Andy Dalton, the backup quarterback, entered the game with Philadelphia in a scoring position, as the Eagles faced a critical red-zone drive without their starting quarterback. Jackson's hit on Hurts left him momentarily on the ground, leading to an immediate concussion check. Hurts initially attempted to rejoin the huddle but was subsequently evaluated for a concussion according to the NFL’s protocol. Despite being sidelined, Philadelphia's offense managed to reach the Chicago 1-yard line, where Dalton’s pass was intercepted by Bears rookie safety Dillon Thieneman, who made history by recording the first NFL interception of his career. The turnover highlighted the significance of Hurts' absence, as Philadelphia needed to quickly finish an important drive before halftime.
