Eagles Beat Commanders 26-18 to Extend Division Lead

Saquon Barkley delivered a standout performance for the Philadelphia Eagles, rushing for 146 yards and scoring two crucial fourth-quarter touchdowns, leading to a 26-18 victory over the Washington Commanders. This win marks the Eagles' sixth consecutive victory, improving their record to 8-2 and solidifying their lead in the NFC East. Jalen Hurts, despite a concussion scare, contributed significantly with 221 passing yards, including a go-ahead touchdown run. The Eagles' defense also played a pivotal role, successfully containing the Commanders' offense and forcing a key interception.
