The Philadelphia Eagles won their sixth straight game by delivering a 26-18 home win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football.
Their latest victory had them rallying from a four-point fourth quarter deficit to overwhelm the Commanders the rest of the way through.
Here, DAZN lists five takeaways from the Eagles soaring to another win.
The tush push is damn-near unstoppable
Trailing by four points early in the fourth quarter, the Eagles went to one of the most dominant goal-line plays — the tush push. A touchdown resulted and the Eagles never looked back.
At this point, the Eagles' go-to play is pretty automatic. Philly's O-line gets into its stance, Jalen Hurts gets low and the play almost always yields a first down or touchdown.
What a heads-up play by Grant Calcaterra
Watch Hurts complete this big pass to Dallas Goedert. When the tight end gets clobbered, he coughs up the ball but backup tight end Grant Calcaterra does an excellent job trailing the play, hustling and falling onto the ball, beating three Commanders to recover the fumble and keep the momentum in the Eagles' favor.
Reed Blankenship timed this pick of Jayden Daniels perfectly
Blankenship read this play remarkably and seized the moment with this aptly-timed interception. Just a fantastic play from the Eagles' third-year safety.
The Eagles' defense got to Daniels often, tossing him in the pressure cooker
Those defensive plays spoke volumes toward this victory. Plus, the Eagles' defense got to Daniels, ringing up three sacks on the star quarterback and limiting him to 191 yards passing.
Saquon Barkley continues to give NY Giants' fans recurring nightmares
New York Giants' fans have got to be sick on a weekly basis learning of Saquon Barkley's latest exploits. Remember, the Giants refused to re-sign the star running back only to watch their NFC East rival Eagles swoop in. Under the national spotlight of Thursday Night Football, Barkley took a while to get his motor revving but when he did ... it was lights out for the Commanders.
First, Barkley rushed for this 23-yard touchdown to give the Eagles an insurance score.
Then, came the backbreaker with this 39-yard TD rush. Barkley's total damages? 146 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 26 carries.
A delight for the Eagles ... and nightmare for Giants' fans.
