Saquon Barkley scored a pair of touchdown 20 seconds apart and the defense smothered Washington rookie quarerback Jayden Daniels.
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles defense once again flexed its might, making Jayden Daniels look pedestrian, and Saquon Barkley scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns just 20 seconds apart as the Eagles beat the Washington Commanders, 26-18, to take control of the NFC East.
The Eagles overcame a lot of adversity in this game, including quarterback Jalen Hurts having to clear a concussion test at halftime. Hurts was 18-for-28 with 221 yards and a passer rating of 88.5. He ran for one touchdown and now has 11 of those this season. He threw more than 25 passes for the first time during this winning streak.
Safety Reed Blankenship gave the Eagles the ball right back with an interception. It was his team-high third pick of the season and just the third interception thrown by Daniels this season. Blankenship also made 10 tackles. Daniels finished 22-for-32 with 191 yards, and a cosmetic touchdown throw with 28 seconds left to Zach Ertz. His passer rating was 81.6. He had just 18 yards on 17 carries and the Eagles sacked him three times, with Brandon Graham, Nolan Smith and Josh Sweat getting them. It was Sweat’s team-leading sixth sack of the season.
