The Philadelphia Eagles snapped their losing streak, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders, 31-0, to earn a much-needed victory in the midst of a playoff race.
The Eagles, still the NFC East leaders, moved to 9-5 after losing their last three games, including a brutal performance against the Los Angeles Chargers, where quarterback Jalen Hurts had 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 had three touchdown passes, including two to tight end Dallas Goedert, who was the game’s leading receiver with 70 yards on six receptions.

And after missing a deep pass connection against the Chargers, AJ Brown caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Hurts in what could be the offensive explosion this team needs heading into the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Raiders had to go with their backup quarterback in this one, as Kenny Pickett took over the duties under 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 by Eagles linebacker Zach Baun on a pass intended for star tight end Brock Bowers.
Bowers may have had six receptions in this game, but he only had 28 yards for Las Vegas. The Eagles defense was relentless throughout the game, including four sacks of Pickett with Brandon Graham, who came out of retirement to help the Eagles’ pass rush, posting two to lead the way.

Eagles fans will also love seeing Saquon Barkley find the end zone once again. He had a big rushing touchdown last week and 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 replaced Barkley in the backfield. Bigsby barely missed a touchdown run as he was trapped 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 their Sunday night bout against the Minnesota Vikings, the Eagles are poised to retake the division crown after winning it last season on their way to a Super Bowl victory.

Philadelphia will have its eyes on that matchup, as a Dallas loss would freeze the division and give the Eagles a path to defend their title.
