Yeah...
but my questions is a different one.
If drew completed a 20 yard pass that was called back for holding...
that will add an additional 10 yards to the drive, therefore the 117 yards would included the additional 10 yards required to get the first down but it wouldn’t include the 20 yard pass..
I understand why.
I was just curious how many yards was gained total taking penalties out of the equation (which you can’t) in other words if there were 21 plays on the drive what was the total net yards gained on the drive. (All the positive yards totaled)

We started on the 8 and had 3 penalties against us. Philly had one against them (don't remember what it was or how many yards).
Only the Philly penalty counts as yardage gained on the drive. Our penalties just reset the LOS, thus how we were able to gain an additional 25 yards. I know there were at least two holds that counts for 20 yards of the LOS being reset. Don't recall the other two penalties.
But if you are asking penalties aside how many yards did we gain it's 92. We went from the 8 to the end zone.
Edit:
Just read that the Philly penalty was 5 yards, so taking that out the offense gained 112 yards (counting the penalties on us that reset the LOS).

One of the most amazing drives I've seen. And one downvote for the OP...Eagles Fan?

just checked out the drive on the play-by-play, here are the stats
87 yards gained on the filed
5 yards gained on penalties from Eagles (Holding on incomplete pass)
46 yard TD nullified by holding on Peat (I believe this was the play where he was bull rushed and pulled Cox down as he fell)
3 yard gain nullified by holding on Unger (BS call where the defender dove to the ground)
False start on Peat, no play
I believe that would be 141 yards of offense, and a 5 yard penalty for 146 total yards on the play.
