Eagles get their groove back in beating Dolphins with signature toughness and aggression

New York Times  

PHILADELPHIA — Clinging to a one-touchdown lead with about 10 minutes left in Sunday’s game, but facing fourth-and-1 from his own 26-yard line, Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni sent his punt team onto the field. The Eagles about a minute earlier had snuffed out a potentially game-tying Miami Dolphins scoring opportunity when cornerback Darius Slay intercepted quarterback Tua Tagovailoa at the 1-yard line. Just like that— a week after a stunning loss to the New York Jets in a performance marred by self-inflicted wounds and missed opportunities — the Eagles got their groove back. A strong defensive showing forced a Miami punt, but a sack-fumble deep in Eagles territory gave the Dolphins the ball right back, and eventually led to a tie.
