Barkley, who has had a resurgence this season, was the spark plug Philadelphia needed. He ran for a 70-yard touchdown to jump-start the team coming out of halftime.

He put the exclamation point on the game in the fourth quarter. He received Hurts’ hand, made a move and zoomed 72 yards through the Rams’ secondary.

Barkley also had four catches for 47 yards.

Kenneth Gainwell added a touchdown of his own late in the third to extend their lead.

Jalen Hurts was 15 of 22 for 179 yards and had a touchdown pass to AJ Brown. The star wide receiver had six catches for 109 yards.

Los Angeles was within six points of the lead after Matthew Stafford threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Demarcus Robinson with 10:51 left in the third quarter. But after Gainwell’s touchdown, the Rams missed a field goal on their next drive and then punted.

Stafford threw a nasty touchdown to Cooper Kupp, but the offense was far from what it needed to be to compete with the Eagles’ high-powered offense. They had no answer for Barkley.

The veteran quarterback had 243 passing yards on 24 of 36 passing. Puka Nacua led the team with nine catches for 117 yards. It is the second game in a row that Nacua received more than 100 yards.

The Eagles (9-2) extended their NFC East lead over the Washington Commanders and moved two wins ahead of them in the win column. The Commanders fell in a barn burner to the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the day.
