The Eagles extended their NFC East lead, scoring 20 fourth-quarter points to beat the second-place Washington Commanders 26-18 on Thursday night at Lincoln Financial Field. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley ran for 146 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns,

Hurts’ head was spiked into the turf by linebacker Frankie Luvu in the second quarter, and the $255 million quarterback’s head bounced off the ground. Hurts rolled over, face down, and grabbed his helmet. He was examined in the sideline medical tent but stayed in the game, finishing with 221 yards passing.

It was another ugly start with seven points left on the board, but Philadelphia continued to hit Washington with body blows, and the Commanders eventually folded. The Eagles have won six games in a row, and they’re 8-2 and in firm control of the NFC East after a 26-18 win over the Commanders on Amazon Prime’s ‘Thursday Night Football.’
