Eagles rally past Colts on MNF

Nick Foles threw a tying touchdown pass with 3:25 to go, and then set up Cody Parkey for the winning 36-yard field goal as time expired, lifting Philadelphia to a 30-27 win at Indianapolis on Monday night.

Darren Sproles had seven receptions for 152 yards to go along with a touchdown run as the Eagles (2-0) won their first game on the road for the sixth consecutive season.

Indianapolis (0-2) has lost consecutive regular-season games for the first time since Andrew Luck and coach Chuck Pagano arrived in 2012.

The Colts led most of the night, including 27-20 late in the game.

But Luck’s late interception led to Foles’ tying 6-yard TD pass to Jeremy Maclin, and after another three-and-out by the Colts, Foles drove the Eagles into position for the winning field goal.

“We felt we had some plays [in the first half], we just couldn’t make them,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. “But we’re going to play 60 minutes and we played 60 minutes.”

The Eagles’ potent offense started slow, managing just two field goals in the first half and failing to score a touchdown before LeSean McCoy’s 1-yard run with 4:32 left in the third quarter.
