Jalen Hurts threw two touchdowns to Darius Cooper and Philadelphia built a 20-10 lead by halftime, but the offense largely struggled after losing Saquon Barkley to an early injury and finished 0-for-12 on third-down conversions with only 172 yards of offense. Hurts completed 12 of 27 passes for 93 yards.
Barkley went out with a right hamstring injury on the second snap of the game. The Eagles' short-handed offense was already playing without wide receiver DeVonta Smith , tight end Dallas Goedert and right tackle Lane Johnson .
The drive on which Barkley got hurt began with the Eagles' first takeaway of the season, an interception by Andrew Mukuba. It ended with Jake Elliott's 29-yard field goal. Philadelphia had been the only NFL team with zero takeaways and zero points in the opening quarter.
