The Philadelphia Eagles maintained their winning momentum with a hard-fought 22-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field. While the game wasn't the blowout some predicted, the Eagles secured their ninth consecutive win.

Saquon Barkley continued his impressive debut season with the Eagles, achieving a new milestone. He surpassed a franchise record with his ninth 100+ yard rushing game this season, amassing 124 yards on 20 carries. Despite his strong performance, Barkley didn't reach the end zone.

Jalen Hurts accounted for all three Eagles touchdowns. He punched in a one-yard rushing touchdown and connected with DeVonta Smith and Grant Calcaterra for passing scores. Smith's touchdown marked his first in over a month, while Calcaterra's was the first of his NFL career.

The game remained tense until the final seconds. A well-placed punt pinned the Panthers deep in their own territory, giving Bryce Young and the Carolina offense a chance for a game-winning drive. Young orchestrated a series of impressive plays, including a 31-yard completion to Xavier Legette, who narrowly avoided a safety in his own end zone. Later, Young found Adam Thielen, who led the Panthers with 102 receiving yards, for a crucial 13-yard conversion on fourth down.

A pivotal moment occurred late in the fourth quarter. Young appeared to connect with Legette for a game-tying touchdown, but the play was ruled incomplete after review showed the ball hitting the ground as Legette rolled into the end zone. On the ensuing fourth down, with no timeouts remaining, Young's final attempt to connect with Thielen was thwarted by Darius Slay, sealing the Eagles' victory.

An anonymous Kentucky bettor placed a substantial $3.1 million wager on the heavily favored Eagles, resulting in a profit exceeding $400,000.

Hurts finished the game 14-of-21 for 108 passing yards and two touchdowns, adding 61 rushing yards. For the Panthers, Chuba Hubbard led the ground game with 92 yards on 26 carries, including one touchdown.
