New Orleans, however, gave the Eagles fits and by the time Philadelphia found its footing and a little momentum in the third quarter, the Saints were able to shut it down.

Quarterback [Andy Dalton](/team/players-roster/andy-dalton/) probably should have avoided a couple of the six sacks he absorbed, and he definitely wasn't at his best on his first-half interception that kept the Saints from increasing their 13-0 lead. But it was choppy in the middle, partly attributable to attrition (the Saints entered the game without both starting guards, and lost starting right tackle [Ryan Ramczyk](/team/players-roster/ryan-ramczyk/) during the game), and New Orleans simply wasn't able to hold the Eagles' pass rush at bay (seven sacks allowed).

The Saints (7-9) won their third consecutive game, and second straight on the road,

Cameron Jordan sets franchise record, Marshon Lattimore seals victory, the New Orleans Saints get big win against the Philadelphia Eagles.

But there is still a path to the postseason for New Orleans. A fantastic performance to extend what has been an impressive stretch of play for the very talented unit. He has made measurable strides in coverage and has proven that he is a starting linebacker talent in the NFL. This year, he has seen some opportunities due to injuries at the position and he has taken advantage of every chance he has gotten. Based on his production this season, just one half sack on the year, it seems likely the Saints will allow Davenport to walk and test the market while continuing to invest in Granderson. New Orleans was in a clear and obvious tailspin before the four-time Pro Bowler jumped a route deep in Philadelphia’s own territory to not only intercept a pass, but put points on the board. Jordan has been an ironman missing only two games for which he was eligible to play, one each in the last two season. They limited the Eagles to just 3 points and a pair of first downs, both of which gained in the final 11 seconds of play. It was a roller coaster of a game, but the New Orleans Saints pulled off a second-straight unprecedented victory on the road Sunday. After the interception, Minshew did not look like the quarterback he had settled into being in the second half. Saints quarterback Andy Dalton passed for 164 yards in the first half, but finished the game with only 30 more. Unfortunately for New Orleans, the game didn’t end after the first half.

The Eagles will have to go into their regular-season finale looking to lock up the NFC East title after Minshew and the offense couldn't get much going ...

We believed in the plan and believed in the guys. Our guys are going to lay it out on the line next week because this is the one, this is the biggest game of the year. The team said that Sweat suffered a neck injury and was transported via ambulance to a hospital with movement in all of his extremities. But all told, the defense buckled down, allowing just 13 points in addition to Minshew’s interception that was returned for a Saints defensive touchdown. But that wasn’t the case for a majority of Sunday’s game, and now the call for Hurts grows louder with the postseason looming. While the 24-year-old pushed to make his return, the Eagles decided against Hurts and sidelined him for another week. Ahead of this weekend, Hurts returned to the practice field for the first time since sustaining his shoulder injury Dec. “You’ve got to find a way to stop the bleeding,” Smith said. On the play, Dickerson appeared to pancake his defender. Running back Miles Sanders, who missed one of three practices last week with a knee injury, struggled to get much going on the ground, although a portion of that slow-paced offense was due to Steichen and Minshew’s combined misfires. The Eagles have still yet to lock up home-field advantage and the division title, with other contenders still looming. “The mindset is everything we want is right in front of us,” tight end Dallas Goedert said.

The Philadelphia Eagles need one more win to secure home-field advantage through the playoffs. Will they have Jalen Hurts in the lineup against the Saints?

The New Orleans Saints did their part, beating the Philadelphia Eagles 20-10 for their third straight win.

“The last several games we had we have been able to find ways to win. The Saints scored 17 straight points and made a game-saving defensive stand at the end to win consecutive games for the first time this season. He jumped from one sack as a rookie to eight and then to 12 1/2 in 2013. “We’ve been able to get three of them and we’ve got another tough opponent next week.” The Saints beat Atlanta two weeks ago and then refused to fold after falling behind by two scores last week at Cleveland during the coldest game in franchise history (9 degrees). The Saints beat the Eagles 20-10 but were eliminated from the NFC South title race when Tampa Bay rallied to beat Carolina.

[Cameron Jordan](/team/players-roster/cameron-jordan/) had three sacks, and the third one gave him 115.5 in his Saints career, which places him atop the ladder for the lead in franchise history. Jordan also forced a fumble, had four quarterback hits and a tackle for loss as the Saints held the NFL's highest-scoring team (29.7 per game) to one-third of its average. But in lieu of that, rookie receiver [Rashid Shaheed](/team/players-roster/rashid-shaheed/) was targeted six times, caught passes each time and led the team with 79 receiving yards.

The Eagles mounted a comeback in the third quarter, scoring 10 unanswered points on a 56-yard field goal by Jake Elliott with 11:03 left in the period and a 78-yard touchdown pass from Minshew to A.J. With 58 seconds left in the third, the Eagles had drawn within 13-10. He made it 13-0 with a 20-yard kick with 3:08 left in the quarter. Lutz hit from 54 yards out with 8:35 left in the half for a 10-0 edge. The Saints’ victory Sunday was their season-high third in a row, coming after they forced a lackluster performance by Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew, who was starting in place of injured MVP candidate Jalen Hurts. 1), but not even a 20-10 road victory over the Eagles kept them from being eliminated from playoff contention.

Gardner Minshew will start against the Saints, and his performance will decide whether Hurts will need to play in Week 18.

Marshon Lattimore and Chris Olave are both active against the Eagles. Here's the full New Orleans Saints inactive list for Week 17's game.

- S Marcus Maye (ruled out due to injury) They were each limited in practice this week, but the Saints activated them for Sunday’s game, and they should be game-changers against the Eagles. Both former Ohio State Buckeyes were questionable due to injuries, but they’ll each make their return in hopes of bringing their team a win.

Jalen Hurts is "The System" is one of the many national reactions to the Philadelphia Eagles' shocking 20-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Gardner Minshew sealed the Eagles’ fate by throwing an interception to Marshon Lattimore that was returned 12 yards for a touchdown with 5:10 to play. In what was arguably their worst offensive performance of the season, the Eagles couldn’t muster more than 10 points against the Saints defense with Jalen Hurts missing his second consecutive game. Defense has structural problems but the pass rush is great. The team didn’t get a first down on their first four offensive possessions and the Saints had over 37 minutes of possession over the course of the day. But Philly can still do it in Week 18 against a Giants team ticketed for sixth seed and with little to play for before wild-card round. If they get Hurts back healthy, the Eagles are a good team again.
