Saquon Barkley rushed for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, helping the Philadelphia Eagles secure a slim 15-12 victory over the New Orleans Saints. He scored on runs of 65 and 4 yards, prominently featuring in a comeback that broke the Eagles' two-game slump.
Dallas Goedert had a standout game with a career-high 170 receiving yards on 10 catches, including a crucial 61-yard reception during the final quarter. Meanwhile, Eagles' defense made a significant impact with Reed Blankenship sealing the victory through an interception.
Despite a promising performance from the Eagles overall, quarterback Jalen Hurts struggled with turnovers, including an interception in the end zone and a fumble that stalled potential scoring opportunities during the first half.
