The Eagles beat the Bills 13-12 at Highmark Stadium on December 28, 2025, surviving on a Josh Allen pass that sailed a foot wide of Khalil Shakir with five seconds left. Philadelphia scored all 13 points in the first half. Buffalo scored all 12 in the fourth quarter. Jalen Carter blocked the extra point after Allen’s first touchdown run, and Allen’s two-point conversion pass fell incomplete, ending the Bills’ comeback one play short.

Game Notes
Allen’s two fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns brought his career total to 301 (passing, rushing, and receiving combined), making him the first player in NFL history to reach 300 before his 30th birthday. The Bills ran the ball 33 times for 120 yards and held the ball for 35:15, yet finished with 12 points after Carter’s PAT block and the failed two-point try. Goedert’s touchdown was his 11th receiving score of the season, a single-season Eagles record for a tight end, surpassing Pete Retzlaff’s 10 in 1965. Brandin Cooks finished with 101 yards on four catches, a 2025 season high. Philadelphia’s defense put up five sacks, and Buffalo finished 2-of-3 in the red zone with both scores coming in the fourth quarter.
The loss dropped Buffalo to the No. 7 seed in the AFC. Philadelphia finished 11-5 as NFC East champions and held at least the No. 3 seed in the NFC. The Eagles improved to 7-3 in one-score games on the season.
