Two touchdowns from Saquon Barkley helped the Philadelphia Eagles claim their sixth straight win with a 26-18 victory over the Washington Commanders.
The Eagles running back found the end zone twice in the fourth quarter as Philadelphia improved to an 8-2 record.
Washington looked the better of the two sides early, with the Commanders taking the lead through a one-yard touchdown rush from Brian Robinson Jr in the opening quarter.

Both teams traded field goals over the next two quarters until Philadelphia clawed on top at the start of the fourth courtesy of a rushing touchdown for quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Barkley’s dual scores in 20 seconds then all but wrapped up Philadelphia’s win, a consolation touchdown in the dying seconds not enough for Washington to get across the line.
Hurts finished with 221 yards in the air, while his opposite number Jayden Daniels threw for 191 yards with one touchdown and an interception.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
