The Philadelphia Eagles ended their losing streak by knocking out the Las Vegas Raiders, 31-0, to earn a much-deserved victory in the midst of a playoff race.
The Eagles, still leading the NFC East, improved to 9-5 after losing their last three games, including a brutal performance against the Los Angeles Chargers where quarterback Jalen Hurts recorded a career-high five turnovers in an overtime loss.
In this one, Hurts was efficient with 175 passing yards on 12-of-15 passing after throwing four interceptions last week. He threw three touchdown passes, including two to tight end Dallas Goedert, who was the game’s leading receiver with 70 yards on six catches.

And after missing a deep connection against the Chargers, AJ Brown hauled in a 27-yard touchdown pass from Hurts in what could be the offensive explosion this team needs to head to the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Raiders had to go with their backup quarterback in this one, as Kenny Pickett took over at center.

Pickett struggled throughout the game in the cold South Philadelphia weather, throwing for just 64 yards on 15-of-25 passing with an interception of Eagles linebacker Zach Baun on a pass intended for star tight end Brock Bowers.
Bowers may have had six catches in this game, but he only had 28 yards for Las Vegas. The Eagles defense was relentless throughout the game, including four sacks on Pickett with Brandon Graham, who came out of retirement to help the Eagles pass rush, collecting two to lead the way.

Eagles fans will also love seeing Saquon Barkley find the end zone again. He had a big touchdown last week, and he kept the momentum going six days later with 22 carries for 78 yards and a score.
The game got to the point where the starters came out on offense for Philadelphia, as Tanner McKee took over at quarterback and Tank Bigsby took over for Barkley in the backfield. Bigsby just missed a touchdown, as he was placed on fourth-and-goal from the goal line. He would finish with 57 yards on 17 carries.
With the Dallas Cowboys sitting at 6-6-1 heading into Sunday night’s matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, the Eagles are poised to retake the division crown after winning it last season en route to a Super Bowl victory.

Philadelphia will have its eyes on this game, as a Dallas loss would ice the division and give the Eagles a path to defending their title.
