The Philadelphia Eagles put an end to their losing streak by dominating the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0. After dropping three straight games, the Eagles returned to form with a balanced and efficient performance.
Jalen Hurts was sharp, completing 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns, including two to tight end Dallas Goedert, who led the team with 70 receiving yards on six catches. A.J. Brown also made his presence felt, hauling in a 27-yard touchdown pass. Saquon Barkley continued his hot streak on the ground, rushing 22 times for 78 yards and a touchdown, while backup Tank Bigsby added 57 yards on 17 carries.
Las Vegas struggled to find rhythm behind backup quarterback Kenny Pickett, who managed just 64 yards on 15 of 25 passing and threw an interception to Eagles linebacker Zach Baun. Star tight end Brock Bowers was limited to six catches for 28 yards. Brandon Graham, returning from retirement, led with two sacks, contributing to a total of four on Pickett.
With the Dallas Cowboys sitting at 6-6-1 heading into their Sunday night matchup with Minnesota, the Eagles are in great position to reclaim the NFC East crown. A win or a Dallas loss would give Philadelphia a clear path to defending their division title and continuing their Super Bowl run.
