Two touchdowns from Saquon Barkley helped the Philadelphia Eagles claim their sixth straight win with a 26-18 victory over the Washington Commanders.
The Eagles running back found the end zone twice in the fourth quarter as Philadelphia improved to an 8-2 record.
Washington looked the better of the two sides early, with the Commanders taking the lead through a one-yard touchdown rush from Brian Robinson Jr in the opening quarter.

Both teams traded field goals over the next two quarters until Philadelphia clawed on top at the start of the fourth courtesy of a rushing touchdown for quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Barkley’s dual scores in 20 seconds then all but wrapped up Philadelphia’s win, a consolation touchdown in the dying seconds not enough for Washington to get across the line.
Hurts finished with 221 yards in the air, while his opposite number Jayden Daniels threw for 191 yards with one touchdown and an interception.
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!
