Find out how tonight's game unfolded:

First Quarter

TOUCHDOWN! Jalen Hurts tied a franchise record for most rushing touchdowns (13) by a quarterback in a single season, a record he set last season. The quarterback draw play worked to perfection as Hurts scrambled to his left for a 3-yard score on third-and-goal. Big third-down completions to Dallas Goedert and A.J. Brown kept the 15-play, 8:29 drive alive. Jake Elliott converted the extra point! (Eagles 7 - Seahawks 0)

The Eagles' defense forced a punt to end the half, the second Seahawks punt of the game. A false start penalty on third-and-1 at the Seattle 48-yard line pushed the hosts back. Drew Lock then threw an incompletion on the right sideline.

FIELD GOAL! Elliott connected on a 27-yard field goal to extend the lead. A false start on Jason Kelce on third-and-1 from the Seattle 3-yard line pushed the Eagles back. On third-and-6, D'Andre Swift, who had multiple strong runs on the drive, was stopped at the line of scrimmage. (Eagles 10 - Seahawks 0) The Seahawks got on the board with a 26-yard field goal by Jason Myers. A big stop on third-and-6 by Reed Blankenship got the Eagles' defense off the field. (Eagles 10 - Seahawks 3)

Third Quarter

The Seahawks ran all over the Eagles' defense as they marched down the field for an opening-drive touchdown. Kenneth Walker capped off the drive with a 23-yard rushing score. Walker had 54 total yards, helping the Seahawks tie the game. (Eagles 10 - Seahawks 10) TOUCHDOWN! QB1 did it again! Hurts set a franchise record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a season (14). After a big run by Swift on first-and-goal, Hurts powered his way across the goal line on the Brotherly Shove. With that touchdown, Hurts tied Cam Newton's NFL single-season quarterback rushing touchdown record (14 in 2011). A great answer from the Eagles' offense was aided by big third-down catches from Brown and DeVonta Smith. (Eagles 17 - Seahawks 10)

SACK! The veterans combined for the first Eagles sack of the game! Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox took down Lock on third down, forcing a punt. Later in the game, the scorekeepers awarded Cox with a solo sack.

Fourth Quarter

SACK! Jalen Carter flew through the gap and took down Lock for a loss of 7 yards on third down! The original call was an incomplete pass, but after review, Lock's knee was down before he got the ball out of his right hand. The Seahawks were forced to settle for a field goal following Carter's sack. Myers connected for the second time tonight, a kick from 43 yards out. (Eagles 17 - Seahawks 13) After two big completions, Hurts threw his 11th interception of the season. The quarterback was targeting Quez Watkins downfield but Julian Love was there to take it away from the receiver. The Seahawks took over at their own 20-yard line. The defense forced a three-and-out following the interception. Eli Ricks forced an incomplete pass from Lock on third-and-5. With 28 seconds left in the game, Lock found Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 29-yard touchdown. The Seahawks drove 92 yards down the field in 1:24 to take the lead. (Seahawks 20 - Eagles 17) Hurts threw an interception to end the game. Love took it away from Brown to seal the comeback win for the home team.
