The Saints’ powerful offense was stifled by the Eagles for almost 58 minutes. Carr was able to direct a touchdown drive that gave his team the temporary lead. The Saints got a touchdown pass from Carr to Chris Olave with 2:03 left to take a 12-7 advantage.

Saquon Barkley scored two touchdowns as the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New Orleans Saints, 15-12, on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. The win improved the Eagles to 2-1 on the season. Safety Reed Blankenship sealed the win with an interception on the following drive.

But the Eagles blew many chances. Hurts threw an interception in the end zone to end one drive, fumbled on the next. Then facing a 4th-and-1 from the Saints' 15 with 14 seconds left, Barkley was stopped on a fake tush push. Then in the third quarter, the Eagles passed up a 55-yard field goal attempt, and Hurts was sacked on 4th-and-1.
