Daily News | Eagles-Cardinals analysis: Perfect record intact as Cameron Dicker wins in a battle of replacement kickers
With the Cardinals lined up ready to attempt a game-tying field goal, the Eagles coach called a timeout in an attempt to ice Cardinals fill-in kicker Matt Ammendola. Moments earlier, Eagles kicker Cameron Dicker, who was also signed to the practice squad earlier in the week, knocked in the go-ahead score with his 23-yard field goal to give the Eagles a 20-17 advantage.
With their thrilling victory over the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium, the Eagles improved to 5-0, including 3-0 on the road. Philadelphia is the only remaining undefeated team in the league.Last season, Jalen Hurts broke Michael Vick’s single-season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback when he finished with 10 rushing touchdowns. Through five games, Hurts already has six rushing touchdowns, including two Sunday against the Cardinals.
While the drive consisted with mostly run plays, the highlight was Hurts’ completion to Dallas Goedert on third-and-12 from Arizona’s 36-yard line. Right before the snap, Hurts recognized a tell from the defense, and he made an impressive check at the line of scrimmage that dialed up a pass to Goedert down the middle. Hurts faced pressure from multiple defenders on the play, but he stayed poised in the pocket and delivered a 16-yard dart to Goedert, which kept the drive alive.
