The Philadelphia Eagles secured a commanding 38-14 victory over the Houston Texans in Week 16 of the 2026 season, solidifying their playoff positioning as the regular season winds down. With crucial implications on the line, the Eagles demonstrated their dominance on both sides of the ball. Caleb Williams was spectacular for Philadelphia, throwing four touchdown passes while leading the offense with precision. James Cook III had a standout performance on the ground, rushing for 162 yards and keeping the Texans' defense on its heels. For Houston, Fernando Mendoza threw for 289 yards, relying heavily on Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who racked up 106 receiving yards but struggled to find the end zone. Defensively, the Eagles were relentless, with Jack Jones making a significant impact by snagging two interceptions that shifted momentum in Philadelphia's favor. Lukas Van Ness's 1.5 sacks added pressure on Mendoza, limiting the Texans' response and allowing the Eagles to control the pace of the game. The turning point came in the second quarter when a timely interception by Jones set up a quick touchdown, effectively putting the game out of reach for Houston.
