Sunday, September 22nd, 2024

In New Orleans, Saquon Barkley's touchdowns in the fourth quarter led the Philadelphia Eagles to a narrow 15-12 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Barkley executed a 65-yard run with a little over a minute to go and followed it up with a 4-yard touchdown with 1:01 remaining. Dallas Goedert's impressive 61-yard catch set up the Eagles' final touchdown.

Reed Blankenship secured the win with an interception, highlighting a solid defensive effort against a Saints team that had scored 91 points in their previous two games.

The Eagles held New Orleans to just 219 yards of offense, but they faced difficulties early on as Jalen Hurts turned the ball over twice and the offense failed to convert crucial fourth downs.

The Saints grabbed a 12-7 lead with just over two minutes left, but the Eagles mounted a thrilling comeback to claim victory.
