Josh Allen had the Buffalo Bills one completion from a comeback. Rolling left with five seconds remaining, he released a two-point conversion pass toward Khalil Shakir in the back of the end zone and missed him by a foot. The Philadelphia Eagles held on, 13–12, at Highmark Stadium on December 28, 2025 — outgained by 141 yards, out-possessed by more than ten minutes, and still standing when it mattered. Below is the full box score, player stats, and team statistics from a Week 17 game that turned on a single incomplete pass.

Key Numbers
Allen — 301 career touchdowns. His two rushing scores on December 28, 2025 pushed his career total to 301 combined touchdowns (passing, rushing, receiving), making him the first player in NFL history to reach 300 before turning 30. He had X-rays on a sore right foot after the game; results were negative.
Goedert — Eagles TE touchdown record. His first-quarter reception for the game’s opening score was Goedert’s 11th receiving touchdown of the 2025 season, setting the Eagles’ single-season record for a tight end and surpassing Hall of Famer Pete Retzlaff’s 10 from 1965.
Carter — first game back, immediate impact. Playing his first game after missing three weeks with bilateral shoulder injuries, Jalen Carter blocked Badgley’s extra-point attempt and added a sack. The blocked PAT proved to be a two-point swing in a one-point game.
Hunt — the pressure that ended it. Jalyx Hunt led Philadelphia with 2.0 sacks, 3 quarterback hits, and 2 tackles for loss. He was also the defender closing on Allen during the failed two-point attempt.
Philadelphia’s defense absorbed everything. The Eagles were outgained 331–190, converted 3-of-13 third downs, and punted on all five second-half possessions. The Bills had possession for 35:15 and still lost because Philadelphia’s defense held on four of Buffalo’s five fourth-quarter drives, sacked Allen five times for 51 yards, and forced a fumble.
With the win, Philadelphia clinched the NFC East title at 11–5 and secured at least the conference’s No. 3 playoff seed. Buffalo, also 11–5, dropped to the No. 7 seed in the AFC — a two-spot fall with significant postseason implications. New England clinched the AFC East division title as a direct result of the Bills’ loss, their first division crown since 2019. Allen finished his afternoon with 262 passing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and a record that will hold regardless of the final score — but in a season where every seeding point carries weight, one overthrown ball decided everything.
