The Philadelphia Eagles did exactly what they needed to do on Thursday night.

Philadelphia faces the Washington Commanders in a key NFC East clash. Eagles and Commanders hold the top two spots in the division, so we added a little more joy to the game.

The Eagles’ offense started slowly, scoring just three points in the first half, but the defense outpaced them. Philadelphia trailed by just four points at halftime, but the offense exploded in the second half and the Eagles won the game 26-18.

It was Philadelphia’s sixth win in a row and the team’s record currently stands at 8-2. It’s been a great month and a half for the Eagles, and Thursday’s shootout was just another reason why. A big reason why the offense unsurprisingly turned things around was superstar running back Saquon Barkley.

Barkley recorded 146 yards on the ground for two touchdowns. He also had two receptions for 52 yards. It was a great game and Dallas Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons I took it to social media then praising Barkley and roasting the New York Giants.

“I blame the Giants,” Parsons said. “Giants aside, all the jokes have almost led us to believe that Saquon is no longer HIM! That really means a lot! Daniel Jones got paid through Saquon! He was more valuable to their franchise! That really says a lot!”

That’s a pretty solid stamp of approval for Barkley and shows that his performance this season is turning heads.
