Saquon Barkley’s two touchdowns in the final quarter helped Philadelphia Eagles snatch a 15-12 win over New Orleans Saints.
The Saints held a 3-0 lead courtesy of a Blake Grupe field goal before the contest came alive at the death.
The moment of the match arrived when Barkley ran 65 yards for the Eagles’ first score but another Grupe field goal alongside a Chris Olave touchdown looked like it would give Saints victory.
However, Barkley went in from four yards to clinch the win.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
