In Week 16 of the NFL regular season, the Eagles visited the Commanders' home field. Despite a turnover on the opening tip-off, two fouls on the catch, and three shots that went wide to the left, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and their teammates ultimately secured a 29-18 victory.
In terms of statistics, Jalen Hertz, wearing an Philadelphia Eagles jerseys, completed 22 of 30 passes for 185 yards and 2 touchdowns; Barkley rushed 21 times for 132 yards and 1 touchdown; wide receiver A. J. Brown received 9 passes for 95 yards. For the playmakers, quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 7 of 14 passes for 95 yards; Josh Johnson completed 5 of 9 passes for 43 yards and 1 interception.
The Eagles thus became the first team to lead the NL East for two consecutive seasons – fans in their midnight green nfl jersey can have a Merry Christmas! From 2001 to 2004, the Eagles won the NL East title four times in a row, and since then, no other division in NFL history has had such a long winning streak.
