The Eagles used Smith's motion here, added the switch release, and watched the secondary lose Darius Cooper completely. This was not a miraculous individual play. The Eagles identified an opponent-specific weakness and forced the Titans to communicate with the game on the line.

Cooper's game-winning TD exploited Titans' motion-coverage communication breakdown.

Scored the game-winning touchdown on a play that exemplified the Eagles' schematic advantage against the Titans. Cooper benefited from a secondary communication breakdown when the Eagles used Smith's motion, added a switch release, and exploited Tennessee's coverage error. This was not an individual miracle play but rather the Eagles identifying an opponent-specific weakness (Titans' communication issues with motion and late shifts from Week 1 film) and forcing the Titans to communicate with the game on the line. Shipley's blitz pickup gave Hurts time for the coverage bust to develop.
