Fourth-quarter surge sends Eagles past Commanders

Saquon Barkley scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns in 20 seconds and the Philadelphia Eagles overcame a slow start for a 26-18 win against the visiting Washington Commanders on Thursday night. Held to three points in the first half, the Eagles (8-2) rallied to win their sixth straight game and strengthened their NFC East lead over the Commanders (7-4). Jalen Hurts passed for 221 yards and rushed for 39. His 1-yard TD run with 12 minutes left gave Philadelphia its first lead at 12-10, but Jake Elliott missed the extra point after missing two first-half field-goal attempts. Barkley rushed for 146 yards and went over the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth time in his career.
