The Jaguars gained 31 yards in the first half and trailed the Eagles 16-0 at halftime

The Eagles' defense and special teams led the home team to a 16-0 halftime lead over the Jaguars.

The Jaguars finished the first half with just 31 yards and one first down on 17 plays and turned it up twice. They also punted three times and turned the ball over on downs.

Trevor Lawrence completed just 4 of 10 passes for 23 yards and an interception, with Eagles linebacker Zack Baun picking him off with 1:38 left. The Eagles converted with a seven-play, 42-yard drive as Saquon Barkley scored his second touchdown on a 19-yard run on third-and-17.

Barkley also received a 20-yard touchdown reception from Jalen Hurts, who was 13 of 16 for 116 yards.

Hurts failed on a two-point conversion from the 1 after a penalty to the Jaguars, who stopped the Brotherly Shove. The Eagles had completed 85 percent of their quarterback push plays this season.

Philadelphia had three possession starts in Jacksonville territory – on the 20th, 39th and 42nd – scoring two touchdowns and turning it over on downs. The Eagles had two possessions Sunday before the Jaguars even had a possession after Austin Trammell faked a punt that Sydney Brown recovered for the Eagles at the Jacksonville 20.

Barkley has 13 carries for 61 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 40 yards and a touchdown.

He had one of the best plays of the year with a spin move and a reverse hurdle over a Jaguars player for a 14-yard gain on a catch-and-run.
