The Eagles won their eighth consecutive game behind a defense that passes every test and a running game led by Saquon Barkley that wears its opponents down late in games. The 24-19 win over the Ravens in Baltimore kept the Eagles three games ahead of Washington in the loss column at the top of the NFC East and just a game behind the Detroit Lions for the best record in the NFC.

The quarterback, after posting a passer rating above 100 in his previous four games, did not play as well in the team's first-place showdown with the Commanders.

Eagles’ coaches and trainers have been devising a plan to make sure Jalen Hurts remains healthy going into the playoffs this time around.
