Eagles’ best number: 199 (Saquon Barkley yards from scrimmage)
Eagles’ worst number: 3 (number of failed 2-point conversions)

I got a kick out of seeing pics of Robert DeNiro tailgating at the Linc before the game. Reminded me of his role in “Silver Linings Playbook.”
Three stars
- Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean (game-clinching interception).
- Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (159 rushing yards, scored 2 TDs).
- Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker (35-yard fumble return for TD).
Eagles’ best play
Barkley provided an amazing play in the first half. He caught a swing pass, spun away from a Jaguars defender, then hurdled another one while facing backwards during a 14-yard gain.
Eagles’ worst play
Any of the three failed two-point conversions qualify.
Turning point
The game wasn’t over until Dean’s interception. The Jaguars had driven to the Eagles’ 13-yard line with 1:42 left in regulation when Dean made a one-handed interception of Trevor Lawrence’s poor pass into the end zone that was intended for running back D’Ernest Johnson.
Did you notice?
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni made several questionable decisions that included bypassing a field goal in the first half and coming up short on three two-point conversions. … DeVonta Smith made an incredible, one-handed reception for a TD in the fourth quarter. … Barkley slid short of the first-down marker in the next drive. Jake Elliott’s 57-yard field goal attempt caromed off the left upright. … Wide receiver A.J. Brown left the game with a knee injury and did not return.
