SECOND QUARTER
• K'Von Wallace is in the game at safety for C.J. Gardner-Johnson (UPDATE: Gardner-Johnson returned a short time later). No injury update given yet by the team. The Eagles forced a punt after Haason Reddick tackled running back Dameon Pierce for a short loss before left tackle Laremy Tunsil committed a false start on 3rd-and-6. Davis Mills scrambled for a gain of 8, but was short of the sticks on 3rd-and-11. Eagles will get the ball at their own 20 following the touchback, but better drive for the defense only allowing one first down.
• Jalen Hurts commits his first fumble of the season. After back-to-back passes to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to gain 53 yards, Hurts was blindsided on a corner blitz by former Eagle Steven Nelson. The Texans recovered at their 35.
• No harm, no foul after the turnover. The defense gave up one first down after Mills connected with tight end O.J. Howard on a play-action bootleg for 14 yards, but settled down after that. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave sacked Mills on third down to end the drive.
• The Eagles are taking control. The Eagles garnered their first lead of the game with a 10-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a Kenneth Gainwell 4-yard run up the middle on 3rd-and-goal. Gainwell originally lined up wide to the left, motioned into the backfield, and took the handoff, running to paydirt. Sanders opened the drive with back-to-back explosive runs that netted 38 yards. The Eagles kept the Texans off balance with the screen game – first a tight end screen to Dallas Goedert on the right side for 15 yards, then a wide receiver screen to Zach Pascal for 8 yards on the left side. Hurts converted the other third down on the drive on a play where it looked like it would be a QB sneak, but Hurts took the snap and ran to the left instead. It's 14-7 with 4:32 left in the first half.
• Well, the Texans aren't going quietly into the night. The Texans answered the Eagles' drive with a seven-play, 75-yard drive fueled by rookie running back Dameon Pierce, whose hard running style is giving the defense fits. His 36-yard run got the Texans into Eagles territory. Davis Mills finished off the drive with an athletic play, rolling to his right and firing the ball to wide receiver Chris Moore for a 13-yard touchdown with 37 seconds left in the half. Pierce has 88 yards on 13 carries in the first two quarters.
• The Eagles have been prolific in the second quarter of games this season, so 37 seconds was plenty to get in scoring range. Jalen Hurts hit Dallas Goedert on a corner route in zone coverage 21 yards. Hurts scrambled for 7 yards to set up Jake Elliott for a 54-yard attempt but the kicker missed wide right.
• It's 14-14 at halftime but the Eagles will receive the ball to start the second half.
