end zone.

That could've been it for the Eagles. No one would've batted an eye, but would've been furious going into the next day across the Delaware Valley.

But then Goedert took off across the middle of the field on a New Orleans miscommunication for 61 yards, and the Eagles put the ball in Barkley's hand for the score and the two-point conversion for the sudden lead change, 15-12.

It was enough after a Reed Blankenship interception iced it.

Not to leave anyone breathing easy turning the page to Tampa Bay next week, but enough to get by for now and get out of New Orleans 2-2.

Wreckless turnovers

The concerns are still very much there though.

The Eagles were finally in business

Jalen Hurts, with a clean pocket, hit Goedert for a big 43-yard pass over top to bring the offense down into the red zone while trailing, 3-0. This was their chance.

Then, after a Hurts keep that went nowhere and a Barkley check for a couple of yards to make it third and long from the Saints' 11, the Eagles lined up and Hurts committed on a shot at the end zone where DeVonta Smith tried to cut and power his way across the middle.

Tyran Mathieu saw it the entire way.

The veteran safety bumped in front of Smith on the route and made the pick, and the Eagles' momentum was halted right there, and Hurts was up to his fourth interception on a still very young season.

The Eagles' defense, which made an impressive turnaround on Sunday, bailed that early mistake out with a 3 and out, and the offense started marching down toward New Orleans territory again.

But then on a 2nd and 10, Hurts dropped back and waited too long for something downfield. Lane Johnson blocked his assignment toward the outside, but couldn't push defensive end Carl Granderson coming back around and Hurts couldn't sense it in time with pressure also cracking down in front of him. He took off scrambling to his left, but Granderson tripped him up and the ball slipped right out of his hand. Fumble, Saints recover, and another offensive series brought to a screeching halt.

A lot was made about how improved Hurts' decision-making and ball security looked in training camp, how he hadn't thrown an interception until the very last day.
