The San Francisco 49ers stopped its three-game losing streak, clawing back from an 11-point deficit in the half to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 26-21.
The Eagles were clearly struggling this game. Quarterback Nick Foles had a lackluster performance for the game, missing open receivers and making bad decisions.

A report from NBC Sports indicated that Foles looked like he did not know what he was doing on the field.
He completed only 21 of his 43 passes for a total of 195 yards. He was not able to throw any touchdowns that game and threw two interceptions.
Despite Foles' uninspired performance, the Eagles still managed to get lead after the first half.
Their first point came when Brad Smith recovered a blocked punt in the end zone. Malcolm Jenkins intercepted a pass from Colin Kaepernick in the opening minutes of the second quarter and running 53 yards for a touchdown.
The final points of the Eagles came from Darren Sproles with a 82-yard punt return touchdown.
However, the Eagles were not able to bring out their game-winning performances in the second half, as was the pattern in their previous games.
49ers Running Back Frank Gore caught a career-best 55-yard touchdown in the second. He would run a total of 119 yards this game, his first 100-yard game in 2014. He was also the leading rusher in the game.
Kaepernick was the second best rusher, with 58 yards. He only completed 17 out of 30 though, but passed for 218 yards, getting two touchdowns and one interception.
The second half was all 49ers, with a touchdown pass to Stevie Johnson, and a couple of field goals to seal the win by Phil Dawson.
This was the first loss of the Eagles for this season.
