Saquon Barkley ran for 107 yards and a touchdown and the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the host Baltimore Ravens 24-19 on Sunday for their eighth consecutive victory. The Eagles (10-2) have not lost since Sept. 29. They improved to 6-1 in road games and maintained their NFC East lead over the second-place Washington Commanders (8-5). Jalen Hurts passed for 118 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 29 yards and a score for the Eagles. In a showdown between Philadelphia’s No. 1 defense and Baltimore’s No. 1 offense, the Eagles held the Ravens to their second-fewest points and second-fewest yards (372) this season. The Ravens (8-5) head into their bye week after failing to keep pace with the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3), who outslugged the Cincinnati Bengals 44-38 earlier Sunday. Lamar Jackson passed for 237 yards and two TDs but lost for just the second time in 25 career starts against NFC opponents. Justin Tucker’s struggles continued, as he missed two field goals and an extra point. After a scoreless third quarter, Barkley broke free for a 25-yard touchdown run to extend the Eagles’ lead to 21-12 with 7:56 to play in the fourth. Philadelphia forced a turnover on downs on Baltimore’s ensuing possession and then chewed up the clock with an 11-play drive, capped by Jake Elliott’s 35-yard field goal with 1:03 left to make it 24-12. Jackson found Isaiah Likely for an 11-yard TD with three seconds left, but Philadelphia then recovered an onside kick. Barkley (1,499 yards) increased his NFL rushing lead over the Ravens’ Derrick Henry (1,407), who finished with 82 yards on 19 carries. Baltimore built a 9-0 lead in the first quarter, starting with Tucker’s 34-yard field goal. Jackson then fired a 14-yard pass to a leaping Mark Andrews in the end zone, but Tucker’s extra-point attempt struck the left upright. After punting on its first four possessions, Philadelphia surged ahead 14-9 with back-to-back touchdown drives. Hurts tallied a TD pass — 17 yards to Dallas Goedert about midway through the second quarter — and a 1-yard TD run at the 2:00 mark. Tucker’s 50-yard field goal trimmed the Ravens’ deficit to 14-12 with three seconds left before halftime. Baltimore had two chances to retake the lead with long field goals in the third quarter, but Tucker couldn’t convert. He missed wide left from 47 yards out on the first drive of the second half and was wide right from 53 yards out with 1:21 remaining in the quarter. –Field Level Media<\/p>\n
