The three-win Arizona Cardinals absolutely stunned the Philadelphia Eagles on the road, as James Conner scored the game-winning touchdown with just seconds left in the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon. 

The Cardinals, coached by former Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, are not in the NFC playoff picture. But the 35-31 win had a huge effect on seeding, as the San Francisco 49ers now have the No. 1 seed locked up because of the Eagles’ loss and their own win over the Washington Commanders. 

The Eagles are still in the running for the No. 2 seed, but the Dallas Cowboys, who defeated the Detroit Lions on Saturday night, have a chance to win the NFC East to claim that seed next week.

Arizona was down 21-6 when the second half began, but Kyler Murray got the drive he needed from his offense right away. 

They went 10 plays and 75 yards downfield, where running back Michael Carter caught a pass and barreled his way into the end zone to cut into the Philly lead. 

Then, after getting a quick three-and-out from Jalen Hurts & Co., Murray led yet another touchdown drive. This time it was Conner catching a short pass from Murray for a five-yard score and there was a successful two-point conversion to tie the game at 21 apiece.
