Philly Leader

The Philadelphia Eagles secured a 28-23 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on a fall day at Lincoln Financial Field, marking their fourth consecutive win and improving their record to 6-2. The game was notable for the team's Kelly Green jerseys and LeSean McCoy's induction into the franchise's Hall of Fame during halftime.

Sydney Brown made an early impact by forcing a fumble that led to a touchdown. "That's my goal, to impact the game any way I can," Brown said. The Eagles' defense was effective, limiting Jacksonville to 215 total net yards. Nakobe Dean sealed the win with a late interception, his first in the NFL. "I just had to make a play," Dean commented.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts delivered another strong performance with 230 passing yards and two touchdowns, maintaining control without turnovers for four weeks straight. He also contributed on the ground with 67 rushing yards and a touchdown. "We found a way in the end," Hurts stated.

Saquon Barkley excelled with 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns but expressed disappointment over his fumble that resulted in a Jaguars score. "I have to do a better job of taking care of the ball," Barkley admitted.

The Eagles' linebackers shone as Zack Baun recorded ten tackles and an interception while Dean's crucial interception helped secure victory. Head Coach Nick Sirianni praised their efforts: "It's so much fun when the work that you do in the dark shows up in the light."

DeVonta Smith stepped up after A.J. Brown's injury, making an impressive catch for a touchdown that extended Philadelphia's lead. Smith remarked, "For me, I'm always ready for the challenge."

The Eagles aim to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next game against Dallas.
