What you need to know

  • After a day of frustration on offense early in the game, Saquon Barkley’s two touchdowns in the fourth quarter gave the Eagles the lead late in the game and a narrow 15-12 victory.
  • The Eagles’ defense was the story, forcing four turnovers and a game-winning interception by Reed Blankenship against a Saints offense that had been the best in the NFL the past two weeks.
  • Injuries were also the story for the Eagles. DeVonta Smuth, Lane Johnson, Mekhi Becton and Britain Covey were injured in the first half. DeVonta Smith left the game after a big hit in the fourth quarter.
