The Jaguars had a chance — a good chance — to pull off an improbable comeback. However, the Jaguars did what the Jaguars did this season.

Linebacker Nakobe Dean saved the day for the Eagles by intercepting Trevor Lawrence in the end zone on a pass intended for running back D'Ernest Johnson with 1:38 left and the Jaguars at the Eagles 13. Philadelphia held on a 28:23 win In a game it dominated but tried to give in.

It was Jacksonville's fifth loss by five points or less, the score was just 7-2. The Eagles improved to 6-2 with their fourth straight win.

Philadelphia led 22-0 in the third quarter.

However, the Eagles avoided field goals on fourth down plays at the Jacksonville 22 and 25, turning the game around on downs; they gave up a scoop-and-score on a Saquon Barkley fumble; They failed on three 2-point conversions; and they missed a 57-yard field goal attempt with 2:11 left that gave the Jaguars good field position and a chance to win.

Barkley did all the heavy lifting on offense, rushing for 159 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries and catching three passes for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Jalen Hurts finished 18 of 24 for 230 yards and two touchdowns. The Eagles lost AJ Brown to a knee injury before the second half, but DeVonta Smith caught four passes for 87 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown that gave the Eagles the final points.

The Jaguars scored two touchdowns in 14 seconds and converted both 2-point conversions to get back into the game in the third quarter.

On the next play from scrimmage, Barkley fumbled and Travon Walker returned the ball 35 yards for a touchdown. The replay showed Ventrell Miller catching Barkley's ankle before he went down and caused the fumble. However, the league's officiating office confirmed the on-field decision that Barkley had not been touched before the fumble.
