In the 4th quarter, the Eagles started to calm down since they knew they had secured the win. They made a 48-yard field goal, and then a 50-yard field goal. In the last two minutes, DeAndre Hopkins scored a 7-yard pass touchdown. Then came a 50-yard touchdown from Xavier Worthy. The game ended 40-22 Eagles.
