Jalen Hurts turned a broken fourth-quarter play into a 29-yard touchdown to Olamide Zaccheaus, helping lift Philadelphia past Buffalo 37-34 in overtime on November 26, 2023. (nfl.com) The play came on third-and-15 with the Eagles trailing the Bills before Hurts rolled left, reset and found Zaccheaus in the back of the end zone for a go-ahead score. (sports.yahoo.com) Philadelphia still needed more after that catch. Buffalo forced overtime, and Hurts finished the game with five total touchdowns — three passing and two rushing — including a 12-yard winning run with 2:37 left in the extra period. (espn.com) The win pushed the Eagles to 10-1, making them the first National Football League team to reach double-digit wins that season. Philadelphia also erased a 17-7 halftime deficit after fans booed the home team off the field at the break. (philadelphiaeagles.com) Zaccheaus was not one of Philadelphia’s headline targets that year. His touchdown against Buffalo became one of the signature catches of the Eagles’ 2023 regular season because it flipped the lead late against a contender in a rain-soaked game at Lincoln Financial Field. (nfl.com) (buffalobills.com) Hurts’ full line showed how much of the comeback ran through him: 18 completions on 31 attempts for 200 yards, one interception, 65 rushing yards and five scores. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen accounted for 393 total yards and four touchdowns in the loss. (nfl.com) (espn.com) The clip has resurfaced in recent social posts, but the game itself was played on a Sunday, not a Saturday. The touchdown is the same fourth-quarter throw that National Football League highlight packages labeled a “can’t-miss play” after the game. (nfl.com) (philadelphiaeagles.com) What endures is the sequence: third-and-long, Hurts escaping left, Zaccheaus elevating through contact, and Philadelphia moving one step closer to the top seed race in the National Football Conference.
