He connected frequently with Zachariah Branch, who racked up 247 receiving yards, making crucial plays that kept the Eagles’ defense on their heels. Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley led the Eagles’ ground attack with 130 rushing yards but found himself outmatched in a game dominated by the Falcons’ aerial assault.
