THE Philadelphia Eagles clinched a play-off berth after a 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers, coupled with a defeat for the Arizona Cardinals.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts bundled over from a yard to set the Eagles on their way and a touchdown late in the second quarter from Devonta Smith saw NFC East leaders Philadelphia in front 14-10, only for Chuba Hubbard to drive in from a yard out and edge the visitors ahead again.
Hopes of an upset, though, were dashed when tight end Grant Calcaterra took a four-yard pass and Saquon Barkley’s conversion saw the Eagles maintain their position as the number two seed in the NFC, behind the Detroit Lions.
