Barkley's Late TD, Tucker's Misses Propel Eagles to 24-19 Win Over Ravens, Eighth Straight Victory

Dec 1, 2024, 10:56 PM

Despite trailing 9-0 early in the game, the Philadelphia Eagles, led by Saquon Barkley, rallied to a 24-19 victory over the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, extending their winning streak to eight games. Barkley rushed for over 100 yards, including a crucial 25-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that sealed the win, prompting chants of 'MVP' from the crowd. His standout performance has elevated him to the second-best odds for the NFL MVP award, behind only Josh Allen. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni praised wide receivers Parris Campbell and Jahan Dotson for their downfield blocking on Barkley's touchdown run. The Eagles' top-ranked run defense effectively contained Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who totaled over 300 yards but was unable to lead his team to victory. Ravens kicker Justin Tucker missed two field goals and an extra point, contributing to Baltimore's loss and continuing his struggles in all five of the team's losses this season. Jackson commented post-game that his mother cussed him out for not running more. The Eagles improve to 10-2, remaining one game behind Detroit for the top spot in the NFC, while the Ravens fall to 8-5 before their bye week.
