PHILADELPHIA – The Jacksonville Jaguars might want to think about giving defensive end Travon Walker some carries going forward.

Walker caught a fumble from Saquon Barkley at the 35-yard line, rebounded off right guard Mekhi Becton, evaded a tackle attempt from wide receiver Johnny Wilson, made a tackle on quarterback Jalen Hurts at the 4-yard line, and scored a touchdown to turn what had been a failed game into a close game.

Evan Engram's catch for a 2-pointer cut the Eagles' lead to 22-16 with just over five minutes left in the third quarter.

Walker's 35-yard return evened the Jaguars' rushing total at that point.
