Eagles safety Reed Blankenship sealed the victory when he intercepted Derek Carr's pass over the middle with 48 seconds left.
Saquon Barkley rushed for fourth-quarter touchdowns of 65 and 4 yards, and the Philadelphia Eagles rebounded from a maddening late-game collapse six days earlier to beat the New Orleans Saints 15-12 on Sunday.
Coming off a 22-21 home loss to Atlanta on Monday night, the Eagles did not allow a touchdown until Carr found Chris Olave for a 12-yard, go-ahead score with just more than two minutes left. That gave the Saints a 12-7 lead after a failed 2-point try. The Eagles again threatened to score late in the second quarter, only to come away empty when they eschewed a field goal on fourth-and-1 from the New Orleans 15 with just 14 seconds left.
But after J.T. Gray's block of Braden Mann's punt gave New Orleans the ball inside the Philadelphia 30, New Orleans stalled out on their own fourth-and-1 failure late in the third quarter. Barkley's long run came four play's later to make it 7-3.
