Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley help Eagles run away from Bengals, 37-17

CINCINNATI — Jalen Hurts rushed for three touchdowns and another TD to help the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Cincinnati Bengals 37-17 on Sunday for their third straight win.

Hurts was 16-for-20 passing for 236 yards. He also had 10 catches for 37 yards.

Saquon Barkey rushed for 108 yards and Philadelphia (5-2) won for the fourth time in five games overall. The Eagles scored the final 20 points of the afternoon.

Hurts’ 1-yard run in the fourth quarter capped an 85-yard drive that ate up 7:37 of the clock to give Philadelphia a 34-17 lead with 4 1/2 minutes left.

Nakobe Dean then recovered a fumble by Mike Gesicki and Jake Elliott kicked a 47-yarder to cap it off.

Cincinnati (3-5) finished with just 58 yards rushing, continuing its season-ending woes. Joe Burrow went 26-for-37 for 234 yards and a touchdown with an interception.

Burrow found Ja’Marr Chase for a 2-yard TD on the game’s first possession. But Hurts’ first 1-yard rush tied the game at 10 late in the first half.
