Game highlights: Philadelphia Eagles 26, Washington Commanders 18

Saquon Barkley's two touchdowns late in the fourth quarter helped the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders, 26-18, on Thursday night at Lincoln Financial Field to remain in first place in the NFC East.

The win improves the Birds to 8-2 and extends their winning streak to six games.

Barkley scored twice in the final five minutes after Philadelphia's offense didn't find the end zone until early in the fourth quarter. He had touchdown runs of 23 and 39 in the win. He rushed for 146 yards on 26 carries and hauled in two catches for 52 yards. 

Saquon Barkley scored his second touchdown not long after he scored his first to ice the game for Philadelphia. 

Barkley scored on a 39-yard touchdown to make a 26-10 game late in the fourth quarter. He rushed for 146 yards on 26 carries along with his two touchdowns. 

Saquon Barkley fell on the 1-yard line last time the Eagles got close to the goal line, but this time he found the end zone. 

Barkley scampered 23 yards on a score to give the Birds a 19-10 lead over Washington with 4:58 left in the game. 

If the Eagles can hold, they'll remain in first place in the NFC East. 

The Eagles finally took the lead: Jalen Hurts scored on a 1-yard rushing touchdown to give Philly a 12-10 lead early in the fourth quarter. 

The drive lasted five minutes, and 27 seconds on 11 plays. 

Jake Elliott, who has had a forgettable night, missed the extra point. He's already missed two field goals. 

The Georgia Bulldogs are having themselves a good night for the Eagles. 

Edge rusher Nolan Smith sacked Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels for a loss of 8 yards in the third quarter to force the Commanders to punt. 

Now, the Eagles have a chance to take the lead with 2:27 remaining in the third quarter. 

Jake Elliott hit another field goal, this time from 31 yards out to chip away at Washington's lead and make it 10-6 midway through the third quarter. 

Philadelphia still has yet to find the end zone vs. Washington. 

Saquon Barkley had a 43-yard reception on the drive to set up Elliott's field goal, but it went to waste. 

Zane Gonzalez booted in a 45-yard field goal early in the third quarter to make it a 10-3 lead for Washington over the Birds. 

Now, we'll get our first look at the Eagles in the second half after Jalen Hurts was cleared to return after being evaluated for a concussion. 

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was cleared to return to Thursday night's game against the Washington Commanders after being evaluated for a concussion. He was spotted on the blue stationary bike at the beginning of the third quarter. 

Hurts was checked out in the blue medical by an independent neurologist before halftime, according to the Amazon Prime broadcast.

 Hurts then jogged into the locker room at halftime to join his team as the Eagles trail Washington, 7-3.

Hurts took multiple hard hits to his helmet against the Commanders, including one on a trick play where he got up slowly. Hurts finished the half by completing 10 of his 19 passes for 101 yards. He also rushed for 23 yards on five carries.  

The Eagles are trailing the Commanders, 7-3, at halftime after an ugly two quarters of football. 

Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia's offense haven't been able to get anything going and have struggled to move the ball down the field, despite driving at the end of the second quarter to get a field goal. Hurts has completed 10 of his 19 passes for 101 yards, and has bailed from clean pockets, missed receivers and made poor throws. Hurts took several hard hits in the half and was in the blue medical tent to end the quarter. 

A.J. Brown leads Philadelphia in receiving with three catches on 42 yards, but the Eagles' other pass catchers haven't really been involved. Saquon Barkley topped the 1,000-yard rushing mark on the season in the first half and recorded 56 yards on the ground. 

Jake Elliott, Philadelphia's longtime kicker, finally connected with a field goal late in the first half, but he missed two field goals. He's missed five on the season. He only missed two last year. 

Meanwhile, Philadelphia's defense has been doing its job against rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. 

Daniels has been efficient and completed 8 of his 13 passes for 83 yards, but the Eagles' defense has done a solid job of limiting explosive plays. Brian Robinson Jr. scored the only touchdown of the game in the first quarter. 

Standout linebacker Zack Baun leads the team in tackles with five and Brandon Graham and Josh Sweat have each picked up sacks. 

After missing two field goals, Jake Elliott made a 21-yard field goal to make it a 7-3 game late in the first half. 

The Eagles' drive stalled after a questionable trick-play call where Jalen Hurts was sacked for 13 yards, but then it got worse. 

A few plays later, Eagles kicker Jake Elliott missed his second field goal of the night. His attempt from 51 yards out went wide left. 

Elliott has missed five field goals so far this season. He only missed two last season. 

The Commanders will take over from their own 41-yard line. 

Drops by DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson killed Philadelphia's third drive of the game. 

Smith dropped a pass on first-down, while Dotson dropped a pass on a play that would've given Philadelphia a first down. 

Brian Robinson scored on a 1-yard touchdown late in the first quarter to give the Commanders a 7-0 lead over the Eagles. 

The Commanders drove down the field in just under two minutes on four plays. 

A 34-yard pass from Jayden Daniels to Austin Ekeler in the flat set up the touchdown by Robinson. 

The Eagles will take over with 3:26 left in the first quarter. 

After limping off the field on the last drive, starting left guard Landon Dickerson returned to the field on Philadelphia's second drive. 

Zach Baun, the reigning NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Cowboys, didn't take long to make a play against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders. 

Baun dove and broke up a pass from Daniels intended for Washington wideout Noah Brown over the middle of the field, which forced the Commanders to punt. 

The Eagles were moving the ball at will against Washington after two catches by A.J. Brown, but the drive stalled after a holding call on right guard Mekhi Becton. 

The Eagles had a chance to take the lead, but Jake Elliott missed a 44-yard attempt, so Washington will take over in their own territory early in the first quarter. 

Eagles two-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson limped off the field with an apparent injury on Philadelphia's first series. 

Saquon Barkley rushed for a first down on the play on third-and-two, and it looked like the star running back landed on Dickerson's right leg. He walked off the field on his own power, but Dickerson looked like he was in pain. 

Tyler Steen replaced Dickerson. 

There's no concern Zach Ertz will be booed when he returns to Philadelphia in a Washington Commanders uniform Thursday night. The legendary tight end only made one of the greatest plays in Philadelphia Eagles history.

"He'll probably get a good one," Dallas Goedert said with a smile. "Not many people have scored a game-winning touchdown for the Super Bowl in Philadelphia history. I'm sure they'll be happy to see him again."

After 11 seasons in the NFL, defensive end Vinny Curry is officially retiring as a Philadelphia Eagle.

Curry, who helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LII in 2017, announced his retirement on the PHLY Eagles postgame show following Philadelphia's win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 10.

"Growing up as a 5-year-old kid and being a diehard Eagles fan, to play here... and win a Super Bowl here, and to retire as an Eagle means a lot," he said.

The Eagles will celebrate Curry's retirement at Lincoln Financial Field tonight when the Birds host the Washington Commanders.

"I think the only thing that'll make that night more special is if we win," Curry said.

Jordan Mailata is officially active for the Birds, which means he'll be back in the lineup against the Commanders.
